Published: March 1, 2022, 4 p.m.

b"Welcome to Season 4 of Being Known Podcast where we are looking at trauma through the lens of hope and not fear.\\nDescription:There are few places you go these days without being made aware that there is a thing called trauma. It has begun to take up residence in the collective social consciousness\\u2014and it\\u2019s really of little surprise that it has. From the pandemic to racial injustice to political rancor to sexual abuse in what we have assumed to be trustworthy institutions to state-sponsored violence\\u2014we are more aware of it than ever. But awareness alone isn\\u2019t enough to stop it, as is patently obvious.\\nIn this season, we want to offer hope to our listeners. Hope for those who know what trauma is up close and personal, as well as for those who may have little to no idea that they have encountered it, let alone that others have. And that hope is ultimately to be found in Jesus, who appears to have made it his mission to redeem trauma wherever he finds it.\\nPart of that redemptive process includes our telling the story of trauma as truly as we can\\u2014so that evil doesn\\u2019t get to have the last word.\\xa0\\nEach episode in this season will relate to an area of trauma, including:\\nTrauma and the mind\\nTrauma and the brain\\nTrauma and the body\\nTrauma and shame\\nTrauma and the church\\nSexual trauma\\nGenerational trauma\\nHealing trauma\\nAnd more\\n\\xa0\\nLinks and References:\\nThe Better Angels of Our Nature by Steven Pinker\\nThe Body Keeps the Score by Bessel A. van den Kolk\\nSuffering and the Heart of God by Diane Landenberg\\nHealing Trauma by Peter Levine\\nIt Didn't Start with You by Mark Wolynn\\n\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nWe invite you to stay connected with us via social media and YouTube:\\nInstagram\\nFacebook\\nTwitter\\nYouTube (where we post the unedited videos of each episodes)\\n\\xa0\\nAs always, we invite you to subscribe to the podcast so you never miss an episode and welcome your reviews on Apple Podcasts."
