Fabulous time today visiting with authors Adrienne Gibson and Scot McKnight on their new book Traumatized Church: What Paul's Relationship with the Corinthian Church Teaches Us About Helping Those Who are Hurting. Adrienne brings the perspective of a licensed therapist and Scot the knowledge of a New Testament scholar and together they have written a really hopeful and informative book on trauma, the church, Paul and the Corinthians, and on individual and collective healing. A must listen for anyone working in the church or who loves the church! Show Notes:Paul and Thecla from 2nd centuryTraumatized ChurchValor Counseling - Adrienne’s Practice in Mesa, Arizona Scot Mcknight on SubstackScot’s booksKey TopicsTrauma in the church and its impactPaul's vulnerability and trauma as a leaderTrauma-informed and trauma-sensitive church practicesChapters00:00 The Peace of Wild Things02:06 Introducing the Authors and Their Journey09:31 Understanding Trauma11:47 The Church as a Traumatic Space15:45 Becoming Trauma-Informed19:16 Transforming Pain: Insights from Paul and the Corinthians27:57 Understanding Paul's Humanity30:46 The Impact of Trauma on Leadership35:47 The Role of Pastors in Modern Churches41:34 Breaking the Cycle of Harm in Churches45:25 The Importance of Trauma Awareness in Ministry
