Navigate the painful reality of church hurt and discover the transformative path to healing in this vulnerable episode of Battle Drill Daily Devotional.

#ChurchUnity #ChristianCommunity #ChurchHurt #BiblicalEncouragement #ChurchBelonging

Through a leader's public humiliation that nearly drove him from faith forever, learn why church wounds cut deepest and how biblical confrontation can lead to unexpected restoration.

This episode boldly addresses what many churches ignore – that believers wound each other, leaders fail, and church can sometimes feel more dangerous than the world. Matthew 18:15 provides Jesus's radical prescription for handling conflict, while the Paul and Barnabas split demonstrates that even spiritual giants disagree. Discover why unity isn't the absence of conflict but choosing to work through conflict in love.

From the terrifying coffee conversation that led to tearful reconciliation to practical strategies for confronting in love, learn why leaving church isn't the answer – staying well is. Perfect for anyone carrying church wounds or wondering if Christian community is worth the risk.

Scripture Reference: Matthew 18:15, Acts 15:36-41

Discover the radical church growth strategy that built the early church and still transforms communities today in this game-changing episode of Battle Drill Daily Devotional.

#ChurchUnity #ChristianCommunity #ChurchHurt #BiblicalEncouragement #ChurchBelonging

While churches invest millions in programmes and presentations, learn why genuine love remains the only growth strategy that actually works.

Through powerful contrasts between empty state-of-the-art buildings and packed leaky halls, this episode exposes how we've professionalised love into committees and rotas, losing the magnetic authenticity that draws broken people. John 13:35 and Acts 4:32-34 reveal how the early church's explosive growth came not from clever marketing but from love so radical it shared everything – possessions, homes, lives.

From the heartbreaking story of an elderly woman eating Sunday lunch alone despite attending church for months to a small congregation bursting at the seams through genuine care, discover why people can spot the difference between religious duty and real love from miles away. Essential for church leaders and members wondering why their community isn't growing.

Scripture Reference: John 13:35, Acts 4:32-34, 1 John 3:18

Ready to trade religious politeness for magnetic love? Listen now and learn why costly love solves church growth naturally. Share with your church leadership team.
