  A Burning House - Redeeming...

  Despite the civil rights progress he fought for and saw on the horizon in the 1950s and '60s, Martin Luther King Jr.—increasingly concerned by America's moral vision, admitted—"I've come to believe that we are integrating into a burning house." 
  In A Burning House, Brandon Washington contends that American Evangelicalism is a house ablaze: burning in the destructive fires of discrimination and injustice. The stain of segregation remains prevalent, not only in our national institutions, but also in our churches, and this has long tarnished the witness of Christianity and hampered our progress toward a Christ-like vision of Shalom—peace, justice, and wholeness—in the world. Common doctrine may unite black and white evangelicals, but rifts such as social ethics and cultural influences still separate us. 
  Throughout this challenging but reconciliatory book, Washington gives a historical and theological appraisal of American evangelicalism to understand how we came to be where we are and what our response should be. Instead of calling the movement to become something new, he challenges it to live into what it has always been in Christ and strive for deliberate and sacrificial integration—the unity of believers of all ethnicities. 
  A Burning House is a rallying call to a waning movement whose most public leaders have often turned a blind eye to, or even justified, the sin of racism—a movement whose theology is sometimes compromised by a secular anthropology. This is a call to both white and black evangelicals to better understand our past so that we can better embrace the unifying and comprehensive message of the gospel we preach.

  Eye Movement Desensitization and...

  Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapeutic approach that has garnered widespread recognition for its effectiveness in treating trauma, particularly post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Developed by Francine Shapiro in the late 1980s, EMDR is founded on the concept that distressing memories can become “stuck” in the brain, leading to emotional and psychological difficulties. By using bilateral stimulation—usually in the form of guided eye movements—EMDR aims to facilitate the processing of these memories, enabling individuals to integrate them in a way that reduces emotional distress. 
  At its core, EMDR is grounded in the understanding that trauma can impair the brain's natural processing abilities. When a traumatic event occurs, the brain’s memory systems may not fully encode the memory, leaving the experience fragmented and unresolved. As a result, individuals may experience intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, and heightened emotional responses associated with the unresolved trauma. EMDR aims to "unstick" these memories and allow the brain to reprocess them, turning them from vivid, emotionally charged experiences into less distressing memories that can be stored in a more adaptive manner. 
  The key to EMDR's effectiveness lies in its use of bilateral stimulation. During the therapy session, the client follows the therapist’s fingers or another form of rhythmic bilateral stimulation (e.g., auditory tones or tactile taps) while focusing on distressing memories. This process is thought to mimic the natural mechanisms the brain uses during REM sleep, a stage associated with memory consolidation and emotional processing. By engaging both hemispheres of the brain in this way, EMDR helps clients process traumatic memories, alleviating their emotional charge and reducing their impact on daily life.
