Trust after church hurt
Leaders mishandled me. I still believe in Jesus. Walking into a church building is hard. How did you heal without going cynical?

Before / how I met Jesus / what's changing. Keep it under a few minutes. Centre Him, not the drama of your past. Practice once with a friend.

Show up. Listen more than you talk. Practical help. Quiet Scripture prayer. Don't explain their suffering. Presence is often the most Christlike thing.

Conviction is usually specific and hopeful — it pulls you toward Christ. Condemnation is vague, crushing, isolating. Sounds like the accuser. Take both to the cross and to trusted counsel.
