About this listen
In this episode of Faith Rehab, we sit down with our producer CJ Mateo as he shares his story of growing up as a third-generation pastor’s kid—and how that shaped his view of church, leadership, and faith.
From church planting and busy ministry life to seeing behind the scenes of how church really works, CJ opens up about how the “magic” of church slowly faded and was replaced with frustration, unrealistic expectations, and subtle church hurt.
But this isn’t just a story about disappointment—it’s about perspective.
If you’ve ever wrestled with church hurt, disappointment, or questions about leadership—this one’s for you.
Faith Rehab is a podcast about church hurt, healing, and rebuilding faith.
We create a safe space for honest conversations about spiritual disappointment, doubt, and the process of finding hope again—without pretending or having all the answers.
Co-hosts: Steve McNitt, Heidi Brandt & CJ Mateo
