About this episode

Rebecca and Liz discuss trauma and soul care with Christine Crawford, emphasizing the importance of being whole human beings in faith.

This week on Honestly, Though, Rebecca and Liz sit down with Christine Crawford for a deeply honest conversation about trauma, soul care, rest, and what it means to follow Jesus as whole human beings—not just floating heads with theology degrees. Christine shares how her work in trauma-informed spiritual formation led her to rethink some of the harmful messages many Christians have absorbed about rest, weakness, emotions, and even our physical bodies. Together, we explore why soul care isn’t self-indulgent—it’s deeply biblical.

You are allowed to rest. And you are deeply loved by God.
