In this episode of 15:14, Lakin interviews Curtis Solomon about his latest book, I Have PTSD, in front of a live audience at the Bookstore at Southern. Anyone who experiences a traumatic event feels confused, lost, out of control, unsure, and unsteady—disoriented. This kind of suffering leaves marks, sometimes on the body, always on the soul, and sometimes both. In I Have PTSD, Solomon helps both those who have suffered trauma, as well as their loved ones,  to understand the physical, emotional, and spiritual effects of trauma, while offering gospel hope and practical ways to make that hope real in their lives.     Learn more about the new Southern Seminary MDiv at sbts.edu/newmdiv.   Support 15:14 – A Podcast of the Biblical Counseling Coalition today at biblicalcounselingcoalition.org/donate.
