On a scale of 1-10, how are you doing right now?

[harmonytwin]

I’m not ok right now . Give me Grace Lord and heal me. ❤

[kkhess]

Honestly, the last group I'd ever share my trauma with is a fellow Christian. I have been hurt by "them". And this is something I think the church needs to address!

[charlesmarcus]

How refreshing. A pastor who acknowledges “racism”exists and brings trauma. He also mentions having a counselor. Having a counselor isn’t a lack of faith. God works through people that he had gifted. I pray those with trauma don’t just lean on the church but get professional help.

[bunmiaghahowa]

I still suffer trauma from childhood abuse. Abuse of all kinds; physical, emotional, mental, verbal, sexuial, neglect, abandonment repeatedly. After leaving home i buried it. Later as a Christian I wondered why God allowed it to happen, until I came across 2 Cor 1 3-5. It was hard to process..I am learning to take it to God. It is difficult. Initially it took me years before I could even tell anyone. Now I can talk about it better. It has been 40 years plus. I pray one day I would be able to comfort others passing through the same. 🙏

My heart is shattered since my daughter was brutally raped and murdered 2 years ago. I choose Jesus and take comfort knowing He was with her and has taken her home. I am a broken child of God's with a prayer that people will see God in my brokenness and despite it; for His goodness to shine through.

[paulevans]

Complex grief, cptsd, clinical depression, suicidal ideation. All thorns of mine. This is powerful. Thank you

[valeriefriesen]

Please pray for me as I’m going through multiple traumas. Soaking in God’s word, listening to sermons like these, etc but most of I need to take it in an totally surrender God’s plan for my life.

[cynthiagallardo]

I am surrendering my life to Jesus! ❤️

[terryasbill]

Asking fellow believers to pray for me. I appreciate it!

[jennifernaude]

I'm living with trauma for 48 years.. I'm in tears listening to this. Thank you....blessings

[didineri]

I’m not OK right now 😌... and totally alone from human presence ... yet I’m not alone
GOD IS WITH ME ❤️🙏
I WILL OVERCOME!
🙏❤️💪 I’M SURRENDERING MY LUFE TO JESUS 🙏❤️

[loezzz]

I love sermons like these bc I feel that God’s like ‘Hey here is this sermon bc I’m tired of you not dealing with it and I’m tired of seeing you in pain.’

[Riv_ers]

I was just diagnosed with PTSD from work and Childhood. This was posted today and I can’t be more thankful for the words the Holy Spirit spoke through you. God bless.

[melissamcdonald]

I chew up in that time. I suffered from a car accident. Doctors told my family that they need to prepare. Then God spoke to me and said he'd heal me in his time frame and I'm still being healing today. But I started by living in a recliner rock chair. Could walk ect. Today I can drive, I volunteer at Memorial Hermann Hospital.

[NURSERYTIME]

I’m at about a 4 as well. Stuck in a cycle of mistrust failure and unbelief that Jesus forgives my backsliding let alone that He would have mercy and heal me from it. Struggling to believe but lm surrendering my life tonight. Thankful for this pastor this church this moment and this word!

[landismailbox]

I’m not okay. But after this is don’t feel alone. I heard that it’s not that I’m struggling so much, it’s that we live in a broken world. My newest found favorite pastor and church! Much love everyone

[tanjasmit]

Fantastic sermon! Share your trauma... TALK about it... get it out, lay it at the Lord's feet.... The Healer WILL heal you....keep the faith!🙏🏻🇿🇦

[aprildiamond]

Trauma is life changing….I am living with a TBI and PTSD goes along with it. Sometimes, people are very insensitive to an invisible injury. Thank you for this sermon and sharing your testimony with us! Trauma and mental health is not possession, which I’ve been told by a “religious” guy. Wounds that you can’t see take much longer than physical in my experience.

[cheryld]

This was a beautiful message. I can attest that this process of healing is correct. I'd lived a long life of complex trauma (physical, emotional and sexual abuse) by the time I became a Christian at 34 years old. God began healing my heart right away and as I've pressed into Him and shared within my community of Celebrate Recovery I have found complete healing. The past 3 years I have been pursuing purpose in my trauma by mentoring other women healing from abuse, and God has put it on my heart to write a book that may help many more people. If you are struggling from the trauma and pain of abuse please heed Pastor Craig's teaching as truth that works!! God bless 🙌
