Have you ever thought about how painful and traumatic events affect our spiritual life? Including how close we feel to God, how we believe God sees us, how safe we feel in relationships and how we approach the world around us. More importantly, how do we begin to heal when the hurt has come from within our own faith community or when spiritual language was used to enable the hurt? We know a lot about physical injuries, but what about spiritual injuries- and how that affects our faith and our relationships? These are all vital questions to ask and ones that I looked forward to exploring on this week's podcast. This week on the Faith & Mental Wellness Podcast, we dive into the nuanced conversation of When Faith Hurts: The Spiritual Impact of Trauma with Victor Vieth. In this episode we discuss: • Identifying spiritual injuries • The impact of abuse on spirituality • Signs and examples of spiritual blocks in our lives • The role of faith in coping and healing from abuse • What healthy spiritual care look like and how we can deal with spiritual injuries better in the church today Take a listen at the link in our bio!
