What do you do when a spiritual conversation blows up because of deep pain and past church trauma? In this episode, we talk about an evangelism moment that went completely sideways, an angry reaction, a painful story of abuse, and the feeling of total failure. But God wasn’t done. Discover how to respond with compassion, how to keep relationships open, and why God is responsible for the results, not us. This story will encourage anyone sharing Jesus with hurting people.

When Trauma Shuts Down Faith Conversations

Have you ever been in a conversation with the opportunity to bring someone closer to Jesus, but you don’t know how or what to say? It can be a challenging task. It requires open ears, intentionally, and a lot of patience.&nbsp; The Reach Podcast’s goal is to equip and inspire you to share the message of Jesus more effectively. Each week, you'll hear a discussion of a conversation our guest had with a friend who is investigating Jesus. Over time, our hope is that hearing how these conversations unfold will give you the confidence to have them yourself. &nbsp; The Reach Podcast is hosted by Blaine Larsen, who serves as VP of Field Operations for Search Ministries. Blaine has been in full-time vocational ministry with Search since 2012. Prior to that, he had a career as a platinum-selling country music artist and hit songwriter in Nashville, TN. He is a graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary (MACL, 2018).&nbsp; The Reach Podcast is produced by Search Ministries, an almost 50-year old nationwide ministry committed to a relational approach to evangelism.
