One of the hardest truths to accept is this:
we may never fully understand why certain hard things happened.

Job never received a full explanation for his suffering.
Instead, God reminded Job of something greater—
that He is still sovereign, faithful, and worthy to be trusted.

“Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, And to depart from evil is understanding” — Job 28:28

There is peace in surrendering our need to understand everything and choosing instead to trust the One who holds all things together.

💛 Our SiT Team wants to send a heartfelt thank you to all of the volunteers, board members, advisors, mentors, and supporters who help make this ministry possible.

Sanctuary in Trauma would not exist without people willing to serve, encourage, pray, lead, give, and walk faithfully alongside this mission. Every role matters, and every act of service helps bring Christ-centered hope to women who are hurting.

“…every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.” — Ephesians 4:16

We appreciate YOU more than words can say. ✝️

🎉 What did the SiT team do last week?

We painted our brand-new office space! 💛

After years of meeting in homes, coffee shops, churches, and borrowed spaces, it was such a joy to begin making this office a home for Sanctuary in Trauma. We are excited about all the ways God will use this space as we continue to equip churches, support Trainers, and serve women who are hurting.

A special thank you to Love Your Neighbor, a local ministry that generously curated and donated all of our office furniture second-hand. Their kindness and support have been such a blessing as we prepare this space for ministry.

📅 **Save the Date!**
Join us for our Open House on Saturday, July 18, from 1:00–3:00 PM as we celebrate this new chapter for Sanctuary in Trauma. We would love for you to stop by, see the space, and celebrate God's faithfulness with us!

Job’s suffering did not mean God had abandoned him.
And your suffering does not mean God has abandoned you either.

In the middle of overwhelming pain, David cried:
“When my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.” — Psalm 61:2

God does not ask us to pretend we are okay.
He invites us to bring our grief, questions, and fears to Him—and trust that He remains steady even when life is not.

Sometimes the hardest part of trauma is not just the pain itself—but the questions that come with it.
Why did this happen?
Where is God in this?
Will things ever feel steady again?

Scripture never tells us we can’t ask questions. Even Job wrestled deeply with grief, confusion, and sorrow. But in the middle of it all, he came back to this truth:

“I know that You can do everything…” — Job 42:2

Peace is not always found in having answers.
Sometimes it is found in remembering who God is. 💛

We’re offering an Accelerated SiT Session designed specifically for those who want to take the next step in bringing Christ-centered trauma care to their communities.

This accelerated session allows you to experience the heart and tools of SiT while preparing for future training. We believe in doing the work ourselves first—and this is where that journey begins.

📅 Session Options:
• Thursdays from 6–8 PM starting June 4th
• Thursdays from 10 AM–12 PM starting June 11th

If you have a heart to walk alongside women who are hurting and want to learn how to lead a SiT Session in your church or ministry, we would love for you to join us.

It’s easy to let our anger turn toward the person who hurt us.
But Scripture calls us to something higher.

“Love your enemies… pray for those who spitefully use you.” — Matthew 5:44

This doesn’t mean ignoring wrong or allowing harm.
It means recognizing that sin is the problem—not the person.

When we shift our focus, we begin to respond with truth, wisdom, and Christ-centered love—
instead of reacting in ways that cause more damage.

This is not easy.
But it is the path that leads to healing, peace, and freedom. 💛

Reconciliation and restoration are dependent on repentance and forgiveness.

Scripture shows us how to restore one who is walking in sin:
“If a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness...” — Galatians 6:1a

Truth, gentleness, humility and a repentant heart are required for restoration.
And in the midst, God calls all of us to guard ourselves.

Your healing is not dependent on another person's apology.
It is dependent on our obedience to Christ.

In our latest blog, we walk through what it means to move forward when reconciliation doesn’t happen—and how God rebuilds what was broken, even when relationships look different.

Anger is often rooted in real pain—
betrayal, loss, injustice, or being unseen.

God doesn’t ask us to ignore it.
He invites us to bring it to Him.

“Cast all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.” — 1 Peter 5:7

As we surrender our anger to Christ, He begins to transform it—
from something that wounds others
into something that leads to truth, healing, and peace.
