Popular Nigerian comedian Funnybone has said that being born again does not automatically heal childhood trauma or behavioural dysfunction. He recently had his say via his social media page, and fans have been reacting.
Urging the church to prioritise therapy, Funnybone noted that many young Christians carry deep unresolved trauma while assuming spiritual rebirth is enough.
He concluded by begging believers to seek professional emotional support alongside their spiritual practice.
His words, “I hope that one day the church understands that some personality traits have nothing to do with spirituality, and that being ‘born again’ doesn’t erase childhood trauma or behavioral dysfunction.
Therapy, religion, and spirituality can co-exist.
Yet, the heart can still be deeply wounded, bitter, or unkind because unresolved trauma often shapes subconscious reactions.”
