Episode 08 - Wounds & Trauma

Through Rough Waters with Zach Allen

Tuesday, November 28, 2023 - 54 minutes

This week, Zach and Kevin are joined by Rev. Dr. Brian Smilde as they take a deep dive on the idea of family wounds and trauma. They unpack Ephesians 6:1-4 and the idea of both honoring your parents and of parents not provoking their children, as well as discuss wounds of withholding (neglect) and wounds of aggression (abuse). They also discuss how to identify trauma and how important it is to get help and begin processing it.

 

Note: There are brief, non-graphic mentions of sexual abuse in this episode as our guest Brian shares some of his personal story.
