This is a good place to continue an important discussion going on online. It’s good because it’s visual, and many of us are visual in the way we perceive or learn. I’m loving the guest interviews too. After Graham Ord’s, I’m digging out some material I read back then about cPTSD
Hi Sam I've just been recommended your channel on my newsfeed, so glad to have found it! Thank you for your honesty, I'm looking forward to seeing more of your journey. I grew up at Romford Baptist, unless you're a different Sam Howson i think we have people in common. Hope you and the family are all doing well.
Love the moving the table analogy! So true. It shows the difference between the energy (and impatience, perhaps) of youth, compared with our older selves, which understands human nature more. Or perhaps age makes space for human nature more is a better way to put it. But it would a shame to dismiss that youth - I think there’s value in both the patience and the impatience. Definitely there are times when change is fast and furious.
I’ve been thinking a bit more about this - to what extent do you think the problems and trauma you have experienced might stem from the relative youth of the leadership? I’m just wondering whether the church perhaps handed power over to relatively inexperienced leaders in their eagerness to cater for youth?

I'd like to explore PTSD more in this context too

such good questions - i think character is more important than age.
@ yes, I think that is true, but when we are young, character is relatively untested, and I wonder how that might be addressed?
