In episode 75, Jerry Fu, a conflict resolution coach for Asian-American leaders, helps us process through the reality of tragedy -- that it will exist -- and how we might develop a healthy "theology of tragedy."  Is there a way to tread the tension between tragedy and faith?  To believe that God is good when our circumstances aren't?

Has God invited you to embrace tragedy?

Jerry is happy to offer complimentary resources and 30 minutes of coaching at his site:

In episode 74, "ya boy Troy" talks about counseling.  For most of his life, counseling wasn't an option; stigmas hit on multiple fronts, telling him "men need to be tough" and "real Christians don't need counseling."  Then a rough work situation hit in 2017 -- and echoed in 2020 -- to make him think, "...maybe God wants me to check out counseling..."  That step of obedience ended up blessing him more than he expected.

Has God brought you healing through a counseling experience?

Hear Troy and Chaka get real on "Beauty and Beard" wherever you listen to podcasts and on YouTube.

In episode 73, Dr. Rick Chromey helps us tap into an oft-neglected opportunity for healing: validation.  His journey took him from "pause for applause" to "well done, my good and faithful servant."

Whether you are longing to be recognized, or to not be misrepresented, our desire for validation -- external and internal -- can become crippling.  We talk about why we desire validation and how to find healing, all while an unexpected guest makes a cameo.

How has your desire for validation impacted your ability to trust God?

In episode 72, Phil Barth helps us tap into an area of healing that we don't take seriously: stress.  You may not have a disease or brain tumor, but all of us deal with stress.  Phil didn't take it seriously, which is why he one day in 2015 he found himself in the cardiac wing after having a heart attack.  One thing the doctor said to him stood out: "You need to lower your stress."

How might God be equipping you to take away the power stress has over you?

In episode 71, Marti Williams, co-founder of Into The Neighborhood -- a ministry and staff that authentically live out loving their neighbors -- walks us through another resource God has given us to navigate "healing": supportive community.  Through her ministry and in her day-to-day life, Marti has made space to walk alongside individuals in recovery, and along the way she discovered not just her own need for recovery, but the vital importance of humility.  We explore not just what these spaces should look like, but why they can be so hard to find, even in the Church.

How might God use supportive community to bring healing in your life?

In episode 70, Peyton Garland, author of Not So by Myself, shares her journey of church trauma leading to challenges with mental health, a hard diagnosis in a lonely season, and the moment when she shook her fist at God and discovered His messy love.  There are tremendous stigmas around mental health generally, but especially in the Church, that lead us too often to fail to reflect Christ's love.

How might God be inviting us to embrace messy love?

In episode 69, Raychel Perman and I press into the idea of "secondary trauma", when you not only experience a trauma, but are traumatized by it being ignored, dismissed, or rejected.  [Trigger warning] Raychel shares her journey of navigating domestic abuse at the hands of a husband wrestling with alcoholism, and striving to know how to seek God when things could get so painful.  We hit some hard topics that still hit even as I edited.

How can we get better at understanding the trauma that occurs behind closed doors?

Note: October is NATIONAL DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH.

Raychel Perman is an Author, Speaker, Co-Founder of RAYMA Team, LLC, and Co-Host of the She Who Overcomes™ Podcast.  You can find her latest book, "UNBROKEN a 30-day Bible Study for women" at www.unbrokenbiblestudy.com or on Amazon.

In episode 68, Rachel McCants -- an author, motivational speaker and playwright -- shares how she was pursuing her dreams and the life she wanted, until she unexpectedly passed out and learned she had a brain tumor.  As we explore her story of healing, we discover a startling truth: sometimes we reject the healing opportunity God is offering.

How can we grow in not placing conditions on our willingness to follow Christ?

In episode 67, we hear the story of Barby Ingle, who KNEW she was meant to be a cheerleader.  She trained and performed cheerleading, dance and gymnastics starting at age 4 through college, and straight out of college started her own cheer & dance training company.  She was living her dream... until a car accident left her with a rare disease and years filled with misdiagnoses, disability, and the loss of nearly everything.

What she came to learn is what God really wanted her to lose was her false understanding of her identity.  As she came to trust Him, she discovered her true identity, and that disability hadn't actually robbed her of the chance to be a cheerleader: it created an opportunity for abundantly more than she could ask or imagine.

In episode 66, Rich Lewis helps us explore the valuable practice of Centering Prayer, or meeting God in silence.  In 2014 Rich learned about this practice, and in the 7 years since he has not only found himself transformed into a different person, but discovered opportunities that he had not asked for or imagined.  Rich shares that this simple, accessible act can be a powerful step in the journey towards healing, sometimes in ways we didn't know we needed.

Rich Lewis publishes a weekly meditation, book reviews, and interviews on his site, Silence Teaches.  You can access her content here:
