What does it mean to offer care to people the church has already harmed? Conscious Coore, founder of Flamingo Trauma Recovery and educator in trauma-informed spiritual care, has been answering that question for years.

In this first episode of the Everyday Prophets series, Kristen and Conscious go deep on what trauma-informed faith actually looks like in practice, why the church keeps collapsing reconciliation and reconnection into one thing, and how doctrine gets weaponized when we adopt it uncritically.

Conscious brings a framework that will stay with you: doctrine, choice, and power. She makes a distinction between reconciliation and reconnection that the church desperately needs. And she closes with a call for every listener to see themselves as a person of influence, because this work was never meant to live in the hands of a few.

If you've ever walked out of a church service feeling more alone than when you walked in, this conversation was made for you.
