Today, we are reprising one of our most popular conversations of the past year with Dr. David C. Wang. David will be with us again at Regent this summer, from June 29 to July 3, teaching Trauma & Spiritual Formation: Principles & Practices for Leadership. In this conversation, he touches on many themes that will be discussed in the class, including types of trauma, adverse childhood experiences and ministry leaders, caring for oneself and others in the aftermath of trauma, and what we can learn from those who have experienced trauma in our church communities. Consider joining us in the classroom or online if you want to be part of this important conversation.
