210. Trauma Informed Church ft Carla Arges

If you’ve ever wondered whether your past pain disqualifies you from God’s purpose, this conversation will breathe hope into your heart.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Carla Arges, Christian mental health coach, podcast host of Affirming Truths, and a woman who has walked through bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, and childhood trauma. Carla’s story is one of redemption: how God met her in the middle of her brokenness, renewed her mind with His truth, and continues to use every piece of her journey for His glory.

Together, we talk about:

  • How trauma shapes our core beliefs and how God reshapes them with truth
  • What it means to renew your mind daily through Scripture
  • Moving from shame into restoration and freedom
  • Practical first steps if you feel stuck in old patterns

Friend, God can use all of your story. I pray this episode reminds you that you are not disqualified—you are deeply loved and called to walk in freedom.
