Summary

What then, is trauma, exactly, and how do we understand it to be different from other wounds that we experience over the course of our lives? This much we know: although many of us are able to avoid awareness of trauma, no one avoids it altogether. It touches us as individuals and as systems, including those places we seek and expect to find refuge from it, such as our families and churches. Eventually, it extends to entire cultures where with our violence we resort to systematic cultural brutality and the support of building an empire. Fortunately for us, the Bible is no stranger to trauma, and neither is Jesus. In fact, it is his example to which we will turn over and over to discover what it means to turn our attention toward, rather than away from trauma, for it not only to be healed, but for us to be recommissioned to create beauty in its very midst. Listen in as Pepper and Curt lay the groundwork for knowing not just what trauma is, but what it begins to look like when we move from being its victims to becoming its victors.

0:56.4	Known Podcast, we are talking about trauma and last season we we went through Kurt's newest book, The Soul of Desire, and I believe it was
1:08.7	episode four of last season, we talked about trauma and shame. And I think that's probably a good place
1:14.1	for us to start today sort of hearken back to some of those things just to give us
1:19.6	a ground level of where we're going to go this season and today's episode is all about the
1:24.9	definitions all about the definitions so we're all on the same page.
1:28.1	Yeah. Well it's a great reminder pepper that we had this encounter with trauma and shame in our last season and I as you and I were just talking about before we started recording the, the soul of desire is in, you know, part of its intention is to draw our
1:48.9	attention to beauty and that's one of the things that we were going to continue to come back around to here even in this season that as we talk about trauma as we get you know much more granular much more down to the detail that we are reminded that in the
2:07.1	face of trauma that we also want to remember that beauty is coming to find us.
2:15.7	And it's coming to find us because it knows that we are traumatized.
2:20.9	It's not just passively, negligently happening to be passing by in the neighborhood where we happen to be.
