SUPPORT OUR WORK

Designed to help the wounded and hurting to find practical pathways toward healing and wholeness.

Have you experienced hurt, abuse, or trauma at the hands of the church or its leadership?

Do you want to:

  • stop feeling hurt, isolated, alone, or even crazy?
  • learn to give language to your pain and hurt
  • discover a path through the pain to healing and wholeness?
  • find a community of people who will hear and understand you?

Learn how to manage your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors from the comfort of your own home, on your own schedule with the Broken to Beloved Summit!

The Broken to Beloved Summit is held annually in January in recognition of Spiritual Abuse Awareness Month. Featuring authors, therapists, pastors, spiritual directors, and more, the Summit provides practical tools to help you move toward healing and wholeness.

 

 

What to Expect

  • A safe space to feel seen and understood

  • Hear from experts, trusted voices, and compassionate guides

  • Gain clear language to name your experience and discover a path forward

  • Learn to shift your identity from broken to beloved

Registration for the Summit is absolutely free. You'll get access to each day's sessions in your inbox, with 36 hours to watch the sessions. You'll also receive invitations to join us for live community and Q&A calls, chances to meet some of our speakers, live Bonus Sessions, and more.

If you don't have the time to watch all the sessions, you can always get an All Access Pass for lifetime access to the session recordings.

Meet Your Host

Hi, I'm Brian! I'm a pastor, coach, and speaker.

I'm also a fellow spiritual abuse and religious trauma survivor.

After a three-peat of spiritually abusive environments at the hands of self-ignorant and sometimes toxic leadership, it was time to step away from those places for my health and sanity. To quote one of my favorite movies, "I have seen enough to know I have seen too much." (Bonus points if you know the reference.)

Thanks to a few years of counseling and the compassionate witness of others, I've started processing my history of carrying 10+ years of the C-PTSD that came with my experience with spiritual abuse and religious trauma as a pastor.

I discovered my own agency and finally felt empowered to make choices for myself, rather than taking a passive role in my own story. With the launch of our Cohort and Summit, Broken to Beloved was born.

Today, I'm honored to be your host and guide through the process of moving through the pain and grief of our stories toward healing and wholeness.

You may be broken, but you are also beloved. And there's room for you here.
