A Peculiar People: Faith, Church Hurt and Living What You Believe

Episode Overview

Examine who has your ear, because whatever you consistently hear will capture your heart.
Stop judging by outward appearance and take time to know people’s hearts and stories.
Let love, not finger-pointing, be the way you reach those who are hurting and backslidden.
Be more in love with Christ than with people or status, so you can love others past their faults.
Make sure your behaviour clearly represents God, both inside the sanctuary and out in everyday life.

“You can’t draw nobody who’s pointing fingers. You can’t draw nobody who’s rejecting people. You can’t draw what you’re pointing at.”

How do people find strength in their journey to sobriety and healing when church itself has sometimes been the source of pain? This sermon-style episode of *Resilient Truths* shares Dr. Theresa M Bell’s message on being “a peculiar people”, rooted in John 14:30–31, and aimed at those who want their faith to show up in everyday life. You’ll hear Dr.

Bell talk candidly about obedience, timing and calling, using Jesus’ 33 years before ministry as a warning against rushing titles and self-ordination. She stresses that “whoever has your ear has your heart”, challenging you to think about the voices you’re letting shape your desires – whether that’s music, gossip, or people who don’t genuinely care about Christ. A major thread is church hurt. Dr.

Bell points out that many stay away from church because of judgement and hypocrisy, and she calls believers to stop “bullying through the pulpit” and start loving people past their faults. Her simple but sharp reminder is that you “can’t draw what you’re pointing at”; if the goal is to reach the broken, including those wrestling with substance use and trauma, love has to lead.

She also talks about balance: being able to relate to the wider community while still clearly representing God. Through stories of her own financial struggles, imperfect appearance, and work as a therapist, she shows that scars and dents can help others feel seen, rather than disqualify anyone from ministry.

The episode closes with three home truths: glorify God by loving people’s hearts, not their flesh; be in love with Christ more than any person or thing; and let your behaviour show who you truly represent. If you’ve ever felt judged, discouraged, or unsure how faith fits with real-life mess and recovery, this message might prompt you to ask: are you ready to live as that peculiar person who loves like Christ even when it costs something?
