The Pew Talks

Pew Talks - The Conversations We've Been Whispering in Church for Years
Pew Talks is not your typical church book.

This is for the people who love God... but have questions.

The people who stayed too long.

Served while broken.

Smiled while grieving.

Clapped while confused.

And sat in pews silently trying to survive spiritually, emotionally, and mentally.

Written in the raw, honest, humorous, and heartfelt voice of Karla LARRELL, Pew Talks feels like a late-night conversation after service with somebody who actually gets it.

Inside this book, we talk about:

• Church hurt without abandoning God
• Burnout from constantly serving
• Why some people quietly leave church
• Healing from toxic religious culture
• Boundaries, purpose, leadership, and identity
• The pressure of being "strong"
• Learning how to hear God for yourself
• Loving the Church while still acknowledging its flaws

This ebook blends:

Real testimony

Biblical truth

Humor and honesty

Deep reflection questions

Healing-centered conversations

Black church culture references that feel like home

Whether you're a church kid, worship leader, preacher's child, exhausted volunteer, questioning believer, or somebody trying to reconnect with God outside of performance culture... this book was written with you in mind.

You are not crazy for asking questions.

You are not rebellious for needing healing.

And you are not alone.

Welcome to the conversation nobody wanted to have out loud.
