    Churches Breaking Bad (Seven Signs of Sickness) -- HOW OF HURT

    Season 2 Episode 35 of the Trauma-Informed Church Kid podcast This is our final "How of Hurt" episode of the season! In this episode, we seek to examine what a trauma-sick church looks like... and what a trauma-healthy church looks like. We will discuss seven "signs of sickness", find out the good (or tov) place they come from, learn about when they "break bad" (or go ra), explore how a trauma-informed church does things differently, and discover how we can continue to reconstruct religion for the hurting with theology that doesn't hurt.

    Does God Really Like Me? (Geoff Holsclaw) -- EXPERT-TEAS

    Season 2, Episode 34 of the Trauma-Informed Church Kid podcast In this Expert-Teas episode, I sit down for "tea" with Dr. Geoff Holsclaw of the Center for Embodied Faith. We take a look at what "embodied faith" means, and explore the difference between this kind of faith and a more cognitively-oriented faith. We also examine what the process of spiritual formation looks like when we engage the entire self/soul -- body, heart, and brain -- and how that differs from a model that emphasizes "correct belief". We also explore the "landscapes of the soul", seeking to better understand our relationship to God through an attachment lens. In the end, we seek to answer one simple question: does God really like me? The answer will be surprising and strengthening! Geoff Holsclaw (PhD) is an author of multiple books, is a visiting professor of theology at Western Theological Seminary [EDIT: now at Northern Seminary] and co-founder of The Center for Embodied Faith (embodiedfaith.life). Co-author of the book Landscapes of the Soul: How the Science and Spirituality of Attachment Can Move You into Confident Faith, Courage, and Connection.

    The Curse-Breaker

    Season 2 Episode 33 of the Trauma-Informed Church Kid podcast   The family of Abraham has chosen to live with the King of the Universe in their midst, but he knows they will eventually fail to carry this blessing well. If Adonai “hands them over”, does that mean he has abandoned them? Will they ever be free of the “curse”?   This week, we take a look at the concept of the covenant curse. We will examine what it means to be “cut off” from the covenant community, and discover the restorative purpose behind this action. We will ponder the various idioms used in the text to describe the covenant curse, and see if they fit the stereotypical image of a divine “punishment”. We will explore what it means to be “justified” in the context of the covenant curse and repentance, and if that removes all consequences from the offender. In the end, we will challenge ourselves to apply what we have learned about “the curse” to the case of Jesus, and understand more thoroughly how he “became a curse” as the “curse-breaker”.   I hope you will join me on this journey to find resurrection on the other side of deconstruction!

    #Blessed

    Season 2 Episode 32 of the Trauma-Informed Church Kid podcast The family of Abraham has chosen to live with the King of the Universe in their midst, and they have been given his “house rules” instructing them how to live. What will happen if they keep them, and what will happen if they don’t? How much of a “blessing” is it, really? This week, we take a look at the concepts of blessing. We will examine what the word means, and if it is something that is given or something that can be taken. We will ponder the distinction between the love of Adonai and the favor of Adonai, and consider what conditions (if any) are placed on either. We will explore the “prosperity gospel”, pagan worship, and other forms of “magic” to discover how they differ from what we find in the Bible. In the end, we will challenge ourselves to let go of a performance mindset: to be grateful for the gifts we do receive, and to actually receive them as gifts – not about what we deserve or what we have earned, but out of unconditional love from our Father.

    A Ransom for Your Life

    Season 2 Episode 31 of the Trauma-Informed Church Kid podcast   The family of Abraham has chosen to live with the King of the Universe in their midst, but they remain a people of unclean lips and unclean hands. Do they need to be ransomed from Adonai’s death penalty? Is that what sacrifices are doing?   This week, we take a look at the concepts of ransom and/or redemption. We will examine the different kinds of semantic frames which we find in the Scriptures for “ransom”, and discover if any of these are related to sacrifices. We will ponder what it means to give a “ransom for your life”, and if Adonai even accepts those kinds of “bribes”. We will explore the meaning of debt, cost, and payment, and consider how they are the same.. and how they are different.In the end, we will challenge ourselves to look at ransom/redemption differently: as being about a costly deliverance from bondage (not to Adonai), and the cost it takes to “bind” us (back) to Adonai as our Loving Father.   I hope you will join me on this journey to find resurrection on the other side of deconstruction!

    Wellness Gifts

    Season 2 Episode 30 of the Trauma-Informed Church Kid podcast   The family of Abraham has chosen to live with the King of the Universe in their midst. How is this going to be possible, when they are “not-well”? How could they even begin to fix that problem?   This week, we take a look at the atoning gifts, which I am calling “wellness gifts”. We will examine the different kinds of these gifts which are given to Adonai, and discover what they tell us about the heart of Adonai toward sinners. We will ponder what it means to be “made well”, and how our “not-well” state both is and isn’t about moral guilt. We will explore the meaning of restitution in these wellness-gifts, and consider why an extra cost is required to an already costly gift. In the end, we will challenge ourselves to look at atoning offerings differently: as being about being made well, through a life-transfusion that brings shalom.   I hope you will join me on this journey to find resurrection on the other side of deconstruction!

    Welcoming Gifts

    Season 2 Episode 29 of the Trauma-Informed Church Kid podcast The family of Abraham has chosen to live with the King of the Universe in their midst. How should you welcome a king? What kind of gift do you give to divinity? This week, we take a look at what “sacrifice” means, and the role that death plays (and doesn’t play) in sacrifices. We will examine the different kinds of gifts which are given to Adonai, and discover what they tell us about his heart (and our own). We will ponder what it means to give gifts to him at all, when everything is his to begin with. We will explore the meaning of death within the ritual, and consider if death is necessary to make a "pleasing aroma". In the end, we will challenge ourselves to look at gifts and offerings differently: as being about hospitality and welcome, joyful and loving presents from children to their Father.

    Season 2 Episode 28 of the Trauma-Informed Church Kid podcast This is our fourth (and penultimate) "How of Hurt" episode of the season! In this episode, we seek to examine what healing from trauma looks like -- focusing on the spirit and/or the soul. We will discuss what "parts" of our personality are, find out what our "Self" is and if we all have access to it (or not), learn about unblending and unburdening, explore how to reparent/reintegrate our parts, and discover how we can "attend and befriend" parts of us as part of this journey.
