May 08, 2023 Deep Light (BONUS EPISODE) - Trauma: What it is and how to help? (Season 3 - Episode 10)
About the Episode:
We wanted to air this bonus episode focusing on trauma in light of the recent tragedies and parents discussing these with their children. Dr. Cristina Savadjian describes what trauma is and how it can present in both children and adults. She addresses parents that have a child going through trauma. Specifically, she talks about shootings at schools, as this was recorded on the heels of the Nashville Covenant School shooting. Validation through understanding can be helpful for the child processing emotions. She shares how adults need to take care of themselves and the importance of seeing where unhealthy coping mechanisms might creep in. She brings in lots of experience and expertise as a trained counselor to discuss all aspects of trauma.

April 19, 2023 Deep Light - Idols of the Heart for Women (Season 3 - Episode 7)
About the Episode:
Hear women share the pressure they face this side of heaven about how they should look but ultimately how image is a heart issue. We long to honor the Lord with our bodies as believers. On this side of heaven, beauty is insatiable and will never be enough. Our host describes what he calls the “i” formation. An issue leads to insecurity which leads to idols and then an irritant. Our Savior died so we could be stripped of all of these artificial insecurities and live in the security and identity of being His beloved son or daughter.

March 29, 2023 Deep Light - What is Grief? (Season 3 - Episode 6)
About the Episode:
Hear Pat talk about what grief is and how to feel encouraged yourself or walk alongside someone in any form of grief. This feeling of loss, whether it is loss of dreams, person, job, or identity, leaves people feeling unstable. Those grieving must learn to raise their hands and ask for help. That can be super scary and not something they have experienced in the past. They have typically suppressed or simply not dealt with those feelings and have some very entrenched coping ways as to how they do that. They also must realize they need a “team.” It is not that they have one person on the journey with them, but several serving in different roles. People need others to empathize and come alongside them. The grieving person needs to know you are there and that they are not a burden. Hear how we as believers can come alongside those grieving.
If you are struggling with grief or the pain of loss, please don’t hesitate to reach out to [email protected] or 214-224-2500.
