#Genesis 45; Exodus 14; Matthew 11:28-30# Ken Dyck's main point is that unresolved trauma can control our lives, but God offers healing and freedom. He shares his grandmother's story of being left alone at a train station at age 4 and how it affected her life, as well as his own experience of being bullied and feeling alone at age 12. Ken emphasizes that trauma is subjective and can be caused by various events, and that our responses to trauma are often influenced by our personality, environment, and past experiences. He provides a chart to help process trauma, which involves identifying the event, the resulting emotions, the interpretation of the event, and the lies we believed as a result. Ken encourages listeners to ask the Holy Spirit to reveal the truth and to surrender their painful memories to God. Key insights include: * Trauma can be caused by various events, and our responses to trauma are often influenced by our personality, environment, and past experiences. * Unresolved trauma can control our lives, but God offers healing and freedom. * Forgiveness is not always the first step in healing from trauma; rather, it's a process that involves identifying the lies we believed and surrendering them to God. * Salvation means being set free, made whole, and delivered, not just going to heaven. * God can use our traumatic experiences to accomplish good, not just for us, but for our families and others.
