S2E14 Finding the Father's Love: The Power of One Adult in Trauma Recovery

Friends,
In this episode, I reflect on my Lenten journey with the KNOWN program and my quest to have a deeper relationship with The Father. I talk about the findings of the Adverse Childhood Experiences Study that emphasize the impact one caring adult can have on the future outcomes for children in trauma.  I tell about my uncle Isaac John Michaels, who represents the love of the Father that I so needed as a young child exposed to domestic violence. I pay tribute to him by reading an excerpt from my book, With You Always, A Journey with Jesus titled, Tending the Garden. I conclude with words of encouragement from scripture and a request to share the story of your one adult

S2E9 Trauma Reenactment, Sin and Redemption

*Content Warning* This episode contains content not suitable for minors and may activate traumatic memories. 
Friends, 
In this episode, I make distinctions between sexual sin and trauma reenactment as a result of early childhood sexual abuse. I address feelings of shame and use examples from my story to demonstrate how beliefs about sin can keep us trapped in self-condemnation and prevent healing. I share personal insights about agency within mental illness, self-forgiveness, and the healing presence of the Father.
