"Christ does some of his most beautiful rebuilding in places that still look like ruins."
We’re giving away a free conference session by Darby Strickland on the topic of trauma from the 2026 Gospel Coalition Women's Conference. Simply enter your email and receive the audio to your inbox: https://www.ccef.org/free-audio-for-trauma/
About the audio: When trauma strikes, it doesn’t just wound. It disorients. Many women in our churches feel spiritually exiled—cut off from God, community, and even their sense of identity. As helpers, how do we walk with them when the path is unclear and the pain feels unspeakable? In this breakout, you’ll learn how Scripture frames trauma through the lens of exile and how the gospel meets women in their wilderness. We consider the dislocating nature of trauma, how to minister through presence rather than pressure, and what it looks like to offer safety without silence. You’ll hear about practical ways to invite pastors and church leaders to engage trauma stories with compassion.
