In this powerful and deeply personal episode of the Men After God podcast, Dustin Alley and Luke Sorensen take on one of the most pressing yet often overlooked topics among men: trauma. From hidden emotional wounds to past grief, this episode explores how trauma affects men’s minds, hearts, and spiritual lives—and how true healing begins not with denial, but with Jesus.Dustin and Luke unpack how trauma shows up in men's behavior, communication, and relationships. Drawing from biblical wisdom, real-life experiences, and neuroscience, they offer practical and spiritual insights for men—and those who lead them. They discuss the importance of emotional availability, the role of grief and lament, and how the Gospel offers hope for even the deepest wounds.This episode is for every man who’s carrying unspoken pain, and for every leader, pastor, or friend seeking to understand how to walk with men through the journey of spiritual and emotional healing.🧭 Key Takeaways:✔️ Trauma isn’t just emotional—it affects the whole person✔️ The Gospel doesn’t ignore your pain—it redeems it✔️ Grief is a necessary part of healing✔️ Men need emotional safety and spiritual truth✔️Ministry leaders must lead with empathy and understanding🕐 Time Stamps:2:51 Understanding Trauma: Definitions and Perspectives 10:19 The Impact of Trauma on Personal Growth 14:55 Emotional Responses and Healing 21:54 The Role of Grief and Witnessing in Healing 32:23 Biblical Insights on Brokenness and Healing 32:37 Understanding Trauma and the Heart 37:05 The Neuroscience of Emotional Responses 45:41 De-escalation Techniques in Conflict 52:11 Healing Through the Gospel and Acknowledging Trauma<a rel="payment" href="https://www.patreon.com/menaftergod">Support the show</a>📌 Connect with Men After God: 🌍 Website: <a href='http://www.menaftergod.net/'>www.menaftergod.net</a> 📺 YouTube: <a href='http://www.youtube.com/@menaftergod316'>www.youtube.com/@menaftergod316</a> 📷 Instagram: <a href='http://www.instagram.com/menaftergodpod'>www.instagram.com/menaftergodpod</a> 👥 Join Our Community: <a href='http://www.facebook.com/groups/menaftergod'>facebook.com/groups/menaftergod</a> 🛒 Get MAG Merch: <a href='http://www.faithfulshirtscustom.com/menaftergod'>www.faithfulshirtscustom.com/menaftergod</a> 💙 Support Us: <a href='http://www.patreon.com/MenAfterGod'>www.patreon.com/MenAfterGod</a> 🎙️ Available on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts
