A book by Servant Zero
CHURCH HURT,
NOW WHAT?
I didn't leave church because I stopped believing in God.
I left because staying was slowly turning me into someone I didn't recognize.
I Didn't Leave Church
I left an abusive one. And I found a healthy one.
I still believe in being under leadership. I still believe in obedience. I still believe in having a pastor.
I just couldn't continue to be abused.
This book won't tell you to abandon church.
It will help you untangle what happened — and find your way to healthy community.
This book is for you if...
You've sat in services wondering why faith feels more like fear than freedom.
You've questioned whether the problem was you — your lack of surrender, your pride, your inability to just trust and obey.
You've watched your relationship with God become tangled up with anxiety, guilt, and the constant sense that you're never doing enough.
You've left an unhealthy church — or you're thinking about leaving — and you don't know what a healthy church even looks like.
What's Inside
Naming What Happened
When fear learned to sound like God. When obedience became control. Why you thought it was your fault.
Understanding the Cost
What it did to your body, your family, your sense of self. Why silence didn't heal you.
Beginning to Heal
Separating God from the system. Rereading Scripture safely. Learning to pray without performing.
Moving Forward
Boundaries that aren't rebellion. Forgiveness that isn't forced. Faith that is finally yours.
Support the Mission
This book represents years of processing, healing, and learning to articulate what so many have felt but couldn't name.
When you purchase this book, you're not just getting a resource for your own healing — you're helping fund a ministry dedicated to walking with the spiritually wounded.
Available on Amazon in digital and print formats.

"I don't believe my pastor intended to harm me. But intention does not erase impact — and silence does not heal it."
— From the book
You're Not Alone
This book is part of a larger ecosystem designed to help you heal — at your own pace, in your own way.
