Mission EDIFY is a grassroots teaching initiative in support of the spiritual and emotional needs of adults suffering the effects of trauma including the leaders who seek to understand.

Drawing from the unique value of personal experience, Thomas Aquinas’ insights on “the passions,” (human emotion) and a decade of empirical research, Mission EDIFY presentations are tailored to bridge the perplexing gap between the effects of trauma and the Christian imperative to forgive.

Conventional wisdom asserts that forgiveness is a choice—not an emotion or feeling. Feelings catch up later. But my feelings lagged like out-of-shape runners who had lost sight of the finish line. When they were not lagging they ran fiercely ahead of reason. No one knew that the enemy weaponized this common ministry guidepost against me. But God knew, and he used this sticking point to reframe the choice to forgive through the lens of trauma.

Let’s make an impact together!
