146: How to Help the Pastoral Family Heal from Ministry Trauma with Kristen Humiston
The show today is a flashback to one of the amazing sessions at our 2023 Church Mental Health Summit with Kristen Humiston. Kristen and her family know what it’s like to be blindsided by an elder board and congregation’s decision to end their ministry as pastor. She knows firsthand the feeling of pouring your heart and soul into a community only to be met with abuse and malice. Church hurt isn’t only something she has studied, but it’s something that she has lived.
Quotes
- It was a death that no one wanted to acknowledge and we couldn’t talk about…
- God sees you, and He is already acting on your behalf to bring in healing.
- As a body of Christ, we have the opportunity to be healers of the broken, even when they are our shepherds among us.
- No one can define what is traumatic for another person, nor can anyone dictate when it’s time to move on.
