Trauma leaves us with the sense that we don't belong, and that life is not supposed to be this way. Dr. Dan Allender discusses how trauma is a reflection of evil in this world, and how encountering the kindness of God leads to the redemption of our heartache. He shares how our grief and emotions are an invitation into experiencing God's kindness, and how the Lord's gentleness leads us away from trauma responses that are deepening our pain. He also guides us in understanding how doing this work in our own lives can teach us to walk well with our children as they navigate trauma alongside us.
