When you walk into a store, and gasp at a new shirt, pants, or toy you absolutely love. Most of the time these gasps resemble something you might hear on HBO late night or your neighbors prized collection of porn DVDs.

church hurt is where you experience a degree of distance, pain, or judgement from your church community. Essentially, you are just unable to “find your place”. This is prevalent in the Christian community, but can be extended to other religions.
Now that I am an adult I am beginning to heal from the church hurt that was inflicted on me as a child.
