Over the last decade, the church has slowly awakened to the reality, impact, and devastation of trauma. However, there is one form of trauma that seems most elusive for the church to identify: spiritual trauma. But the difficulty in identifying it doesn’t change the painful experiences many Christians have endured under the guise of Christian leadership.
Here at Icon, we want to be a gracious, accommodating, and healing voice for those in our city who have endured such trauma. Because of that, we hosted a forum to unpack what spiritual trauma is, how to identify it in your own story, and how to begin the healing process.
This event included a two-part teaching: Part one was from Beth Broom, a Trauma Specialist LPC. Part 2 was taught by Lead Pastor, Josh Sercey. Josh and Beth then partnered to conduct an audience Q&A session.
Note: Due to copyright reasons, the first teaching by Beth Broom is available by request only. Please email [email protected] for the link to the audio recording. The following recording includes only the teaching from Joshua Sercey and then the audience Q&A.
