About this episode
Dr. Knabb discusses the effects of trauma on worldviews and offers a biblical perspective for Christians.
In this 72nd episode, Dr. Knabb explores the impact that traumatic events can have on our worldview. Referred to in secular psychology as "shattered assumptions" or "shattered worldviews," an exploration of the role that traumatic events can have on our view that the world and other people are safe, predictable, and controllable is offered. Then, a biblical perspective is provided to help Christians shift from unhelpful to helpful worldview assumptions, with the God of love at the center. To conclude the podcast, a short meditative exercise is included to focus on God's promises from the Bible.
