The Wounds Of The Faithful

Derick is mixed and growing up in the south, he saw hate from both sides but used it as fuel along with the dark upbringing in a home of alcoholism and rage. Derick used fitness as an escape and quickly was able to stay calm in most moments people would break down or snap. He used these experiences to thrive in the US Army along with his coaching career. Derick healed himself and teaches others how to do the same.

Derick Johnson

[00:00:00] Welcome to the Wounds of the Faithful podcast, brought to you by DSW Ministries. Your host is singer, songwriter, speaker, and domestic violence advocate, Diana Winkler. She is passionate about helping survivors in the church heal from domestic violence and abuse and trauma. This podcast is not a substitute for professional counseling or qualified medical help.

[00:00:26] Now, here is Diana.

[00:00:33] Hello everybody, friends. Welcome back. Thank you for being here, and we have a great show for you. And you think, Diana, you say that every week. Well, I have the best guests on my show, and that's not an exception this week either. We have Derick Johnson on the show.

Many survivors suffer unspeakable abuse in their childhood and never tell another soul about it. It is very common to not have the words to even describe what happened to their bodies, their minds, and emotions. My guest Mark McNear is here to talk about his book Finding My Words: A Ruthless Commitment to Healing Gently After Trauma. Mark candidly talks about his painful childhood, the long term fallout from the abuse, what was it like going through rehab, and finding the words and the courage to tell his story. Join us for a powerful testimony of freedom in Christ!

DR. MARK M. MCNEAR BIO

Dr. Mark M. McNear is a Licensed Psychotherapist who has over thirty years of experience in clinical work through his private practice in New Jersey. He is a graduate of Northeastern Bible College, New York University, and Oxford Graduate School. Dr. McNear specializes in helping people who have experienced trauma in their life, as well as the maladaptive behaviors that spring forth from their woundedness. Yet, Dr. McNear doesn’t approach his clientele purely from a clinical perspective but as someone who also has experienced severe trauma in his life and the healing power found in Christ. In his recent memoir, Finding My Words: A Ruthless Commitment to Healing Gently after Trauma, Dr. McNear reveals he suffered a traumatic and abusive childhood. He suffered sexual abuse and physical abuse starting at the age of four and was repeatedly told he was stupid, a fool, and trash. Dr. McNear hid these abuses deep in his heart for many years – until they caught up with him.

Today, Dr. McNear seeks to help others find the freedom and healing in Christ that he himself received once he faced his own traumatic past.

In addition to his private practice, Dr. McNear has been a speaker to audiences nationwide. He has also been a frequent guest on nationally syndicated radio broadcasts, podcasts, authored articles, and Op-eds, and been a co-host panelist for a video series dealing with Christianity and Mental Health.

“Mark’s experience is my experience. Though my childhood trauma and abuse left me with a lifetime of scars, it also did something else. It brought me to the God who loves me. And that changed my life and brought healing beyond measure. Whatever you’re going through, God has seen others, like Mark and I, through similar trauma to show you that if God can do it for them, he can do it now, for you.”

-- Josh McDowell

“It has been said that if we don’t transform our pain, we will certainly transmit it. Mark McNear shows us in this wonderful book that the opposite is also true: if we do transform our pain, we can pass on healing, wisdom, and grace to others. McNear, a professional helper, turns his pen on the pain, complexity, and beauty of his own story in a way that will capture your heart. He speaks with deep honesty about his trauma, but also about his recovery by the grace of God. Whether you are attempting to face your own trauma story or help someone around you do the same, I believe Mark’s story will be a gift and an encouragement to you.”

— Nick Stumbo, Executive Director, Pure Desire Ministries, Troutdale, OR

By affiliating with Praline's Backyard Foundation, these facilities can actively contribute to breaking the barriers that survivors face when seeking safety for themselves and their beloved pets. Being a part of our network not only gives boarding facilities the opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of survivors and their pets but also helps raise awareness about the critical issue of domestic violence.

Reconstruction Part Two

[00:00:00]

[00:00:33] Welcome back to the podcast. Thank you for being here. And last week we talked about reconstructing our faith. After trauma or abuse and we're going to continue to talk about that today. There's lots more tips that I have for you personal experiences and Hopefully this ability.

[00:00:58] Hopefully this will be helpful to you[00:01:00] and we're going to Skip any housekeeping things today. I don't really have anything to share with you

[00:01:07] Let's get into our show.

[00:01:10] We are gonna review, what is Reconstruction? You're starting at ground zero after leaving an abusive situation or trauma and you're trying to figure out What you believe. Is this a belief that my parents gave me? Is this faith my own faith? Was These belief systems that I had Were they my own choice, or did somebody make me adopt these things out of coercion?

[00:01:45] And I've shared my testimony many times, that I chose my faith. I was raised Catholic, but I, um, was led to the Lord by my Baptist cousins. [00:02:00] And it was presented to me, and I chose. To accept that, I believed it to be true. It is not the belief system of my parents or my siblings, but I sincerely chose it for myself.

[00:02:16] I was not coerced into it. And, and I still have that faith in the Lord through thick and thin, through trauma and trials. So that is one of the questions that you have to answer for yourself. You have to go back and think, okay, is this a belief of my parents or is it my belief? Is this the belief of my husband or is it my belief?

[00:02:38] Do I sincerely believe this to be true? Now, some of you that have been listening for a long time, you know my husband and I have some differing beliefs. I won't get into that, but I stand very firmly in my beliefs, my doctrines,

How do you pick up the pieces of your faith when the dust clears from your trauma? What do I believe on my own? What are the pitfalls to look out for during this journey? How do I discover the truth about God for myself? These questions and more in this two part series. Join me!

reconstruction

[00:00:00]

[00:00:33] Hello beautiful people, thank you for coming back to the podcast this week. We are talking about Reconstruction. What is that? Last week we talked about Deconstruction which was pretty much

[00:00:50] After your abuse you decide I'm not gonna have anything to do with God or Christians or church [00:01:00] prayer or the Bible In some form or fashion, you may still have some semblance of faith or belief or belief in God in general, but you don't know what to do in the aftermath of your abuse. We talked about a lot of different topics as to why people choose to not believe in God or not continue in their faith.

[00:01:28] We talked about sin, we talked about hell, women's issues, sucky churches, we talked about evolution and creationism, we talked about genocide, a few other topics that we went over, and you may not have agreed with me on those. That's okay. We are all on this journey together, and we all have to make our own decisions about what's right for us and our family before the Lord.

[00:01:58] So this week we're [00:02:00] going to do Reconstruction, which is simply, you're starting from zero. You have no idea what you believe,

[00:02:10] and you are searching for those answers. And it might take you a long time to search to find those answers. But

[00:02:19] As long as you're going forward, that's the important part. So, uh, one housekeeping thing before we get started on my list here is, remember the Stitcher platform. If you're listening on Stitcher, they are going to cease to exist at the end of August. So, Be sure to find another platform to listen on before that time, because they are not going to be playing any more podcasts.

[00:02:48] And as far as this podcast goes, I am on all of the major platforms, Apple Podcasts, Spotify,

We're back with the second part of our discussion about deconstruction. We have even more topics to discuss as to the reason for abandoning the faith after trauma or abuse. This episode seeks to encourage you and be thought provoking at the same time. Join us for an important conversation.

Transript: Deconstruction Part Two

[00:00:00] Welcome to the Wounds of the Faithful podcast, brought to you by DSW Ministries. Your host is singer, songwriter, speaker, and domestic violence advocate, Diana Winkler. She is passionate about helping survivors in the church heal from domestic violence and abuse and trauma. This podcast is not a substitute for professional counseling or qualified medical help.

[00:00:26] Now, here is Diana.

[00:00:33] ​

[00:00:33] Diana: Welcome back folks to the Wounds of the Faithful podcast, we are continuing our study on deconstruction. Now, I'm not going to review any of it because It's a lot. It was a lot to go [00:01:00] through. I am going to just jump in to where we left off. Basically, deconstruction is when you've gone through trauma or abuse and you decide that you do not want to go to church anymore.

[00:01:20] Diana: You don't want to pray anymore. You don't want to read your Bible anymore. You don't want to be around Christians. You don't want anything to do with God or religion. And so we've been talking about that. I need you to listen to the first episode to continue on with this one, because you'll miss out on a lot of important things that we've talked about.

[00:01:46] Diana: And we're going to talk about some more stuff today. So I'm not going to get into any housekeeping for today. We're just going to jump right into our podcast. [00:02:00] Deconstruction. And then next week we're going to do reconstruction. How to build back up your faith after how to examine what you believe to reconstruct your faith and your belief system, probably a more healthy belief system than where you came from. So let's get on with the show. Let's jump in to our topic today.

[00:02:34] Diana: Where were we on my list? Okay,

We're talking about deconstruction, what it is and why survivors choose to go down that road. We discuss many reasons that people give for abandoning their faith or turning their backs on God altogether. We'll be exploring in a non judgmental, compassionate way, so join me for an encouraging episode. This is Part One of a Two Part series.

Deconstruction Part One

[00:00:00]

[00:00:33] Diana: hello everybody! Summer time and the living is easy. Not so easy here in Arizona. You may have heard on the news about the extreme heat, and yes, Arizona is one of them for two weeks now. Now it does get to 119 every year, [00:01:00] sometimes 120. Probably the highest ever, let's see when I was in high school it was 122 degrees, and that has not been the highest record. If you go to Death Valley or Lake Havasu we've got they get into 130 degrees.

[00:01:25] Diana: Staying inside in the air conditioning, going to the neighbor's pool. And I have to get up very early in the morning to do the yard work. So, speaking of yard work, we have what's called in Arizona, monsoon season. That's pretty much our tropical storm season. And you don't think that Arizona has humidity?

[00:01:51] Diana: This is when we have humidity. Is during our tropical storm season. And we just had a [00:02:00] huge storm on Wednesday and looking out the window it was like watching a hurricane. I kid you not, it was raining, the wind was so strong I wasn't sure about my trees. The next morning we had a couple power outages but the power came on when I was getting ready for work.

[00:02:24] Diana: Thankfully. And we had a bent flagpole in our front yard. I think that was the worst that we had. A lot of stuff was all over the backyard. We had to pick up. But we got off easy.

[00:02:42] Diana: My neighbor who I go swimming with. Who has fed me during my hospitalization, recovery. Her entire east wall is gone. And she isn't the only one. There's [00:03:00] countless people along the main road here that lost their back wall that faces the street. And there's some retention ponds also that have huge eucalyptus ...

Can a counselor help me in my situation? What are the qualifications to be a licensed professional counselor? What is the difference between a psychiatrist and a psychologist? My guest this week is Johnny Sanders, a Christian counselor, who answers these questions and more when seeking counsel. What should I look for when choosing a counselor, and what are the red flags? What if I don't like my counselor? Johnny is very good at explaining these topics in an easy going, pleasant manner. You will learn a lot along the way during this enjoyable conversation!
