WELCOME TO DAY THREE!
Welcome back!
Start watching session videos below. Feel free to watch them in any order you'd like. Each session comes with a description, speaker bio, and links & resources.*
I do want to provide a general CW/TW for all sessions. Since this is a summit focused on recovery from abuse and trauma, assume that we will talk about trauma and abuse regularly. Some speakers may go into detail about their spiritual, emotional, or sexual abuse. Others may talk about suicidal ideation or attempts. If you need to take space for yourself, please do so.
Remember: these sessions expire after 36 hours!

Join us for our Live Community Call!
Attending a virtual summit doesn't mean we can't create opportunities to meet other people and cultivate community.
Join us each night of the Summit to meet and find others across the world who share your experiences, are looking for help and resources, and desiring a safe place to be seen and heard. We may have some guest speakers joining us each call to meet and hear from you, and to answer your questions.
Plan for just about an hour together, and feel free to come late or leave early. Mostly, I want you to know and see—you are not alone.
You're welcome to join as many calls as you'd like. Click the button below to join the call on Zoom at 9p EST.

In her Summit session, Kate Boyd discusses how to create renewed spiritual rhythms and stay tethered to your faith.

Give Me Jesus, Not the Church: Returning to Community After Spiritual Abuse
with Colleen Ramser, LPC
After losing a community due to spiritual abuse, the natural response is to isolate. However, in her Summit session, Colleen Ramser shares her personal story of how there came a moment where the pain of being alone and without community was greater than the risk of starting over. She talks about how to gradually put yourself in spaces where you can build up your capacity to trust and be vulnerable again.
Bio
Colleen Ramser, M.A., is an EMDR-certified licensed professional counselor (LPC), speaker, and author who meets Christ-followers at the intersection of trauma and faith. She is a sought-after trauma specialist - particularly on issues of spiritual abuse and domestic abuse - who has spent years journeying with souls in the Church and within the scope of her clinical practice. Colleen also frequently speaks to pastors, ministry leaders, organizations, and other mental health professionals who desire to help survivors individually and by addressing systemic harm. She has appeared on podcasts such as Christianity Today’s The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill and The Slow Work, and as a survivor of trauma, Colleen is a compassionate witness on the journey, bringing not only her clinical expertise but a deep knowing of dark nights and the breath of new mercies.
Her first book – for survivors recovering from spiritual trauma – will be published by Tyndale Refresh in 2025. Colleen lives in Louisville, KY, with her husband and two kids and enjoys being swallowed up by God’s beautiful landscapes and catching a good pun.

Engaging Your Family of Origin Story
with Adam Young, LCSW
What do formative stories have to do with spiritual abuse? In Adam Young’s Summit session he explains how there are experiences from childhood that everyone carries with them into adulthood. Stories of harm left unexplored impact how we lead, engage conflict, and navigate intimate relationships; whereas, stories explored—in the context of a safe community—free us to live into our God-given glory, desire, and ability to build secure relationships.Â
