The PTSD Healing Journey

We cannot walk The Trauma Healing Journey without getting an understanding of Post Traumatic Stress, which is often communicated by its abbreviation, PTSD. PTSD is a condition that affects people who have been exposed to a traumatic event or series of events, where a collection of symptoms remain long after the event. 



The understanding of PTSD is very helpful for us to become so much more aware of how shocking and painful experiences of our past can leave a lasting imprint on our minds, bodies, and spirit. 



When you experience a trauma, your stress response kicks in for help and protection. Your body is meant to come back to peace after the incident is over. But with PTSD, the mind and body does not come back to peace. And there are numerous symptoms that can remain, long after the experience occurred. 



Today I want to bring out PTSD–how it impacts our lives and some very important perspectives for healing.

What Does the Bible Say About Trauma?

When you think of trauma and you think of the Bible, those words are often explored in separate worlds. But traumatic experiences are written about all throughout both the Old and New Testament. Trauma has impacted humanity since the beginning of time and the Bible shows us its impact, where just about every form of trauma is in the Scriptures. Observing the stories of these traumatic experiences in Scripture reveals a lot of how we react to trauma and how those experiences can have negative effects on thinking, feeling and behaving. In this broadcast, I want to explore trauma in the Scriptures and help us gain healing perspectives we can gain from God’s Word.

Why Does Trauma Affect Us all so Differently?

Why does it seem like trauma affects people in so many different ways? In my last session, I talked about the many signs and symptoms of trauma. For some people, you can easily detect trauma symptoms. For others, it can be much more hidden. Regardless, there are a variety of ways that trauma impacts people and there are some reasons for this. A lot of it has to do with many influential factors before the trauma even happens. 



While your body is designed to handle certain traumatic moments with protective and even healing responses, there are numerous factors we need to be aware of that contribute to  after effects that remain long after trauma occurs. Today I want to get into those factors.

What Does It Means to “Fall From Grace?”

What does it mean to fall from grace? When the phrase “fall from grace” is used in our culture, it often means someone had a public scandal or moral failure. However, the biblical understanding of falling from grace is quite different. In this broadcast, I want to explore the two key ways believers can actually “fall from grace.” One has to do with how you relate to God. The other has to do with how you relate to other people. May this teaching encourage you to be free from entanglements and walk in greater healing and freedom.

The Signs and Symptoms of Trauma

Trauma can have a profound and lasting impact on our lives, often manifesting in ways we might not immediately recognize. But I find that it is important to understand that trauma isn’t just about the event itself, but also about the imprint it leaves on our minds, bodies, and spirit. There are patterns that can continue long after the event occurred. 



Trauma can show up in various ways, from emotional struggles like anxiety and depression to physical bodily symptoms and behavioral changes. Recognizing these signs can be a helpful step towards healing, freedom and recovery. In this session, I want to explore common symptoms and signs of trauma, to help you identify potential areas of your life where trauma may be playing a role.

🔴Sun Live: Life is in the Light | Fear of Falling Away | Fear of Being Esau

Join us for Sunday live, as Mark delves into 1 John and the biblical theme of walking in the light, while also discerning the influence of darkness. He also addresses questions addressing His work in church consultations and the need for church health. Mark also shares about a psychological concept called adolescent egocentrism and how we can all benefit from embracing ongoing emotional maturity.



A viewer sent in a question about deconstruction and the fear of falling away. Another question was sent in saying, “I forgive the same people every day, but I still hate them. Am I missing something?”



Mark also addresses questions relate to trauma and working through harsh words that have been spoken towards us. Can one comment be traumatic?



How do you interpret Romans 12:2 in light of Exposure Response Prevention?



There is also a question from a listener that experiences jealous regarding his brother, but has religious OCD struggles, where he spins out about Esau. He worries he has reached the place where he is Esau and he cannot repent. Mark spends some time breaking down Hebrews 12 and the important factor that was in Esau’s life.

Grace Heals How You Relate to Weakness

How do you handle weakness in your life? What about in the lives of others? 



Today I want to talk about the perspective that grace brings to your weaknesses, which pushes against the cultural way that we relate to weakness in our journey. If you want to learn to experience grace more, you will need to adjust how you relate to weakness, in yourself and in others. 



I think weakness gets a bad rap. In modern culture that puts so much emphasis on how things look, appearance, and strength, we put our best foot forward and make sure no one sees any limping that we have in our step. And I believe it has contributed to a poor relationship that we have with weakness. And the New Covenant of grace challenges us to have a renewed perspective on weakness. And I want to lovingly push back against the poor relationship that believers have when it comes to weakness.

OCD and the Struggle of Trauma

Why do those with OCD have such a difficult time processing thorugh trauma? The pain of trauma is already difficult in itself, but if someone has OCD struggles, it make working through trauma even more challenging. As I continue on The Trauma Healing Journey, I must address this factor, because so many of my viewers have battles with obsessive-compulsive struggles. Today I want to examine the ways individuals with OCD may process and interact with the concept of trauma, often leading to challenges in identifying, addressing, and healing from past experiences.

The Trauma Healing Journey: Understanding Its Impact

Join me on the Truma Healing Journey, where I will speak to this topic and help us get to the heart of trauma, PTSD, Complex Trauma and the overall struggle in working through painful experiences from the past. In this broadcast, I want to get into “Understanding the Impact of Trauma,” so that we can be aware of its impact in our personal lives and in those around us.



Today, there is a growing awareness of the impact that trauma can have on our mental health and rightly so, as traumatic experiences are intense life experiences that can have a negative impact on how we feel and relate. More and more people are recognizing the impact that traumatic experiences in their history are having a disempowering influence on their present. In the journey of experiencing healing and freedom, trauma is an important aspect of healing to recognize.



In this series I will will be covering: Trauma, PTSD, Complex Trauma and more. In this first session, I will lay the foundation for understanding trauma and how we can gain insight for our healing and freedom journey.

Grace is Not Afraid of Your Sin

Grace is not sloppy, nor is it irresponsible or careless. But grace is not afraid of our messiness. In fact, where things get messy, grace has an ability to work powerfully. Today I want to get into understanding this: that while we may struggle with condemnation, fear and shame regarding our sins and struggles, grace is not. 



Whenever believers gain a deeper awareness of grace, they can often struggle with feeling that grace is “too good to be true.” Others will fear that if they wholeheartedly embrace the grace of Jesus Christ, they will misuse it and fall into lawlessness. We’ve all seen examples of people misusing grace to justify their actions and lifestyle. 



But we cannot allow this to ruin the beauty of what the grace of Jesus Christ actually is and what it does in our lives.

The Healing & Freedom Journey
The Fruit of the Spirit and a Nurtured Mind

When I first began this journey of healing and freedom with my mental health, one of my goals was to learn how to relate to all my disturbing, embarrassing, conflicting, depressing and anxiety ridden thoughts. But in the long run, what I really learned was how to relate to ALL my thoughts in a renewed way. I want to invite into that journey as well.



As I learned to relate to thoughts in a more empowering way, I moved from chasing quick fixes and just trying to fell better right away, to embracing a journey of nurturing my mind. I also saw how the fruit of the Spirit is working to strengthen and nurture our minds relationally.



Today I want to unpack how each aspect of the fruit of the Spirit can provide comfort, strength, and resilience as you navigate your mental health battles. Whether you’re wrestling with depression, OCD, or simply a tendency towards anxious thinking, this broadcast offers a refreshing perspective grounded in God’s relational nature. I pray that I can inspire you to stop seeing the fruit of the Spirit as mere performance standards and instead view them as life-giving metrics for how to think, feel, and interact with yourself and others.

2 Enemies to a BOLD Relationship with God

Grace makes way for a BOLD relationship with God, which speaks of a confident interaction with God. God calls us as His children to come before Him and to practice it confidently, as the grace of Jesus Christ provides us that confidence. This confidence is not based on what we have done, but on what Christ has done for us. Confidence and boldness is a part of practicing our faith and trust in God, that we can practice in our day to day life. 



But you need to know the two main enemies that work to strip you of your God-given confidence. Using Hebrews 4 as our launching pad, allow me to empower your grace journey by empowering your confidence to come boldly before the throne of grace.

The Healing & Freedom Journey
How to Relate to Your Thoughts, Emotions and Feelings

Join me as I delve into the intricate relationship between our thoughts, emotions, and feelings and how to relate to them in fruitful ways. Many admit to a lack of training and equipping when it comes to working through their emotions and feelings. I will show you the tight connection that thoughts and emotions have, debunking the myth that some people believe that we don’t need to learn about emotions.



The key lies in learning to interpret and give healthy meaning to our emotions – what is refers to as “feelings.” This is where many of us struggle, often finding ourselves either drowning in our emotional responses or desperately trying to suppress them.



In this video, I want to bring a compassionate and grace-filled approach, encouraging us through a comprehensive understanding of core emotions, from happiness and sadness to fear and anger. But I won’t stop there, as I will also introduces powerful emotions like love, appreciation, and awe, reminding us of the full spectrum of human experience.



Underlying this journey is the vital role of “compassionate grace.” Without this lens, we risk becoming our own worst enemies, turning on ourselves and creating toxic inner landscapes. Instead, I will encourages you to let your emotions work through you, rather than trying to stop them from even surfacing.
