Trauma-Informed Church Kid

Season 2 Episode 32 of the Trauma-Informed Church Kid podcast

The family of Abraham has chosen to live with the King of the Universe in their midst, and they have been given his “house rules” instructing them how to live. What will happen if they keep them, and what will happen if they don’t? How much of a “blessing” is it, really?

This week, we take a look at the concepts of blessing. We will examine what the word means, and if it is something that is given or something that can be taken. We will ponder the distinction between the love of Adonai and the favor of Adonai, and consider what conditions (if any) are placed on either. We will explore the “prosperity gospel”, pagan worship, and other forms of “magic” to discover how they differ from what we find in the Bible. In the end, we will challenge ourselves to let go of a performance mindset: to be grateful for the gifts we do receive, and to actually receive them as gifts – not about what we deserve or what we have earned, but out of unconditional love from our Father.

Season 2 Episode 31 of the Trauma-Informed Church Kid podcast

 

The family of Abraham has chosen to live with the King of the Universe in their midst, but they remain a people of unclean lips and unclean hands. Do they need to be ransomed from Adonai’s death penalty? Is that what sacrifices are doing?

 

This week, we take a look at the concepts of ransom and/or redemption. We will examine the different kinds of semantic frames which we find in the Scriptures for “ransom”, and discover if any of these are related to sacrifices. We will ponder what it means to give a “ransom for your life”, and if Adonai even accepts those kinds of “bribes”. We will explore the meaning of debt, cost, and payment, and consider how they are the same.. and how they are different.In the end, we will challenge ourselves to look at ransom/redemption differently: as being about a costly deliverance from bondage (not to Adonai), and the cost it takes to “bind” us (back) to Adonai as our Loving Father.

Season 2 Episode 30 of the Trauma-Informed Church Kid podcast

 

The family of Abraham has chosen to live with the King of the Universe in their midst. How is this going to be possible, when they are “not-well”? How could they even begin to fix that problem?

 

This week, we take a look at the atoning gifts, which I am calling “wellness gifts”. We will examine the different kinds of these gifts which are given to Adonai, and discover what they tell us about the heart of Adonai toward sinners. We will ponder what it means to be “made well”, and how our “not-well” state both is and isn’t about moral guilt. We will explore the meaning of restitution in these wellness-gifts, and consider why an extra cost is required to an already costly gift. In the end, we will challenge ourselves to look at atoning offerings differently: as being about being made well, through a life-transfusion that brings shalom.

Season 2 Episode 29 of the Trauma-Informed Church Kid podcast

The family of Abraham has chosen to live with the King of the Universe in their midst. How should you welcome a king? What kind of gift do you give to divinity?

This week, we take a look at what “sacrifice” means, and the role that death plays (and doesn’t play) in sacrifices. We will examine the different kinds of gifts which are given to Adonai, and discover what they tell us about his heart (and our own). We will ponder what it means to give gifts to him at all, when everything is his to begin with. We will explore the meaning of death within the ritual, and consider if death is necessary to make a "pleasing aroma". In the end, we will challenge ourselves to look at gifts and offerings differently: as being about hospitality and welcome, joyful and loving presents from children to their Father.

Season 2 Episode 28 of the Trauma-Informed Church Kid podcast

This is our fourth (and penultimate) "How of Hurt" episode of the season! In this episode, we seek to examine what healing from trauma looks like -- focusing on the spirit and/or the soul. We will discuss what "parts" of our personality are, find out what our "Self" is and if we all have access to it (or not), learn about unblending and unburdening, explore how to reparent/reintegrate our parts, and discover how we can "attend and befriend" parts of us as part of this journey.
