  • Our response to Trauma is to go back to old patters (the boat)

  • Trauma: Anything that negative changes our view of the world, others, or God. Anything that shakes us deeply brings us into the realm of trauma.

  • Shame is a form of self-hate

  • Shame writes the resume

  • Jesus pursues us in our pain

  • Jesus turns over every stone where shame is lurking

  • Jesus wants to heal us from shame so that we can truly Represent Him to a fallen and broken world
