S4 E7: Fake Pastors and Church Hurt In this thought-provoking episode of Friends Unfiltered, we dive into one of the most sensitive but necessary conversations within modern Christianity — Fake Pastors and Church Hurt. Our guest, @istanboss, opens up about real experiences navigating church hurt and the painful realization that not everyone behind the pulpit has pure intentions. Together, we explore why people fall for spiritual manipulation, share real-life scenarios, and discuss how Christians can grow in discernment to spot scammers disguised as prophets or preachers. This episode isn’t about criticism — it’s about healing, accountability, and wisdom in faith. Whether you’ve experienced church hurt or just want to understand the conversation better, this one’s for you. ✨ Join the conversation, follow, and help us grow
