The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill tells the stories of myriad hurts committed in the name of Christ and his church. Real pain inflicted on real people has consequences; and, for many in the Mars Hill community, the ripple effects have been long lasting. Individuals' spiritual trauma has born out in subsequent church relationships and even personal spiritual practices like Bible study and prayer.In a culture enamored with therapeutic lingo, it can be hard to determine what true trauma is. Spend any time on social media, and you'll find claims of trauma and invocations against toxic people, especially those associated with the church. Exhorted by Scripture to be "wise as serpents and harmless as doves," how can we discern this kind of abuse when we experience it? How can we create organizations that are hospitable to the hurting? And, what can we do to recover?In this bonus episode of The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill, host Mike Cosper sits down with therapist Aundi Kolber to investigate the roots of spiritual trauma and chart a path forward after pain. Committed to an integrated view of humans as divine image bearers, Kolber explains the necessity of embodiment in our spiritual lives and offers practical tips for starting the process of repair after trauma.You can learn more about Aundi and her work at <a href="www.aundikolber.com">www.aundikolber.com</a>“The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill” is a production of Christianity TodayExecutive Producer: Erik PetrikProduced, written, edited, and hosted by: Mike CosperAssociate produced by Joy Beth Smith and Azurae PhelpsMusic, sound design and mixing: Kate SiefkerGraphic Design: Rick SzuecsEditorial consulting: Andrea Palpant DilleySocial Media: Kate Lucky Learn more about your ad choices.
