They touch our families, our friendships, our churches, our communities. And in the Bible, none of this is minimised or dismissed.

We consider how trauma can profoundly shape a person without disqualifying them from meaning or purpose, and what it looks like to trust God even in seasons when His presence feels distant. Ultimately, we explore how the cross and resurrection offer a hope strong enough to meet us in our darkest nights.</p><br><p>If you're wrestling with your mind, or loving someone who is, my prayer is that this episode offers dignity, language, and real hope.</p><p><strong>You are not alone.

From leadership lessons and personal setbacks to the tension between supernatural calling and earthly outcomes, together, Amy and Ben discuss the spiritual and practical side of leadership, the emotional toll of failure, and the kind of resilience that doesn’t give up.

This episode provides fresh insight into how the Christian faith can uniquely sustain and guide leaders as they face their own challenges, while offering comfort and healing to those they lead. Whether you're a leader seeking to understand trauma or a Christian navigating the complexities of faith and leadership, this episode is filled with wisdom, encouragement, and practical tools for leading with grace and resilience.</p><br><p>Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share for more empowering conversations every week.</p><br><p><strong>More Resources:</strong></p><p>📖 Shop Amy's book Lead Like The Real You:&nbsp;<a href="https://amzn.to/4fBjo1k" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://amzn.to/4fBjo1k</a></p><p>📖 Shop Mary's Voice: <a href="https://amzn.to/4gpzKJS" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://amzn.to/4gpzKJS</a></p><p>📸 Instagram:<a href="https://open.acast.com/instagram.com/amyorrewing" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> instagram.com/amyorrewing</a></p><p>📘 Facebook: <a href="https://open.acast.com/facebook.com/amyorrewing.online" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">facebook.com/amyorrewing.online</a></p><p>▶️ Watch on YouTube: <a href="https://open.acast.com/youtube.com/amyorr-ewing" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">youtube.com/amyorr-ewing</a></p><p>✉️ Contact: <a href="https://open.acast.com/amyorr-ewing.com/contact" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">amyorr-ewing.com/contact</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

While Frog is a unique guest on this otherwise female-led podcast, his personal experiences and insights offer profound wisdom for both men and women in leadership. Together, Amy and Frog discuss the&nbsp;5 F's of trauma response—Fight, Flight, Freeze, Fawn, and Flop—examining how leaders can recognize these responses in themselves and those they lead. As Christian leaders, they emphasize the importance of sensitivity, compassion, and seeing the image of God in those we serve, especially in times of trauma and difficulty.</p><br><p>Building on the themes of Amy’s book&nbsp;<em>Lead Like The Real You</em>, they discuss:</p><ul><li>The importance of trauma-informed leadership, including the impact of trauma on decision-making, leading teams and relationships,</li><li>How leaders can be more empathetic and understanding while maintaining strength and integrity in their role</li><li>Jesus as the traumatised Saviour, who understands fully the traumas of our world, and who not only leads us, but walks alongside us both in our trauma and our healing.</li></ul><p><br></p><p>Amy also reflects on her personal leadership journey, including how trauma and adversity have shaped her approach to leadership over the last 25+ years. This episode provides fresh insight into how the Christian faith can uniquely sustain and guide leaders as they face their own challenges, while offering comfort and healing to those they lead. Whether you're a leader seeking to understand trauma or a Christian navigating the complexities of faith and leadership, this episode is filled with wisdom, encouragement, and practical tools for leading with grace and resilience.</p><br><p>Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share for more empowering conversations every week.</p><br><p><strong>More Resources:</strong></p><p>📖 Shop Amy's book Lead Like The Real You:&nbsp;<a href="https://amzn.to/4fBjo1k" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://amzn.to/4fBjo1k</a></p><p>📖 Shop Mary's Voice: <a href="https://amzn.to/4gpzKJS" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://amzn.to/4gpzKJS</a></p><p>📸 Instagram:<a href="https://open.acast.com/instagram.com/amyorrewing" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> instagram.com/amyorrewing</a></p><p>📘 Facebook: <a href="https://open.acast.com/facebook.com/amyorrewing.online" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">facebook.com/amyorrewing.online</a></p><p>▶️ Watch on YouTube: <a href="https://open.acast.com/youtube.com/amyorr-ewing" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">youtube.com/amyorr-ewing</a></p><p>✉️ Contact: <a href="https://open.acast.com/amyorr-ewing.com/contact" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">amyorr-ewing.com/contact</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
