This Week on Soul Talks
The holiday season is often idealized as the best time of the year. Yet many of us get triggered by seeing Christmas decorations or spending time with family. Why? The trauma that you or your friends have experienced in the past can get activated in situations that cause similar pain or feel overwhelming. Thankfully, the biblical record of the first Christmas offers a road map for navigating emotional distress and trauma.
Join us for this episode of Soul Talks as Bill and Kristi draw on the Christmas story as a real-life account of enduring trauma. You’ll take heart from Mary’s story of taking courage from God when she was vulnerable and in danger. Whatever emotions surface for you this holiday season, you can follow in her footsteps of faith and trust God to provide the care and strength you need.
