6.3 Healing from Church Hurt (with Mike Castelli)

Have you ever experienced conflict in your local church that resulted in hurt for you or a friend?

Then listen as Pastor Mike Castelli shares his story of how he encountered God in the midst of a season of turmoil in his local church. You'll hear the simple prayers that grounded him during a period of isolation and how trust and rest were central to his healing journey.

If you'd like to hear more about what Pastor Mike learned through this situation, you can find his sermon series "Lessons from the Pit," here.

Pastor Mike serves as the Lead Pastor at The Chapel in Green where Asheritah and her family attend. He came to The Chapel in 2000, after working as a Senior Research Engineer for 12 years at the NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio. You can connect with him through The Chapel's Facebook page and on Instagram @thechapelgreen.

Are you excited about this new season? Then text a few friends and start a Prayers of REST prayer group! It’s simple: just invite a few friends, commit to listening to the prayer episode each week, and then share with each other what God is revealing to you in prayer. Pray for each other, encourage each other, and maybe once a month try to meet together for a time of live prayer together. Why? Because we learn how to pray not by reading a book about prayer or listening to a sermon about prayer, but by actually praying together.

Until we meet again, may you find rest in God’s loving presence.
