This week on Where the Rubber Meets the Road, Pastor Rile Baucom, Preacher Tony Baucom, Phillip Bowers, and Chris Tucker pick up where last episode left off and dig into a big reason so many people never get plugged into the church: they’ve been church hurt. The guys get vulnerable about their own stories, including Tony’s six-year season of carrying resentment toward someone he felt let him down, only to realize later that he had to own his part of it too. They talk honestly about how most church hurt isn’t intentional, how a wounded spirit will quietly steal someone’s worship and keep them sitting on the sidelines, and why running from the person who hurt you is the wrong move — going to them humbly, even when it’s hard, is where real healing starts. Rile shares a powerful story about a visitor from another church who found healing right in the middle of communion. The conversation lands on a clear charge: the church needs every person, hurting or not, to be part of the body, and the first step toward healing is getting it out instead of holding it in.
