This course is for those who must preach in the wake of mass trauma. ‘Preaching on Fractured Ground’ is designed to help pastors and other leaders prepare sermons for “holding the reality of brokenness, pain, and traumatic loss on one side and hope, resurrection, and redemption on the other.” This course includes two sermon forms for preaching in the wake of mass trauma, and engages lament to honor narrative fracture while attending to brokenness and not losing sight of hope. *Quote taken from “Fractured Ground” by Kimberly R. Wagner.
