When the church is broken, where do you find Jesus?
Finding Jesus in the Broken Church offers a new path for those of us who are struggling with harm, betrayal, and disillusionment with the Church. We don’t have to either stay quiet or walk away. There is a third path: a sacred journey where our faith is reforged.
Drawing on more than a decade in the trenches of victim care and her own survival of harm done in God’s name, Katie Leigh will walk with you through the confusion. She offers no empty clichés or quick Band-Aids for profuse bleeding. Nor will she recount scandals or headlines.
Instead, she will provide clarity and a path forward. Whether we’re still in the pew, worshiping alone at home, long gone from the Church, or a leader lying awake asking How did we get here? This book is an invitation for us all to find Jesus amid the brokenness of the church and life.
Responding to harm is not a departure from our faith — it is a return to the heart of Jesus.
It isn’t a deconstruction that takes faith apart and leaves it in pieces.
It’s a reforging, where faith is tested, refined, and more deeply rooted than before.
It isn’t a book of empty clichés or quick fixes for profuse wounds.
It’s an honest companion that gives language to the struggle you’ve been feeling.
It isn’t a demand to choose between staying silent and walking away.
It’s a third path, where you can be honest about harm and still hold on to Jesus.
It isn’t written only for those who stayed, or only for those who left.
It’s an invitation for everyone: in the pew, at home, long gone, or asking questions.
