EP | 13: Why Am I Still Carrying This?

Why do small moments feel so big? Why can a single comment carry the weight of years?

In this honest, Scripture-rich episode, Jonathan Kindler names trauma as more than an event. It is what lingers. This is the first episode in a multi-part series on trauma, laying the foundation for how we will talk about wounds, triggers, and renewal in the weeks ahead.

Through an immersive opener, biblical portraits of Tamar, Mephibosheth, and Naomi, and clear, accessible brain science, he explains why the body remembers when the mind does not, how distorted beliefs take root, and what renewal looks like for a soul that has lived in protection mode.

From the grocery bag metaphor to five steady anchors for understanding trauma, this conversation invites you to set down what you were never meant to carry, to trade shame for clarity, and to meet Christ in the very places that ache. You may not be able to change what happened, but peace, healing, and a sound mind are still on the table.
