    44 | 🗄️ The wadded paper on the filing cabinet

    My friend Beau went to college and studied psychology, and a few jobs and other pursuits… and then, through some of his experiences (shared in this podcast) went back to study trauma and get the credentials to help others at the highest level possible. Why? Because a lot the people we encounter carry hurts we never see. And, we always live in the present based on our experiences of the past… 👇 I sought his wisdom because my goal is to bring together info that is: 🙏 Scripturally solid 🧬 Scientifically accurate 🧐 Simple to understand & apply   All three of those lanes matter. If it’s not Scripturally solid, it has no foundation. If it lacks scientific accuracy, it’s stale and irrelevant. If it’s not easy to access and apply… it loses its purpose. 🤷‍♂️   So, in light of those three… … and in light of wanting to help others find soul and spirit healing… … I talked to a counselor. In this episode (and the two that follow) I relay some of what he shared.     _______________ Links referenced See the GY6 resources, referenced here: www.GY6.online/FG  Upcoming GY6 workshops = www.GY6.online/events  The “Best of” Soul Wholeness, free audio = www.Jenkins.tv/best  Access the Soul Wholeness video course = www.Jenkins.tv/SWV  Coaching One-to-one personal coaching = https://www.jenkins.tv/PC    Links to Sojourn Counseling ⭐️ https://www.sojourncounseling.org  ⭐️ https://atease.org

    42 | 🍀 Sozo | comprehensive transformation

    When the New Testament speaks of being “saved,” it refers to far more than how we usually define the issue. Whereas we generally denote “saved” as the forgiveness of sins, the New Testament authors ( in fact, it’s “red letter,” so it’s taught be Jesus Himself), use the word SOZO, which means— 🙏 forgiveness 🛟 physical projection ⛓️‍💥 freedom from demonic oppression ❤️‍🩹 physical healing 🪦 raising the dead — and more.   Or, to say it another way, SOZO denotes the total coming of the complete Kingdom of God. 💥   In this episode we talk about the pivotal role John the Baptist played (the last and greatest of the old covenant prophets), comparing his position with what Jesus proposed to be available now… … and we walk though several stories from the book of Luke where Jesus not only DISCUSSES the message of the Kingdom but also DEMONSTRATES its manifestations. 🔥   _________________ Links referenced Video | Ten ways Moral Injury occurs = www.GY6.online/blog/ten  Access the free Grace Basics audio = https://www.jenkins.tv/grace  The Healing Workshop, on-demand course = www.Jenkins.tv/THW  The Kingdom 101, book = https://amzn.to/4cnJfdJ  One-to-one personal coaching = https://www.jenkins.tv/PC    Past episodes, related to this one 💥 You might not need a miracle, episode 6 = https://www.jenkins.tv/podcasts/podcast-version-2-0/episodes/2149079766  ❤️‍🩹 Two kinds of healing, episode 36 = https://www.jenkins.tv/podcasts/podcast-version-2-0/episodes/2149187864    Other mentions Rob’s book, The Long Way = www.RiseUpOnline.info/TLW

  3. 41 | 🤷‍♂️ PTSD or Moral Injury?

    41 | 🤷‍♂️ PTSD or Moral Injury?

    Michael Belton asked me to talk about Moral Injury… a “lesser known” (but probably “more lethal”) invisible wound than PTSD. So, we compare and contrast PTSD with Moral Injury to set the stage. Here’s the core of it Moral Injury feels different, because Moral Injury starts differently than PTSD. Whereas PTSD is a response to external “triggers” (you can remove yourself from the situation or avoid certain scenarios) Moral Injury goes with you. Moral Injury IS you. You’ve probably heard the saying "Wherever you go, there you are.” When the issue is “in you” (i.e., your conscience, your spirit), you can’t fight it or run from it. Key differences Note the key distinctions between the PTSD and Moral Injury: 💥PTSD Is a reaction to external threats Takes the form of fight, flight, freeze, or fawn Generally occurs when triggered 🫣 Moral Injury Is a response to internal “threats” Takes the form of guilt & shame May be constant— not just when triggered Again, Moral Injury is not PTSD, and PTSD is not Moral Injury.   Why it matters You must heal the KIND of hurt you have. If you don’t identify the kind of hurt you have and also implement the correct healing protocols for that specific wound, then— The healing protocol will be ineffective The hurt will remain The injured person may feel “un-heal-able” The injured person may reach the point of despair and “give up” For clarity, even though every “part” of you impacts the others (interdependent realization), hurts generally occur in the ways listed above. If multiple types of hurts are present, we must address each of them in their own way.    _________________ Links referenced See the GY6 resources, referenced here: www.GY6.online/FG Upcoming GY6 workshops = www.GY6.online/events   Differences between PTSD and Moral Injury  Ten ways Moral Injury happens = https://www.gy6.online/blog/ten  PTSD or Moral Injury = https://www.gy6.online/blog/MI    Serve Ministries Website = https://serveministriesinc.com  Become a certified chaplain = https://serveministriesinc.com/courses  Podcast / YouTube feed for Serve = https://youtu.be/HbVk4sQ608g?si=2z1hcqe-GXj55fkv  Other, related Access the Soul Wholeness video course = www.Jenkins.tv/SWV  Grab the digital bundle (eBook + audiobook) = www.Jenkins.tv/SW  Coaching One-to-one personal coaching = https://www.jenkins.tv/PC

    40 | 💡 Your story of struggle + search (and solution) helps others find healing, too

    We’re often (understandably) anxious about revealing our “true selves” to the people around us. When we do, though, the promises of 1 John 1:7-9 manifest (connection and cleansing). Notice— But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. It’s hard to walk in the light, though. ⭐️ Jim and Sarah recently shared their story of “walking in the light” with Beth and me while we were visiting them. They saw the truth of walking into the light firsthand. They experienced it. Whereas we fear people will consider us weak… … they consider us even stronger. Whereas we think they will push us away… … they come closer & we experience true connection + cleansing. ⭐️ Let’s define waking in the light, though… … because our culture has a tendency to over-share on social media ALONG WITH an epidemic of loneliness (no one close to us to share with). “Walking into the light" doesn’t mean you broadcast your hurts to everyone, everywhere. Rather, it entails entrusting your story to those who “have your six.” Think of it as concentric circles… ✅ A few people get to share all of your story, your struggles, your hurts, and more. They are your safe place. This should include your spouse / significant other and some close friends. 🟠 Some people get to hear “most” of your story. 🤷‍♂️ Many people get to hear “some” of your story. ❌ Most people get none of it. See the differences? ⭐️ When done in the right way, our stories of struggle + search + solution… they lead to freedom for us AND healing for others, as well.   _________________ Links referenced See the GY6 resources, referenced here: www.GY6.online/FG  Upcoming GY6 workshops = www.GY6.online/events  Other, related Access the Soul Wholeness video course = www.Jenkins.tv/SWV  Grab the digital bundle (eBook + audiobook) = www.Jenkins.tv/SW  Coaching One-to-one personal coaching = https://www.jenkins.tv/PC

    38 | 💀 What's behind suicide?

    I’ve been wrestling with a theory for a few years now— the more I’ve studied PTSD and Moral Injury. 👇 Here’s the hypothesis: the suicide epidemic is related to Moral Injury primarily— not PTSD. 👆   For sure, PTSD may play a role… … but, it’s important to figure this out. If we’re looking at the WRONG CAUSE, then we’ll create the wrong cure. And if we create the wrong CURE, we’ll provide a solution that’s largely ineffective. 💔   Here’s the basis for my theory…. The majority of military suicides occur after the age of 50. Or, to say it another way, time doesn’t heal all wounds— some get more intense. Let me explain… PTSD symptoms may lesson over time (you learn to cope with the triggers, you find tools that help you navigate life, and/or you adjust). You learn to read + recognize + respond to stressors in healthy ways. At the same time, the guilt & shame of Moral Injury seem to GROW if not addressed. Moreover, while they are raising their families, the responsibilities they feel for their families actually keeps many who contemplate suicide from acting upon it.   _________________ Links referenced See the GY6 resources, referenced here: www.GY6.online/FG  Upcoming GY6 workshops = www.GY6.online/events  Video explainer, Does PTSD really cause suicide? = https://www.gy6.online/blog/suicide  Long description of Moral Injury (compared to PTSD) = https://www.gy6.online/blog/MI  The article referenced in the intro = https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12317004/    And don’t forget about… www.JuntoTribe.com = Mike & Jim’s ministry for men www.HolosHP.com = Mike’s organization and coaching   Other, related Access the Soul Wholeness video course = www.Jenkins.tv/SWV  Grab the digital bundle (eBook + audiobook) = www.Jenkins.tv/SW    Coaching One-to-one personal coaching = https://www.jenkins.tv/PC

    37 | 💣 Choosing Unhealth?

    Two things which occur when an event “marks” you… 1️⃣ Stored The event is stored regardless of your awareness of it in the moment. 2️⃣ Stamped The stored data includes all of your five senses. Note, this “stored and stamped” happens for every “elevated” and memorable event— and is why certain sounds (songs) and smells (even seasonal shifts) create instant recall of good memories. It’s why we begin to not only feel as if we’re back in the same space, but we recall— without trying to think about it— happenings of those moments. And it’s why we begin anticipating and even behaving in similar ways. ✅ Now, let’s add another layer to it… Memories aren’t just stamped & stored in your brain, they’re stamped and storied IN YOUR BODY. Or, to say it the same way a popular book does, “The BODY keeps the score.” ✅ And that leads to this… … sometimes, a “flare up” in the body isn’t just a physical issue, it’s a soul-issue. It’s your body telling you that you have unfinished business to deal with. In the same way a check engine light tells you that something is happening in your vehicle, these “check engine lights” alert us to something in the soul. ✅ The problem is two-fold… 1️⃣ We often “cover” these alerts instead of addressing the deeper issues. 2️⃣ We sometimes “cause” them…   _________________ Links referenced See the GY6 resources, referenced here: www.GY6.online/FG  Upcoming GY6 workshops = www.GY6.online/events  And don’t forget about… www.JuntoTribe.com = Mike & Jim’s ministry for men  www.HolosHP.com = Mike’s organization and coaching  Other, related See The Healing Workshop, on-demand course = www.Jenkins.tv/THW  Access the Soul Wholeness video course = www.Jenkins.tv/SWV  Grab the digital bundle (eBook + audiobook) = www.Jenkins.tv/SW  Coaching One-to-one personal coaching = https://www.jenkins.tv/PC
