How can our ministries become safe places of healing for those who've experienced church hurt? In this week's conversation on FrontStage BackStage, host Jason Daye is joined by Joe Dobbins. Joe is the lead pastor of Twin Rivers Church in St Louis, Missouri. Joe regularly contributes to the work of the greater church by providing resources, strategic thinking, and serving on a number of ministry boards. His most recent book is entitled Hope After Church Hurt. Together, Joe and Jason explore, from a very pro-church perspective, the current reality of church hurt that many have experienced from churches and from ministry leaders. Joe provides an incredible heart posture and a very practical approach to helping our ministries become places where those who have been wounded can find healing and hope.

Some key takeaways from this conversation:
Joe Dobbins on the importance of personalized care, empathy, and respect for individual experiences: "Each person's hurt is unique, and the path forward is unique as well."
Joe Dobbins on the significance for churches to cultivate an environment where healing is not merely an abstract idea, but a tangible and accessible experience for everyone: "We serve a healing God, yet many times people go unhealed in our local churches."
Joe Dobbins on the importance of finding purpose through the challenges we face: "That's what healing looks like. It's when we don't just stop the pain, but we find purpose out of it."
