Hypocrisy in the Church has quietly destroyed more faith than atheism, suffering, or doubt. In this episode of Behind the Mike Podcast , Mike Stone speaks directly to anyone who has been hurt, betrayed, disappointed, or wounded by Christians, pastors, spiritual leaders, or church culture. If someone’s sin shook your faith… maybe your faith was standing on them instead of Christ. 🔥 In this message, you’ll learn: • Why hypocrisy hurts so deeply • What Jesus actually said about hypocrites • Why spiritual betrayal feels like abandonment • How to heal from church hurt • Six biblical steps to rebuild your faith • Why Christians fail—but Jesus never does Whether you've been wounded by leaders, friends, family, or the church itself… there is hope. Don’t walk away from Jesus because of someone who wasn’t acting like Him. 📖 Scripture referenced: Matthew 23, Luke 12:1, Titus 1:16, Hebrews 12:1–2 If this encourages you, please share it with someone who’s struggling. Keep seeking Truth. Keep walking by faith. Keep your eyes on Jesus. #ChurchHurt #Christianity #HypocrisyInTheChurch #Faith #BibleTeaching #BehindTheMikePodcast #mikestone CHAPTERS: 00:00 – Why Hypocrisy Is Destroying Faith 00:56 – When Christians Don’t Act Like Christ 02:10 – Why Hypocrisy Feels Like Betrayal 03:13 – What Jesus Said About Hypocrites 04:11 – Why Spiritual Hurt Cuts So Deep 05:19 – Christians Fail, But Jesus Doesn’t 06:16 – Don’t Walk Away Because of People 07:43 – Abuse, Manipulation, and Real Church Hurt 08:23 – Jesus Faced Betrayal Too 08:55 – Six Biblical Steps to Heal 09:59 – A Final Word to the Wounded 10:37 – Fixing Our Eyes on Jesus 11:47 – Final Encouragement & Closing Send us a text Support the show Watch these podcasts on YouTube !
