Based on interactions that I’ve recently seen in social media, I can safely say that I’ve never been more convinced that people formed in white. North American #evangelicalism are uniformly committed to a framework of belief that is about control, moralism, and shame. 1/x It doesn’t matter what stream it is. The dominant reformed and neo reformed spaces, the general conservative nondenominational, or southern Baptist vibe, or the so-called moderate neoanabaptist spaces, or the huffy schismatic anglivan splinters #evangelicals 2/x

The need to “appear” isn’t solely a personality structure in the discrete individual person. It’s also a demand and product of the church social system that forms the person too. Leaders are products of these communities. 1/x

Nobody seems to ever want to interrogate the fact that groups called churches create their leaders by virtue of their collective beliefs/demands/values/expectations. It’s not an outside infection of an otherwise neutral or righteous group of people called “church”. 2/x

Let's talk about why we need to acknowledge this, even within religious contexts. #evangelicals 2/8 Understanding #trauma means understanding the brain. Neuroplasticity shows our experiences, including trauma, literally reshape our brains. It's not 'all in your head,' it's 'also in your brain.' This isn't a matter of faith or opinion, it's established science. #evangelicals

LET'S EXPLORE🌿Understanding #Grief🌿 The Dual Process Model of grief, developed by Margaret Stroebe and Henk Schut, suggests that grief is a dynamic process of oscillating between 2 types of coping: loss-oriented, restoration-oriented. 1/10 💔Loss-Orientation💔 involves focusing on the pain of losing a loved one.
