About Wounded Leadership
At Wounded Leadership, we recognize that the path of ministry, while filled with profound purpose, can also lead to deep wounds. Pastors and ministry leaders often face challenges such as unjust termination, burnout, isolation, and emotional trauma. These experiences can leave leaders feeling adrift, questioning their calling, and searching for hope. Our mission is to provide a sanctuary for these wounded leaders—a place where they can find understanding, support, and a pathway to restoration.
Through biblical counseling, reflective resources, and a compassionate community, we aim to guide leaders back to a place of healing and renewed purpose.

The Wounded Pastor, delves into the often-overlooked issue of unjustified pastoral terminations and offers a roadmap for healing and reentry into ministry. This work, combined with his counseling practice, forms the backbone of Wounded Leadership's offerings.
