In this episode, Sam shares how he went from a loving, devoted husband and father to an angry, dark, depressed man. Questioning everything he knew about the church, everything he had given himself to as a pastor while trying to drive out the darkness he was experiencing, challenged Sam in a way he had never been before. His journey begins here. _________________________________ Welcome to THE CHURCH IS BROKEN podcast. Join Sam Neider, a former pastor, on his journey of enlightenment as he shares his story of walking through darkness and despair to lay hold of the LIGHT that he could not find in 30 years of seeking, searching, and serving in the church. Sam exposes why the church is broken and how the misaimed, man-made system fails at bringing light into the world and at producing transformation in the lives of the believers. Sam will empower you, the listener, with the good news of living the KINGDOM LIFE, based on the TRUTH of what Jesus really taught and commissioned us to do - the TRUTH that has been veiled by the broken system of the church.
