094: Understanding Trauma In The Pews & What It Means For Your Small Church | with Janyne McConnaughey

If I could choose just one podcast for every person in a small church to hear, it’s this one. Speaker and author, Janyne McConnaughey, shares truth about trauma that has the potential to deepen your ministry whether you lead the women, volunteer with kids, or serve as the senior pastor. Your church is filled with unhealed trauma, whether it sits silently in the pews or shows up in church conflict. And the sad reality is that people with unhealed trauma rarely find help within the church. Most healing journeys are not only started outside the church but remain there. Let’s change this! Join us as we dive into a difficult conversation that’s both messy and beautiful. Listen in for steps to welcome, receive, and journey with those recovering from trauma, including:Understanding what trauma looks like and how prevalent it is in your own churchHow healing from trauma is a deeply spiritual practice and how we can create safe spacesWhat Post-Traumatic Spiritual Growth is and how it adds value to your church communityThe importance of growing in our own healing and having connections with others who understand traumaConnect with Janyne McConnaughey:https://www.janyne.org/RESOURCES MENTIONEDGet your FREE ticket to the Women Reaching Women Conference! smallchurchsummits.comSupport the showSUBSCRIBE & REVIEWIf you loved this episode, please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts!
