Spiritual Trauma, Authority, and the Stage Theory
Thomas, Kim and Larissa on Spiritual Trauma, Authority, and the Stage Theory
Thomas Floyd, LPC, and Kim Honeycutt, LCAS, are interviewed by Producer/Director (who just happens to be Kim’s wife) Larissa Miller about spiral dynamics, McLaren’s 4 Stages of Church, and how our view of authority can indicate where we are on our growth path. Brian McLaren’s 4 church stages and spiral dynamics give all of us a barometer to see where we are and where our church of choice may be in our quest to be good leaders and inclusive humans. How big our EGO is can be an excellent resource to measure how big or small we make God. Join in as Thomas, Kim, and Larissa explore and expose their own struggles and progress to being an aware human.

While you’re here, why not check out Kim’s book?
But Your Mother Loves You is the witty and candid tale of how a renowned psychotherapist moved from “not good enough” to “the right person” despite childhood neglect and a toxic relationship with her mother.
Everyone knows at least one person who demonstrates toxic love, someone who consistently jabs a straw in others and sucks the life right out of them. Without an in-depth understanding of how to navigate these relationships, most people continue to emotionally regress and remain paralyzed in familiar, pain-soaked patterns. But Your Mother Loves You helps readers overcome this cycle of toxicity.
Kim Honeycutt shares the real-life experience of how a shame-based, self-destructive little girl grew up to be a recovered alcoholic, entered the world of psychology as a professional, and created her own strategies to address and conquer toxicity.
This story, both witty and practical, is told through the lens of personal life experience and expert psychological strategies combined with Godly intervention. Readers learn how to either walk away from or walk with a toxic loved one without losing themselves. Covered in both vulnerability and clinical information, But Your Mother Loves You provides a step-by-step approach on how to stop toxic love and the subsequent self-abuse.
