Suffering and emotional trauma are prevalent across the world; you can find it in every community in many different forms. No one can live a life without ever being emotionally wounded and having a crisis. It has been this way for centuries. It is part of being human and our spiritual growth but nowadays we can work toward healing trauma, witness deeply wounded people being profoundly transformed and made free from their suffering.
How can we embark on this journey of healing and integrate psychology and faith to grow in Christ, recover from our past wounds and have a victorious life?
In this session, we will explore trauma and life crisis from several dimensions:
- Finding healing through faith: individual and collective trauma; a personal testimony from Ukraine
- Understanding trauma: types of traumas and their impact on our life, relationships and well-being
- Exploration of Biblical examples of trauma (e.g. Job, David, Jesus in Gethsemane)
- Finding God amidst crisis:
God as a compassionate Father (Psalm 103:13),
Jesus as the ultimate healer (Isaiah 53:5),
the Holy Spirit as our comforter and advocate (John 14:26)
- Practical steps for healing: prayer and meditation, scripture reading, community support and fellowship, professional help, and forgiveness
Understanding the nature of trauma and how the enemy can use it against us can help you heal your heart, transform your life, let go of the past pain to have a more fulfilling and blessed future.
We can learn how to grow our faith through crises and be encouraged knowing that Jesus Himself experienced deep suffering during His time on earth and can relate to our pain. Therefore, we don’t have to go through difficult times alone and should cherish the hope for restoration and renewal.
Trauma healing has an eternal impact on families, communities, and churches, and we cordially invite you to become part of this journey.
