Chaplains International

As a Christian crisis response chaplain, Rev. Dr. Thomas Luke was educated and trained to provide compassionate spiritual care to survivors of mass shootings, terrorist attacks, catastrophic disasters, and other high-trauma tragedies that can lead to post-traumatic stress disorder. He utilizes the profound counseling system his mentors taught him; spiritual integration counseling, also known as "soul surgery," is a central tenet of transformational theology that facilitates recovery from and integration of traumatic experiences. As his specialty, he counsels the traumatized by taking the spiritual approach to integrating survivors of sexual exploitation diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder. Rev. Dr. Thomas Luke has 20 years of combined research on Cambodia's child sex trafficking epidemic. His research includes the spiritual approach to integrating survivors of sexual exploitation diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder; he wrote about this approach in his Ph.D. dissertation textbook, Transformational Theology, which earned him seven distinguished Christian textbook awards. Luke was granted three additional awards for making "The President’s Honor Roll" for maintaining a 4.0 GPA and graduated valedictorian of his 2023 class with a summa cum laude distinction at Chaplains College School of Graduate Studies. Wikitia listed Thomas Luke, Ph.D., as their Top 30 Influential Christian Scholars in 2023 and World’s Top 30 Education Professionals for 2023.
