What happens if we don’t deal with our church pain? 💭

Unhealed church hurt shapes how we see God, ourselves, and others. It can distort identity, damage trust, and even affect how we lead.

But there’s hope—real healing and freedom through forgiveness and the Holy Spirit.

In this episode of Language of the Spirit, Andrew shares powerful stories of transformation—how one woman is finding intimacy with God before she passes, and how leaders can break the cycle of pain that repeats in ministry.

If we don’t let Jesus touch those wounds, we risk leading from reaction instead of revelation. But when we invite Him into our pain, restoration, grace, and Kingdom freedom flow. 🌿

✨ Key themes:

Church pain, church hurt, healing, forgiveness, leadership, Holy Spirit, restoration, identity, intimacy with God, freedom, transformation, Kingdom, community, grace, rejection, control.

You’ve been hurt by church, struggle to trust again, or want to lead from a healed heart—not from pain.

🕊️ “I will not repeat what hurt me. I will reflect the One who healed me.”

💬 Let’s talk: Have you ever struggled to trust church leaders again? How did God begin healing that area for you?

🔥 Ever felt like you’re striving to “be more like Jesus” but still feel disconnected? In John 15, Jesus says He is the vine and we are the branches. That changes everything. When you abide in Christ, obedience from love becomes natural—not forced. Your royal identity isn’t earned; it’s received. The Holy Spirit flows like sap through the vine and branches, and a lifestyle of discipleship emerges from rest, not pressure. ✨

📖 What’s Inside

In this episode, we mix healing testimonies and real street encounters with a deep dive into John 15. We share prophetic words, take risk and faith steps in Twickenham, and see God move in surprising ways—even praying for a fisherman who caught a fish right after prayer! These healing testimonies remind us that when we abide in Christ, fruit flows naturally.

🌿 The Core Idea

Branches don’t strain to produce fruit—they stay connected. When you live from your royal identity as one grafted in, the Holy Spirit supplies life. Obedience from love grows organically, and kingdom culture becomes real through everyday acts of discipleship.

🚶‍♂️ Street Snapshots

We prayed for backs, encouraged strangers, and saw how love lands even when prophetic words don’t hit perfectly. That’s the rhythm of risk and faith: try, learn, love, repeat. Remaining in the vine and branches keeps us soft to the Holy Spirit, grounded in our royal identity, and ready to see fruit appear as obedience from love.

✅ Takeaways

Re-read John 15 and ask: “Where am I striving instead of choosing to abide in Christ?” Declare: “I’m grafted in; the Holy Spirit supplies my life.” Step out with prophetic words and document healing testimonies. Take one risk and faith step each day to build kingdom culture through real discipleship.
