Ep 22. Pt2. Healing from Church-Based Wounding: When healers become sin-eaters.

This is part 2 of 2 on the topic of Foundational Sacrifice. In this episode I talk openly as a guy who sacrificed my well-being and my family's well-being in the name of church growth. I hit burnout and suffered from compassion fatigue, realising that I was taking on the sins of the people I was helping. For the first time, I publicly share about one of the key realisations I had which led to my recovery - being a sin-eater. "Historically, a sin eater was a person who would be called upon to perform a ritual that involved consuming food and drink that was believed to symbolise the sins of a recently deceased person. It was believed that by consuming the food and drink, the sin eater would take on the sins of the deceased person, and in doing so, would absolve them of their sins, allowing them to enter heaven." In sharing I hope to explain how some people with church-based wounding can end up there both voluntarily or involuntarily.
