Episode 124. When Church Accountability Becomes Church Bashing

Hey Mama Bears! In this episode, Hilary and Amy tackle a growing trend we’ve seen online: calling out churches in a way that crosses from accountability into straight-up bashing. One post in particular claimed that churches without special needs ministries are leading people away from God—and whew, we’ve got thoughts. We unpack the difference between genuine concerns and unfair criticism, especially when it comes to things like flashy worship, big congregations, and limited resources. Are we pointing out sin, or just style differences?

We want to explore this topic with grace, wisdom and discernment. So we invite you to ROAR through the claims made in the article we open with. With our usual dose of humor, biblical grounding, and mama bear honesty, we talk emotional maturity, grace-filled critique, and how to have real conversations that build up the Body of Christ instead of tearing it down.​


Main Points Covered

  • Why Everyone’s Suddenly Mad at the Church
  • When Critique Turns into a Tantrum
  • Calling Out vs. Tearing Down
  • Ministry Ain’t Easy—Show Some Grace!
  • Accountability or Condemnation?
  • How to Call Things Out Without Being a Jerk
  • Building a Culture of Healthy Accountability
  • Cheering for the Church While Still Being Honest
