Childhood traumatic experiences hinder spiritual formation. The current alarming increase of trauma in the lives of children necessitates that pastors and lay youth leaders become educated about childhood trauma and learn methods of trauma-informed counseling to unlock further spiritual formation in the lives of these wounded children. Pastors and youth leaders need tools and liturgies to help identify children hindered in their spiritual growth by trauma and guide them through inner healing to identify and renounce lies they have believed. The goal is to replace those lies with God’s truths in their thoughts and inner dialogue so they might be emotionally, mentally, and spiritually able to grow in their relationship with the Lord. In view of this need, this dissertation proposes the use of trauma-sensitive, cognitive-based methods to identify trauma wounding and the corresponding lies believed, coupled with prayer liturgies to guide children and youth to spiritual healing, along with a sample how-to.
