Redeeming Heartache with Dan Allender

He’s helped so many of us deal with the pain of our past, and learn to share our stories. He’s helped leaders grow, marriages heal and weary people learn to rest. And he’s helped us see how the gospel is woven into our stories.  Dr. Dan Allender is one of those important, special voices in the world. His work as a therapist and teacher has transformed the lives of so many, and his books have been foundational in the healing and recovery journey of those touched by trauma.  Dan is the co-founder of The Seattle School of Theology/Psychology and The Allender Center.  If you’ve carried wounds from your past around with you and wondered what God could be up to, join me for a precious conversation with this gentle, wise, compassionate counselor. 04:23 Navigating global COVID trauma 11:37 What IS trauma? 15:38 The importance of validating our wounds24:51 Finding God in our trauma27:17 Finding our calling in God38:05 Kindness or niceness?43:55 How do we participate in redemption?If you love the podcast you'll love the radio show!
