Trauma-Informed Evangelism

Many people leave churches and faith because they have experienced spiritual abuse and trauma due to toxic religious narratives. In this session we explore the concepts of spiritual abuse and religious trauma, and we discuss pastoral leadership practices and postures that foster congregations that are healing for the spiritually traumatized.

A part of our series Intersection: Where Theology and Practice Meet, this particular webinar took place on Tuesday, September 19, 2023.
