Trauma-Informed Church Kid

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.

Season 2 Episode 27 of the Trauma-Informed Church Kid podcast

In this Expert-Teas episode, I sit down for "tea" with Sheila Wray Gregoire to discuss evangelical purity culture, sex culture, and patriarchal culture. We take a look at harmful teachings of purity culture; we explore the healthy antidote to those teachings; we examine what "looking with lust" and "modesty" actually mean in the Bible. We also discuss practical teaching targets for parents who want to avoid how they were taught, and end with seeing what the signs are of a toxic church culture in these areas.

Sheila Wray Gregoire is an author, podcaster, and researcher into evangelicalism and sex. The founder of BareMarriage.com, together with her team she has surveyed over 32,000 people for her books The Great Sex Rescue, She Deserves Better and her latest book, The Marriage You Want. Her goal is to change the evangelical conversation about sex to be healthy, evidence-based, and rooted in Christ. A graduate of Queen's University, she's married to her husband Keith, a pediatrician, who writes and speaks with her. In their 30 years of marriage they’ve lived through grad school, medical residency, the birth of three children, and the death of one. And through it all they’ve realized that clinging to each other, and to God, in the rough times is so much better than trying to go it alone. Together they have a passion for marriage.
