In 605 BC, an Old Testament warrior experienced some intense trauma. Over the span of his life, he was captured, relocated, renamed, indoctrinated, and threatened with violent death. He could have been bitter about his captivity, angry about his sentence, livid about his separation from home, but instead, he determined to live a life set apart--even in the midst of total cultural indoctrination. As a result, those around him had the courage they needed to stand firm on the battle lines. Not only did God meet them in the fiery furnace, but they escaped the heat without compromise in their heart of the smell of smoke on their bodies. The same can be true for us. Join Dr. Lisa Dunne as we explore the neural and sociological pathways that lead us bravely through the darkened hallways of trauma and on to truth, courage, and consecration.

From fatherlessness to false narratives to chronic stress, our nation is experiencing significant trauma during this season of history. We can find hope and healing both as individuals and a collective whole by understanding our biochemical design, our internal wiring for secure attachments and healing through the connectivity of healthy relationships. When we look at the human body and brain under the microscope, we discover a biological compass, internal cues that can create a path to freedom, to wholeness, to healing. And the more we understand our own core, the more we understand our callings and capabilities, our freedoms and our frailties. Join Dr. Lisa Dunne as she continues last week's discussion on patterns of systemic trauma, and discover some practical tools for moving from labels to liberation.

How does our education shape our communication, our beliefs, our behavior? One of the most powerful systems of modern socialization is the K to college school system. In the US educational sector, about 56 millions students attend public schools each year with another 5.6 million in private schools and another 2 million in homeschools (pre-COVID homeschooling). How important is education to our beliefs, our behavior, and the future of our nation? Join Dr. Lisa Dunne for this week's Communication Architect to find out how you can be a force for positive change in your realm of influence.

Our social surroundings dramatically influence our paradigms. From our early childhood experiences to our educational systems to our social relationships, our brains are shaped to make automatic decisions on the paradigms we've adopted over the course of our lives. Will we seek vengeance or forgiveness? Will we seek division or unity? These responses, these actions, stem largely from beliefs we have absorbed from the context, culture, and cohort in which we are immersed. Our beliefs determine our behavior; thus, if we want to act wisely into those decisions, we need to become intentional about our strategic communication, both internal and external. How do we make a determination to step across that line and renew our minds? Find out on this week's episode of The Communication Architect!

Have you ever felt a little defensive about something someone said or did, and then the more you thought about it, the more you felt a wall being formed, brick by brick, between you and the other person? We all have moments where we feel isolated, frustrated, or caught off guard by someone's words or actions. At times, these events can feel like momentary glitches in our sense of self, but other times, they can be full-scale identity earthquakes that cause us to question the very core of who we are. How we respond to these moments can give us a glimpse into our social influences, our personal paradigms, and the unseen factors that drive our beliefs and our behavior. Our offenses can illuminate our allegiances. This week, in the second episode of the Mindset Matters series, Dr. Dunne will equip you with the tools you need to rise above faulty mindsets, deal with offenses, and communicate hope to those in your realm of influence.
