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?
Do you want to learn to give language to your pain and hurt? To discover a path through the pain to healing and wholeness? Are you looking for 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.
Our Annual Summit is held each January.
Hello, Wounded One.
4 days of speakers validating your experience and moving you toward healing and wholeness
➔ Do you wonder if you'll ever find a safe space for faith again?

➔ Do you feel you stuck with old triggers and carrying the pain of your past?
➔ What if you could gain practical steps to move forward with your faith and life?

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.
