How does the tension between victimization and agency play out in our churches and faith communities? Join us, Matt Scheuneman and Dr David Hall, as we unravel this timely and relevant discussion. We dig into the prevalent narratives of trauma, abuse, and bullying, and challenge the mindset of victimization, offering instead a fresh perspective on the concept of agency and its impact on our mental health and faith.Venturing further, we probe the implications of control and how it can seed feelings of depression, anxiety, and fear. Let's journey together through scriptural teachings to understand how God interacts with our choices and their consequences. We'll explore how our agency can be a force for positive change and discuss the transformative power of abiding in Christ amidst circumstantial pain. This is more than just a conversation about victimhood and agency, it's about finding hope and navigating life’s challenges through faith. So, are you ready to see your faith in a new light?Show Notes:SBC Article on abusehttps://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/faqs-sexual-abuse-southern-baptist/Rise and Fall of Mars Hill Podcast linkhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-rise-and-fall-of-mars-hill/id1569401963Man’s Search for Meaning - Franklhttps://www.amazon.com/Mans-Search-Meaning-Viktor-Frankl-ebook/dp/B009U9S6FIFrancis Shaffer bookhttps://www.amazon.com/He-There-Not-Silent/dp/084231413XFully Alive - Crabbhttps://www.amazon.com/Fully-Alive-Biblical-Vision-Stereotypes/dp/0801015332/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1678114478&sr=1-1Phil 2:5https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Philippians%202%3A5-11&version=ESVBill O’Hanlen training - Resolving Trauma Without the Dramahttps://psychmaven.teachable.com/p/trauma-without-drama
