Reason #7: Spiritually Neglected People Don't Know How to Create Spiritual Comfort
Here's the thing: We can’t offer what we’ve never received — until we learn how.
For the next seven days, we’ll explore the Christian-specific patterns that shape how both trained and untrained counselors respond to resistance, power, and emotional need. But we have to start here.
Most people drawn to faith-based care work — whether they’re licensed or lay leaders — are trying to offer something they didn’t receive.
That’s not just noble. It’s revealing.
The sad truth is this: many of today’s Christian helpers are victims of spiritual neglect.
And the way they approach faith and mental health is profoundly shaped by that neglect.
Because neglect isn’t just about what happened.
It’s about what didn’t.
What wasn’t safe to say, that you now don't have an answer for.
What wasn’t asked, that you now have to process with those you serve.
What wasn’t protected, that you now must defend.
What wasn’t nurtured, that you now must empower.
The beauty of the Gospel we seek to live out is this:
We are given complete redemption, justification, and citizenship in Christ — even if we were never taught the fullness of His safety, even if we still carry the impact of lies we believed.
And here’s the truth many Christian leaders need to hear:
It’s not just what you’ve taught or said that matters.
What’s more concerning is what you’ve never learned to notice.
Because what you can’t recognize, you can’t repair.
When leaders (clinically licensed or not) have never received emotional safety in the Christian context, it shows in the depth to which they can comfort and bring liberation around faith's challenging questions.
Trauma-Informed Spiritual Intervention® helps break that cycle. You are not destined to repeat what harmed you. You are invited to become what you needed.
