030 Trauma in the Pews (with Janyne McConnaughey)

Does a seemingly robust spirituality actually mask deep childhood wounds?  Can calls to repentance and forgiveness cause harm instead of healing?  Does the message of the cross sometimes cause more bondage than breakthrough?

These are the type of questions we need to ask as more and more people grapple with their own trauma and how the church can be a place of healing and hope, rather than deeper harm. 

Joining today is Janyne McConnaughey, Ph.D., nationally known trauma-informed author & advocate.  She is currently a Distinguished Visiting Professor at Tabor College and serves as the Board President for the Attachment& Trauma Network (ATN).
