Joyful Life

Trauma can change the way we see ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us. But how do we face the realities of pain and suffering while holding on to faith and hope? On this episode of Joyful Life, Rich and Patrice welcome in-studio guest Denise Schmeer for a thoughtful conversation about trauma and the challenges people face when confronting painful experiences.

Together, they explore the realities of trauma, its impact on our emotional and spiritual well-being, and the importance of finding a path toward healing. Through compassionate conversation, counseling insight, and a faith-centered perspective, this episode offers encouragement for those navigating difficult seasons and for those seeking to better understand and support others who have experienced trauma.
Even when life brings us face-to-face with painful realities, we can find hope in God's presence, strength through His grace, and encouragement as we take steps toward healing.
