On Mission Insights Podcast

What happens when childhood trauma shows up years later in your ministry? How do you keep leading when grief and brokenness feel overwhelming? And what if the very pain you’ve been trying to avoid is the place God wants to bring healing? In this episode, Dr. Brad Johnson joins Eric Miller for a powerful conversation on unhealed wounds, grief, and the cycles that repeat “over and over” until we let Jesus transform them. From heartbreaking loss to the moment God lifted the heaviness of grief, Brad shares how leaders can walk honestly through trauma while still modeling faith for their people. If you’ve ever wondered, "can I keep leading while I’m hurting?" Or "what does healing really look like for pastors and ministry leaders?" — this conversation is for you. Visit Dr. Brad's website
