When family members undergo radical spiritual transformation

My brother found Jesus in prison and now that he's out, our whole family is trying to figure out how to honor his transformation while also protecting ourselves from getting hurt again. His faith feels genuine but our trust is still broken and we don't know how to rebuild relationship around this new version of him.

What we've seen

Genuine spiritual change has complicated rather than resolved the family's wounds, and they must navigate between honoring transformation and protecting themselves from repeated harm.
