Our passion is to thoughtfully comment and bring awareness, tools and resources for helping unravel complex trauma with the Body of Christ. We do this through podcasting, workshops, pastoral counsel, and the Word of God.
As children of God, Allison Miller and Gerard MacLellan collaborate to bring increased understanding of the wounds of trauma through their unique life experiences and personal journeys of healing through the love of Christ. Our desire is to bring a fresh perspective for living wholeheartedly.
It was an honor and blessing to speak last Friday evening at the Ladies Ice Cream Social at Calvary Chapel, a place where Truth, love and grace are exemplified. This door of opportunity was opened by listening to God's whispers in the middle of a message delivered there. It's a blessing to share the powerful way God led me out of the wilderness and into a life fulfilling the purpose He has for me, as well and sharing with others how complex trauma impacts the way we interact with the world.
