Kimberly Wagner | Fractured Ground

Sandy Hook. Uvalde. Pulse Nightclub Hurricane Katrina. COVID-19. 9/11. For millions of people in our country, these words are shorthand for unthinkable traumatic events and the lingering effects of trauma. What can be said when a community is shaken to its core? How can a Sunday morning sermon help a fractured community? In this episode, Kimberly Wagner explores these questions and more as we discuss her new book, Fractured Ground: Preaching in the Wake of Mass Trauma. Wagner is professor of preaching at Princeton Theological Seminary and an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA).
