Meagan Good Says Publishing Book " The Wait" Forced Her Back Into Church after church criticism.
After Good married her Hollywood producer and minister husband DeVon Franklin in 2012, she admits that the criticism she received from some Christians deterred her from going to church for some time.
“The first couple of years that I got married I really struggled with a lot of the things that were going on with some Christians as it pertains to the opinions they had about me,” the actress told The Christian Post. “It didn’t take me away from God, it brought me closer to God actually. But it definitely took me out of the church.”
As a Bible-believing follower of Jesus Christ, Good was disheartened to learn that much of the criticism she received from fellow believers was the opposite of loving.
“At that time it was very challenging for me to go into churches. I felt betrayed,” she revealed. “I felt so hurt by people I felt were supposed to love on me, have this unconditional love and really teach me in love. Whether I agree or not, applying it or not I believe in fighting for each other regardless.”
Despite her grievances with going to church, Good found herself back into places of worship when she was promoting her book, which she co-authored with her husband.
“The book really brought me back to the church. I had no choice,” she admitted. “I was promoting the book and a lot of that took place in churches. What happened was I gained so much healing and I had so much love.”
