Ike Miller (PhD, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School) leads Bright City
Church in Durham, North Carolina. He has written about the intersection of theology, mental health, and family of origin issues in outlets such as Christianity Today and Missio Alliance.
Ike Miller grew up in a dysfunctional home, and the trauma of his past continued to affect his relationships as an adult. But through a process of healing and understanding, Ike learned to let go of the negative habits and mindsets he developed as a child while leveraging his experience to pursue healthy
relationships.
After confronting the impact of his own childhood, including a family history of substance use disorders, Ike has developed a passion for helping others who grew up in difficult circumstances to better understand how those environments continue to impact them and their relationships now.
Good Baggage: How Your Difficult Childhood Prepared You for Healthy Relationships is Ike’s practical guide for navigating that journey. Drawing on scriptural wisdom, psychology and personal experience, Ike helps us understand how our traumatic childhood continues to affect us in ways we may not even realize.
