This episode of The Unfounded Podcast is an unfiltered deep dive into trauma—how it manifests in society, how it shapes us individually, and how healing is possible. Christopher Turner begins with a Secular World Update, analyzing the disturbing revelations surrounding figures like P-Diddy and Jeffrey Epstein, highlighting their cases as stark examples of power, corruption, and the widespread presence of abuse in our world.
The conversation then shifts to a Spiritual World Update, focusing on the story of Bishop Mar Mari Emanuel, who was recently attacked after speaking critically about Islam. Turner explores the bishop’s choice to forgive his assailant, reflecting on how compassion and faith can be transformative forces, even in the face of violence.
Finally, in a deeply personal segment, Turner opens up about his own trauma, tracing its roots to childhood abuse and discussing how it has shaped his relationships, fears, and self-identity. He shares his path toward healing, emphasizing the necessity of facing pain directly, rather than allowing it to fester and perpetuate cycles of harm. The episode also features selected clips from Theo Von, Father Mari Mari Emanuel, and Dr. Jordan Peterson—each offering insights into the nature of suffering and the journey toward recovery.
If you feel drawn to this conversation, it’s for a reason. Tune in for a powerful exploration of truth, resilience, and the path to healing.
