11 What does a STORM look like? At intervals between a bomb falling it sounded like church: voices from nearby slit trenches all chanting the Lord s prayer together- over and over again. Louder when the bombs hit closer. Veteran Army Air Forces Bombardier and Olympic Runner Louie Zamperini as recorded in Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand, page 117 2/12/2014 RFD LLC

14 Class #2 HUMPTY DUMPTY Nature of Trauma Bob Dees 2/12/2014 RFD LLC
15 Defining Trauma Trauma = Wound, Damage, or Defeat A traumatic situation is one involving an actual or threatened death or serious injury. A somewhat clinical explanation Until it happens to you Why Me? Why Now? How could you let this happen, Lord? 2/12/2014 RFD LLC
16 Common Misconceptions About PAIN PAIN IS PUNISHMENT (versus John 9:1-5) PAIN IS UNPRODUCTIVE (versus James 1:2-4, et al) PAIN INDICATES SPIRITUAL FAILURE (Paul?, Job?, Peter?) PAIN IS NOT GOOD (versus Romans 8:28,35,37) PAIN IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH A GOOD AND ALL-POWERFUL GOD Our investigation of resilience will illustrate how God s goodness, omnipresence, and omnipotence provide courage and confidence as we struggle with pain in our lives.

39 Know Your Enemy Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me. Or he will tear my soul like a lion. Psalm 7: 1,2 Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. I Peter 5:8 Know Your Equipment But resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world. After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. 2 Peter 5:9,10 Armor of God: Ephesians 6: Be Strong in the Lord 2/12/2014 RFD LLC

41 Deploy with Right Mindset For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace. Romans 8:6 For Ezra had set his heart to study the law of the Lord and to practice it, and to teach His statutes and ordinances Israel. Ezra 7:10 Mindset is inextricably linked with Heartset King Jehosophat s deployment (putting Levites out front in battle formation) reflected both his mindset and his heartset. 2 Chronicles 20 2/12/2014 RFD LLC
