You may have noticed the term trauma-informed gaining traction recently in Christian counseling circles. The idea of being informed versus uninformed about something gives a sense of urgency to the topic. No one wants to be out of the loop when it comes to the care of the people in your sphere of influence. But instead of feeling like you’re behind the times and scrambling to catch up, it’s good to take a careful look at this concept so you can make an informed decision (pun intended) about whether adopting a term like “trauma-informed” accurately describes your work.

~ New blog post from Brad Hambrick, author of Growing After Trauma

Brad Hambrick traces the development of the trauma-informed movement and explains how safety, trust, choice, collaboration, and empowerment shape effective care.

Our struggles with sleep impact every area of life, from physical and spiritual health to emotional well-being and thinking clearly. When Sleep Won’t Comeapproaches sleep from both physiological and biblical angles to help us understand our bodies’ physical rhythms and needs and to show how God uses sleep and sleeplessness to reveal his grace and care.
