Summary

What is it about sex that seems to make everything—especially trauma—so much more difficult? Moreover, how is sexual trauma so much more debilitating than some other forms of our topic? No matter how much we would like to wish otherwise, there is just no getting around the fact that few things shatter lives more than the events of trauma that surround our sexuality. Join Pepper and Curt as we wade into this, one of the more sensitive—and beautiful—topics of this series. Sensitive because it addresses the parts of what it means to be most fragile as human beings. And beautiful because it addresses those same parts from which our greatest vulnerability and generativity spring forth. But above all else, join us because if your story is being told through the lens of sexual trauma, Jesus is at the ready to meet you to make sure that you begin to tell your story very differently.

0:56.4	of sexual trauma today.
0:58.6	And Kurt, you might want to start with some sort of word
1:01.3	of encouragement or here before we even dive in.
1:05.0	Yeah, I mean, first of all, I want to acknowledge that, you know, as two men, we are far less likely to have experienced sexual trauma just because of
1:19.8	our gender.
1:21.2	And so I want to acknowledge that that I'm aware that I don't know what it
1:26.4	means especially to be a female but it doesn't I mean there are plenty of men
1:30.1	who've also been sexually mistreated.
1:33.0	So I want to acknowledge that there are elements of this
1:37.6	that I don't know personally,
1:39.6	but over the course of 30 years of doing the work that I do have seen many many people whose lives
