Church-Centric Bible Translation 

Church-Centric Bible Translation (CCBT) is a paradigm of Bible translation focussed on the establishing and strengthening of the church using a translation process that is led by leaders of the church and done by Christian 'believers' translating into their own language, as an integral part of their theological and spiritual formation.

CCBT provides the Church with unrestricted freedom to use the highest standard of biblical resources and technology to create, check and publish their translations. CCBT overcomes the licensing obstacle by open-licensing everything that the global church needs (e.g., content, tools, and training.) It overcomes the language obstacle by providing open-licensed resources in all the Gateway Languages so that the church in every language can use the resources through a major language they understand. All content found on the CCBT website is open-licensed (CC-BY-SA).
Five Bible stories have been translated into one of the 120 minority Chadian languages using the church-centric Bible translation model.

church hurt 

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.

Huge. Surpassing normal expectations.
I was fishing with a Spinner Bait and a HONKIN pike came after it and hit it . Felt like a lawnmower running over a brick.
