In this week’s installment of the Traumatized series, Pastor Khalid addresses relational trauma—how past emotional, psychological, physical, or spiritual harm can impact our ability to form and sustain healthy relationships. Drawing from Ecclesiastes 4:9-12, he teaches that we are designed for community, and that partnership and connection with others not only support our healing but also increase our productivity and effectiveness.

Pastor Khalid returns with the latest installment of our Traumatized series! This week, he explores the story of Gideon—a man willing to serve but uncertain about his calling. Through conversation and confirmation from God, Gideon learned that obedience is the key to overcoming uncertainty. His response wasn’t just building an altar—it was working while waiting and trusting God in the process.

He emphasizes that maximizing your gift requires participation, every contribution matters, and diversity within the body leads to unity.

In Part 10 of our Traumatized series, I Have What I Need (1 Corinthians 12), Pastor Khalid reminds us that God has equipped each believer with spiritual gifts for His glory. Too often, we become traumatized by criticism for not having certain gifts, by coveting the gifts and outcomes of others, or by comparing ourselves to those around us. This message calls us back to confidence in Christ — knowing that we already have what we need in Him.
