UNBOXED on Purpose – Episode 128: Church Hurt | Featuring Elizabeth Bennett McKinney

What happens when the place meant to nurture your faith becomes the source of your pain?

In this powerful episode, we are unboxing the reality of church hurt—where faith and community meet tension, misunderstanding, and sometimes deep wounds.

Elizabeth Bennett McKinney shares her personal journey from childhood bullying and early church hurt to launching a ministry dedicated to helping others heal. What began as a mess became a mission—and now a ministry impacting lives across the nation.

In this episode, we are:

✔️ Unboxing the roots of church hurt

✔️ Unboxing the role of offense, division, and accountability

✔️ Unboxing practical steps toward healing and restoration

✔️ Unboxing how God transforms pain into purpose

You will also hear how safe, trusted relationships—small, intentional communities—can become the foundation for healing and spiritual growth.
