Bring Your Mud
Faith, trauma, and the stories we tell about God.
About Bring Your Mud
Bring Your Mud is dedicated to helping individuals navigate the intersection of faith, trauma, and healing. We understand that trauma can profoundly impact how we experience God, trust His direction, and interpret His word. Our mission is to provide trauma-informed Christian counseling and education that helps you distinguish between God's conviction and the shame, fear, and pride that often arise from a traumatized nervous system. Your story matters, and that healing begins when you bring your whole self, including your pain, your mud, your uncertainty, your anger, into the light.
Through our comprehensive offerings of books, workshops, church trainings, and speaking engagements, we address the existential faith-based questions that matter most: How do I trust God after what I have experienced? How do I know if this is conviction or shame? We work with individuals and faith communities to understand how traumatized nervous systems may misread threat and reenactment in Scripture, and we provide practical tools for reclaiming a healthy, authentic relationship with God.
