WELCOME TO DAY TWO!

Welcome back to Day Two of the 2026 Annual Summit!

I'm so glad you're here. We have some amazing speakers and sessions in store for you and I can't wait for you to hear them.

If you were here yesterday, I’d love to hear your biggest takeaways from the sessions. Head over to Instagram and leave a comment on the Day 1 post, or send an email to [email protected]. I read every comment and email, and always appreciate the time you take to write them.

I want to give you another reminder to be gentle with yourself. The sessions cover a lot, and can be a lot to take in. Pace yourself. If you need to take a break, take it. This is not something you need to force yourself or white-knuckle your way through. Be kind and gracious as you approach the materials today.

If you’re looking for a way to find language for your experience, understand what happened to you, and what you can do about it, all while finding a safe community to do this sacred work together, then consider joining the THROUGH Cohort, which launches in February after Summit. You can sign up for the waitlist today, and applications open this Friday.

As always, if you have any questions, comments, or feedback, head over to our Instagram page or send an email to [email protected].

Enjoy the sessions, and I’ll see you at the Community Call! Join us at the link below to meet some of our speakers, find community, share your insights and takeaways, and ask your questions.

Sin or Development: Untangling Spiritual Abuse from Childhood Formation

with Meaghan Hampton

 

In this conversation, therapist and faith-integrated educator Megan Hampton explores how shame-based theology and fear-driven parenting can mislabel normal child development as sin—fueling chronic shame and dysregulation. She explains how the brain and nervous system develop, why connection and co-regulation must come before correction, and how “first-time obedience” and spanking function as control metrics that teach fear rather than wisdom. Megan also addresses theological misuses and how these frameworks shape children’s God image, often sacrificing relationship on the altar of obedience.

Listeners will learn practical, compassionate alternatives rooted in both developmental science and Christian faith: scaffolding expectations, reading dysregulation cues, using curiosity over urgency, and repairing rather than demanding perfection. Megan offers concrete tools—pausing to notice sensations in the body, borrowing regulation through calm presence, trying “do the opposite” (DBT), and processing triggers as inner-child wounds rather than child defiance. The session emphasizes empathy for previous generations, assurance that warmth does not mitigate corporal punishment’s harm, and a hopeful path forward where parents act from faith instead of fear, prioritize long-term maturity and relationship, and extend to themselves the same grace they want to give their kids.

Bio

Meaghan Hampton, MACC, LPC-Associate, is a Christian counselor and founder of Soul Care for Families, where she equips parents with psychologically informed, theologically grounded tools for raising emotionally healthy, spiritually rooted children. Through her online presence and practical resources, Meaghan helps families move from fear-based parenting to connection, compassion, and Christ-centered transformation. She lives in Texas with her husband and two children.

Your Shame is Lying to You: Freedom, Repair, & the Gospel

with Rev. Dr. Erin Moniz

 

In this conversation, chaplain Erin Moniz explores how shame quietly distorts our “trust metric,” sabotaging vulnerability and intimacy even when we know what healthy relationships require. She distinguishes shame from guilt, and shows how Jesus meets shame by reasserting true identity and belonging.

Listeners will learn practical pathways to freedom: starting with Jesus and the story of God (even through adjacent stories when Scripture feels unsafe), pursue proportional repair and clear boundaries, reject forced reconciliation without repentance, and leaning into trusted community as a “community of remembrance.”

Bio

Rev. Erin F. Moniz (DMin, Trinity School for Ministry) is the author of Knowing & Being Known: Hope for All Our Intimate Relationships. She is a deacon in the Anglican Church in North America and Associate Chaplain and Director for Chapel at Baylor University, where she disciples emerging adults and journeys with them toward healthy, gospel-centered relationships. She is a trained conciliator, mediator, and conflict coach. She lives in Waco, Texas, with her husband, Michael.

The Ache in Our Scars

with Michelle Van Loon

 

The resources available today to victims of spiritual abuse are a gift to victims and survivors who find themselves processing trauma and betrayal. That processing is an ongoing project in the lives of those of us who continue to journey with those scars.

This session explores the lasting effects of spiritual abuse in our lives and relationships from the point of view of a long-term survivor. Our scars are signs that a wound has occurred and that healing and integration continues to unfold in our story. Those scars continue to tell a holy, important story about wisdom, resilience, and spiritual strength.

Bio

Michelle Van Loon’s writing is shaped by her deeply rooted faith in Christ, secular Jewish heritage, spiritual hunger, and storyteller’s sensibilities. Her eight books include Downsizing: Letting Go of Evangelicalism's Nonessentials, Translating Your Past: Finding Meaning in Family Stories, Genetic Clues, and Generational Trauma and Becoming Sage: Cultivating Meaning, Purpose, and Spirituality in Midlife. Her work has been published in a wide variety of outlets including Christianity Today magazine, Plough.com, and In Touch ministries.

What is Soul Care & How Does It Work?

with Mallory Wyckoff

 

In this conversation, theologian and practitioner Mallory Wyckoff defines soul care through the lens of trauma-informed spiritual formation. Mallory guides listeners into brief breath practices and reframes healing as alignment with an already-present “settled presence” or soul—the unchanging, image-of-God core within. She contrasts external fixes with internal orientation, suggests love and healing move “with the grain of the universe,” and connects this to parts work. Healing, she says, begins by anchoring in that core and then compassionately engaging the parts carrying fear, anger, or hypervigilance.

Listeners will learn how settling is foundational to healing, how to meet intense emotions with curiosity rather than judgment, and practical entry points: breath awareness, gentle body scans, journaling, and supportive companions.

Bio

Mallory Wyckoff (DMin, MTS, MA) is a writer, speaker, spiritual director, and peacemaker. She is associate director of philanthropy communications with Search for Common Ground, the world’s largest organization dedicated to peacebuilding. She is also the co-founder and co-director of The Healing Collective, which creates spaces and opportunities for healing from religious trauma. Through The Healing Collective's Center for Spiritual Formation, she trains individuals to become certified spiritual directors through a trauma-informed curriculum. As part of her doctoral program in missional and spiritual formation, Mallory’s dissertation explored the impact of sexual trauma on survivors’ theological perception and spiritual formation—an inquiry that continues to inform her work at every turn.

In all her work, Mallory creates spaces and content that help people access themselves and their spirituality with curiosity, honesty, and courage. She lives with her husband, daughters, and a million retirees in St. Petersburg, Florida.
