In this episode, I have the pleasure of speaking with Bethany Wade, a cottage parent at Connie Maxwell Children Ministries. Bethany brings invaluable boots-on-the-ground experience in effectively supporting children who have endured trauma. This episode covers a wide range of compelling topics, including navigating life alongside both children and adults who have experienced trauma, exploring reasons why some individuals may be hesitant to attend church, examining how Jesus would minister to those who are hurting, and discussing the role of the church in offering support to individuals struggling with gender identity. Additionally, I'll be sharing some spicy hot takes of my own. Whether you're a parent, teacher, church member or simply seeking more information on these important subjects, this podcast is a must-listen.
