Kevin Withem has a heartfelt conversation with Kyle Spears, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) specializing in trauma. Kyle states that "Trauma is hurt stored in the body." How do we navigate our trauma or trauma stored in the body of our fellowships? How do we create safe places for those who have experienced trauma, or for those who have felt measured but not supported? Many in our current culture are increasingly experiencing some form of trauma. Now is a crucial time for the church to provide a place for healing and transformation. Kyle offers pathways for individuals and congregations to enter into this difficult but crucial work. https://www.truthtraumatheology.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@TruthTraumaTheology https://www.facebook.com/truthtraumatheology/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/kyle-spears-limhp-lmft-46b506178/ CGU creates spaces for Christians to gather so that we might recognize Jesus in one another.

CGU creates spaces, communities, and resources to help people experience "the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace" (Eph. 4:3), advancing the prayer of Jesus (Jn. 17:21-23). We have big ideas for unity, but we can't do it alone. Our support comes from people like you who give a tax-deductible monthly donation or a one-time gift. Please donate at https://www.commongroundsunity.org/donate. Please check out commongroundsunity.org to learn more about CGU, how to subscribe to the newsletter, join the Facebook group, or find the YouTube Channel. Check out the gatherings page, where you can connect with other unity-minded Christians in your area. If you cannot find a gathering in your area, we can help you start one. It's not difficult or time-consuming, and we will help you out along the way. It really does, simply, start with a cup of coffee. If you want to volunteer or ask questions, please email John at john@commongroundsunity.org. Until next time, God bless, and remember, “Unity Starts With A Cup of Coffee.” The Common Grounds Unity theme music for our intro and exit for Season 3 is Cody Martin's "Forever with You."
