"Evil wields shame to destroy us." – Dr. Curt Thompson
Shame destories God's narrative of beauty and goodness in our lives.
"God restores us by restorying us." – Dr. James K. A. Smith

The Hope-Brained Way sets about the mission of mending emotional brokenness with the gospel

catalyzing hope by resourcing restory

to help people “reinterpret brokenness” in the content of their stories,

in the context of God’s story and in community with others’ stories,

for the purpose of communicating a better story of reconciliation, regeneration, redemption and restoration.

The Hope-Brained Trust

Informed by a process (exilic-return-to-exodus as soul care), principles (12-step recovery discipleship), and practices (Rule of Life spiritual rhythms), hope-brained restory presents "hoping strategies"—trauma-informed spiritual formation rhythms—necessary to form a new pattern for wholeness, emotional healing and identity reformation through gospel reframing and Spirit-filled transformation.

"For everything that was written in the past
was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the scriptures and
the encouragement they provide
we might have HOPE."

ROMANS 15:4 NIV-ish
