Growing up as a Christian and walking with the Lord, Antwann Harper thought that showing any sign of struggle would dishonor God. He presented himself as whole and would take on the emotional burdens of friends and family. Antwann’s smile and laughter were masking pain he didn’t know he was hiding. A son of an emotionally and verbally abusive alcoholic, Antwann found out first hand how powerful and sneaky the trauma can be. Join us as we talk about how he silently suffered and the years of healing he has walked. Be ready to laugh with us and hopefully find your own path to healing.
- Having a strong relationship with God can help navigate challenges and provide a sense of purpose and identity.
- Verbal and psychological abuse can have long-lasting effects on a person's self-esteem and mental well-being.
- Healing from past trauma and seeking professional help can lead to personal growth and self-discovery.
- Resilience and the ability to overcome adversity are essential in building a fulfilling and meaningful life. Setting boundaries in friendships is important to avoid being taken advantage of and to prioritize one's own well-being.
- It is important not to blame God for the actions of flawed humans and to recognize that God is always there for us.
- Treating each other with care and kindness is essential, as we are all fearfully and wonderfully made by God.
- Recognizing the value and uniqueness of every individual and the impact we have on each other is crucial in building a compassionate and inclusive community.
- Sharing our stories and using our pain to help others is a powerful way to heal and make a difference.
- Trusting God's plan and recognizing the impact we can have on others is key to finding purpose and fulfillment. Trust in God's plan and don't try to control or second-guess it
