Synopsis

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.

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.
But 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 practical book shows you:

1. 5 common things *not* to say that minimize, discount, and shame their pain.
2. 8 great things to say to validate their pain.
3. Never judge a person’s wounding before you know their story.
4. Never expose someone’s shame; that convinces them shame was right.
5. Understanding the nature of wounding, unworthiness, and trauma.
6. Don’t push wounded people into cheap forgiveness.
7. Real forgiveness is grief work.
8. Why we blame trauma survivors to make our world feel safe, and so do they.
9. Don’t practice Christian peer pressure. Honor their no and their process.
10. The Church is a lifesaving station, not a live stage show.
11. 3 mindset traps that hijack Jesus’ mission to wounded people.
12. 7 practical tips to steward wounded hearts well.

And much more, in less than 2 hours reading time.
Because if they can’t go to the people of God when they’re hurting, where can they go?
