Get trained in Trauma Healing

Trauma can create a barrier to people engaging with Scripture. Hearts are hardened by anger and bitterness, and the seed falls on this hard ground and does not take root. Trauma healing helps us to fulfill the gospel of Jesus Christ, setting the captives free (Is. 61:1-4).
