In this episode, Dr. Mo continues the series, Resurrection and Relationships. She focuses on when we find ourselves as the victims of betrayal trauma.

Betrayal trauma is defined as trauma inflicted by someone close to us. Betrayal trauma not only causes psychological distress but also physiological distress. Feelings such as shame, anxiety, humiliation, and anger are a few that people can experience as a result of betrayal trauma.

Tune in to this episode as we think about how Jesus might be inviting us to resurrect our lives after we have been broken through betrayal. We will discuss what do we do when there might be no hope for reconciliation.

Happy Mother’s Day! Grace be unto you for the varied emotions this day evokes.

In this episode, Dr. Mo further discusses Jesus and relationships, namely with His mother, Mary. Dr. Mo reads from John 19:25-27 where we see Jesus hanging on the cross and Mary standing there nearby. Moments before Jesus gives up His spirit; He assures His mother’s provision.

Jesus even in His anguish and trauma, looked at His mother and speaks to her directly. He entrusts the care of His mother to the disciple, John. The word “Behold” in the Greek means to see. It also means to observe carefully.

Tune in to this episode as we think about how Jesus might be inviting us to carefully observe our mothers, whether they are still living or have passed from this earthly life. Even in the various complexities this day holds for many, there are insights to consider as we look at Jesus as He beholds His mother.

In this episode, Dr. Mo further discusses the relationships between Jesus and His disciples.

Dr. Mo reads from Luke 22:54-62 and focuses on Peter and the relationship with himself. In Luke 22:61-62, Peter remembers and realizes as soon as Jesus looks at Him, Jesus’ prophecy that Peter would deny him.

Peter had to come face to face with himself in that moment. The Scripture says he wept bitterly - which means he wailed loudly and violently. He denied and betrayed His Lord. Betrayal trauma is defined as interpersonal trauma perpetrated by someone close to them. Betrayal trauma causes psychological distress for the victims of such abuse. And Peter enacted betrayal trauma upon the Son of Man, His friend, His Master, His Lord.

Tune in to this episode as we think about how we need to have a face to face with Self when we come into an awareness of betraying another, especially someone who is close and dear to us. As we continue to celebrate the Resurrection, may we be careful to pause and ponder what we stand in need of by way of Redemption as we acknowledge and confess our betrayals of others.
