The Real Reason I Stopped Going To Church.

It's crazy we're already in April. Time is flying!
I'm really hopeful about this new chapter and what that looks like for me and my family.
Here's to being transparent about the journey.
hearts,
Chelsey

church hurt is real !! I’m in the same boat

[@ChelseyMariaa]

SO SO real and this is my first time seeing it. And feeling how it really affects the way you view the body of Christ, even temporarily.

[@katrinaboucicaut734]

@@ChelseyMariaayes it was so bad for me! Took me a long time to find courage to ready the Word and pray again, that’s how I hurt I was. Now, I learned to not allow anything to get in between my relationship with God (no matter how hurt I am). I’m still praying to find a true godly community!

[@ChelseyMariaa]

@@katrinaboucicaut734 I can relate GWORL! I overstated that feeling. But the truth of it and humans will hurt you. The body of Christ is imperfect but we still persist in our pursuit of God. He knows and understands our pain and is the only one who can heal and direct us

[@joycekangda2362]

I understand where your coming from, but I think you should be more mad at the pastor/preacher for allowing themselves to turn to sin/false doctrine instead of God. Alot of false preachers eg Td jakes, myles munroe and a lot of others, were firstly righteous and sent by God to preach, then they turned to sin and prosperity preaching and that is there fault for allowing themselves to turn that way. You should fully put your trust in God instead of pastors/preachers because many of them are righteous and holy at the start then once they become huge and have a lot of admirers, they can easily turn to lust/false doctrine. Never trust a pastor/preacher to the point that you think it is impossible for them to turn to sin, because many of them sadly do.

On the behalf of everyone else, we would love to see you back here. Your wisdom and experiences are going to support so many of us🥹 only if The Lord permits ofc😂

[@ChelseyMariaa]

I'm so excited to be back consistently. My family and I hope to share our lives as a Christian family

[@michaella-evelyn]

I appreciate this transparency so much

[@ChelseyMariaa]

Thanks for watching

[@katrinaboucicaut734]

I do not reside in GA but since you’re in ATL, I’ve heard many talk about “2819 church”! They have sound doctrine (no sugar coating) and amazing community.

[@ChelseyMariaa]

We've heard about them too. Such a coincidence!! Seems to be a great church. Thank you so much

[@benvindatati]

Thanks for sharing ❤, I found your channel while I just got saved and it really helped me.

[@ChelseyMariaa]

Thanks for watching!!!

[@binajohwithney816]

I found your channel when I was 17years old and struggling with my walk with God, and I never left I am currently 21 years old I watched your videos all the time through out these years I am very happy you are back. ❤I have been searching for a church for a while it has not been easy, for many years I focused on finding a biblical church rather than focusing on my relationship with christ, I pray God helps me find a sound church while I focus on my relationship with him putting him first in all I do. Welcome back much love from Africa Cameroon ❤.

[@ChelseyMariaa]

I pray for find an amazing church home! 21 & saved, glory to God. keep pressing!

[@loralee1484]

I quit a church years ago when the pastor was having an affair with a parishioner. Not a good example! It took me several years to finally settle into a Bible teaching church. I love my church now. We are close knit and always welcoming in new people.

[@FatimaFarmer]

Hey sis! So Good to see you. Praying you find a new church home. I'm navigating something similar and feeling led to find another church.

[@itsavibe1908]

I’m currently working but for years I’ve been wondering how you are doing. Glad to see you are doing alright. Hope you make more videos. I will continue to be a subscriber ❤

[@ChelseyMariaa]

Thank you so much. I appreciate your support. I am doing great. Excited to be back on KZbin

[@jmonae22]

Thanks for sharing. I'm going through this too. I created a hash tag about it called #freeagentchurchtour. I decided to give myself permission to visit other churches that better suit me and I'm thrilled that there are so many. It just still stings the way me leaving my church has gone down. God is calling me to reconcile new and old church hurt in the process. It's hard but worth it. I have many ministry connects all around the world so if anyone needs help finding a church that is good and sound please respond to this message. We will be helping one another. Im praying about which new church to join because I know its dangerous for me to be isolated idle or stagnant. I'm a threat to the enemy so I won't let him count me out when he's already been defeated.

[@georgianalinton6616]

I'm so sorry about your experiences at your former church. I hope that you will find a forever church soon!

[@budgetwithoyo8167]

I think the over dependence of church as the way to GOD is the issue I have faced ...not having a church home has brought me closer to God because I wanted that connection with GOD for myself

[@moniqueh79]

This can happen anywhere, Sis. Keep your eyrs on Jesus and study for yourself

[@ChelseyMariaa]

Of course it can, I'm speaking specifically about experiencing the grief that comes with it. Thanks for watching
