Overcoming Trauma with Cathy Applington | Episode 190

No More Perfect Podcast with Jill Savage

Mar 19 2024 • 45 mins

How do you respond when someone else’s choices wreak havoc on your life?

Sometimes, someone else's choices can turn the lives of those closest to them upside down. I've certainly experienced that in my own life, and yet, even in the most unfair circumstances, God wastes nothing.

Today, my friend Cathy Applington is joining me to help us better understand how hope can be restored even when relationships can't. In 2013, Cathy’s world was shaken to the core as her husband’s actions caused life-changing consequences for her and her family. Cathy was a pastor's wife here in Normal, IL, and today she works with Sanctuary in Trauma, a ministry for women who have suffered from trauma and loss.

In this episode, we talk about:

  • A passage in Scripture that held Cathy steady when her world was falling apart
  • Allowing family members space to heal from trauma in their own way
  • How Cathy’s journey led to the creation of Sanctuary in Trauma
  • And more!

I know you’ll appreciate Cathy’s wisdom as much as I do!
