Trauma in the Church: When Silence Equals Consent (Ep. 008)

Trauma in the church is not something we like to talk about, but it’s something we can’t afford to ignore. In Episode 008 of A Door of Hope, Kay and Kerry discuss how tempting it can be, even as Christians, to look away from painful situations or offer a quick Scripture instead of sitting with someone in their hurt. But showing up for one another isn’t optional. As those called to be the hands and feet of Jesus—to be “Christ with skin on”—we are invited to step into the hard places, to listen well, and to help carry the weight for our brothers and sisters who may be quietly struggling with unbearable trauma.

Beginning in childhood, the ritualistic trauma they endured led to a long and difficult journey toward healing, marked by struggles with anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, and dissociative identity disorder (DID). Through many years of walking in healing and restoration with the Lord, Kay and Kerry have found freedom—and now dedicate their lives to helping other survivors who have been ignored, shamed, or ridiculed. Using the freedom God has given them, they offer hope, understanding, and practical support to those navigating this deeply complex and often misunderstood trauma.
