Discussion Questions

  • How has empathy played a role in your relationship with trauma?
  • Can you identify a time when the trouble ended but the trauma lingered? How did you deal with it? 
  • How can the church better support people carrying trauma, not just going through trouble?
  • Based on your experiences, how have you been able to discern the trouble or trauma other people have?
