Healing Trauma & Revealing God (Father Turbo Qualls) | 2026 Public Lecture no. 3

Our Public Lecture Series invites scholars & theologians to offer public presentations on topics related to the life and teaching of the Orthodox Church on campus at Texas A&M University. The theme for the 2026 Public Lecture Series was Christianity & Culture and featured three speakers: Father John Strickland, Father Anthony Gilbert, and Father Turbo Qualls. Father Turbo is the rector at St. Mary of Egypt, Serbian Orthodox Church in Kansas City Missouri, where he lives with his wife Juliana and their 8 children. He is a retired professional tattoo artist who has since studied iconography in the Prosopone School of Iconography under the contemporary master iconographer, Fr. Stamatis Skliris of Athens. He is the former Dean of Chapters for the national chapter of the Brotherhood of St. Moses the Black and has lectured in various parts of the United States in regard to the work of evangelization and cultural outreach within the United States. He is also spiritual director for both the Convent of the Mother of God Seeker of the Lost, which is an urban monastic community, and the Mount Tabor School of Liberal Arts, which provides classical education that is rooted in Orthodox tradition. Fr Turbo holds graduate and postgraduate degrees in Addiction Studies and Pastoral counseling with an emphasis in crisis response and trauma.
