035 Engaging Trauma as the Church's New Mission Field (with Fred Liggin)

Attaching to God: Neuroscience-informed Spiritual Formation

Is navigating the realities of trauma a (if not THE) defining context of mission and witness for the church in North America? And if so, what does that mean for pastors, leaders, and church members?
Pastor, community organizer, and contextual theologian Fred Liggin talks about creating spaces of "security, support, voice and choice" as necessary aspects of witnessing to God's kingdom come as we seek to be trauma-informed and trauma-based churches.
