Students will explore how, through Scripture, our God speaks to our hearts when we encounter trauma and how his light shines into our deepest darkness. Although the effects of trauma are comprehensive, the love of God is greater. It comprehensively engages us. Students will see how God’s love and Scripture equips the Biblical counselor to walk with those who have been broken by trauma and abuse. Students will listen to and read about experts who share their experience working with various types of abuse and trauma.
