About this listen

 Join me for engaging and challenging conversations about how culture impacts our ability to perceive and process trauma—and how we navigate our faith through cultural boundaries and expectations. Each of us has a story, shaped and influenced by the culture we live in. Culture can be defined by a country, a people group, a church, or even your community. The way we view pain, trauma, and difficulties is often filtered through those cultural lenses—sometimes helping us heal, and other times keeping us silent. In this podcast, we’ll explore what it means to process tragedy in Christ and with Christ—beyond the noise of cultural norms. You’ll hear honest stories, faith-filled insights, and practical conversations that remind us healing doesn’t mean forgetting—it means allowing God to rewrite our story with His truth. If you’ve ever wrestled with the tension between faith and culture, or wondered how to find peace and purpose after pain, this space is for you. Subscribe and join the conversation as we explore how to prioritize Christ above culture, discover hope beyond the silence, and experience the freedom of faith-filled healing.2025 Elsa John Christianity Ministry & Evangelism Spirituality
