Overcoming Trauma

Using Herod's slaughter of the innocents and the holy family's flight to Egypt, the sermon argues that trauma is overcome not by suppressing or merely processing pain but by recognizing the reality of spiritual evil, trusting that our suffering fits inside God's larger redemptive gospel story fulfilled in Christ, and lamenting honestly while resting in Christ's own trauma-bearing death and resurrection as the source of healing.
