Stewarding Wounded Hearts: Being Jesus to Wounded People

When wounded people come to church …

We often do one of two things, with the best of intentions:

1. We minimize or discount their pain.

2. We try to “fix” them by being the therapist.

But both just cause more damage that we don’t know we’re causing. We want to help. We have the right heart. But we’ve made it clear we don’t understand their pain, so they keep it secret.

What if there’s another way?

At the end of the day, whether we are Jesus to wounded people or unintentionally cause more damage depends on how well we steward wounded hearts.

This book shows you how.

“I just read the first chapter and all I can say is WOW. I can see myself utilizing this information and teaching it line for line in my Wednesday night adult teaching lessons.” -- Pastor Phil Corbett, First Assembly of God, Corrigan, Texas

“I’ve already used one of your chapters in a homily for my parish. I look forward to incorporating these things immediately into my ministry!” -- Father Jonathan Goertz, Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church, Henrico, VA

Because if they can’t go to the people of God when they’re hurting, where can they go?
