Please Don't Make Me Fall: Healed by His Grace When Church Hurt
There are wounds that don’t come from the world.
They come from the Church.
Please Don’t Make Me Fall is a bold, unfiltered, and deeply necessary book that confronts one of the most silenced realities in the Body of Christ—church hurt caused by those entrusted to shepherd God’s people.
Through raw testimony and uncompromising biblical truth, Katina Shoni Freeman exposes the devastating impact of spiritual abuse, control, betrayal, and manipulation operating within church leadership. From being cast out of two churches to enduring broken relationships and spiritual trauma,this book does not shy away from what many have experienced but few have dared to say.
What happens when the place that should heal you ends up hurting you? For me, it was church hurt—rejection, shame, and betrayal that pushed me to the well. And there, in the middle of my brokenness, I met Goel—my Redeemer.
This 21-day devotional is for anyone who’s ever felt rejected, silenced, or unworthy. It’s for those carrying hidden pain from the past or wounds from the church. In these pages, you’ll find guided prompts, scripture, and prayer to help you uncover shame and walk in freedom.
You may come covered in guilt and pain, but you’ll leave uncovered, unashamed, and redeemed.
Mom, Author, Podcast Host, UnCovered Founder, Bible Teacher and Kingdom Living Strategist Katina Shoni Freeman, is a highly motivated and purpose driven entrepreneur who discovered how to take life's most painful lessons and use them for purpose. Rejection was the theme of her life's story for years until God allowed her to be kicked out of church, not once but twice...back to back. It was through the most trying times in her life that she came to know and understand the depth of Jesus' love for her. It was through church hurt that she learned to forgive, to heal and to love those whom had hurt her the deepest. Parental rejection, parenting challenges, domestic abuse, a marriage that ended in divorce, financial loss and homelessness are a few of the obstacles that she has overcome.
Her passion is to teach other women to discover their identity through the Scriptures, to break free of generational curses and to level up in every area of their lives.
Her teachings are designed to encourage, empower, equip and enlighten her readers and listeners so that they are edified in the Word.
Her assignment is to be a catalyst for transformation, reformation and reconciliation to the Church, to go to the highways and hedges and compel those who have been offended by ministry leaders to return to the God who loves them.
Katina teaches a weekly Bible Study to women across the U.S. Her unorthodox way of teaching the Scripture combined with her personal testimony draws women to seek her for direction and counsel. Her witty personality and awareness of all that God has redeemed her of makes her relatable to women of all walks of life.
