When Shepherds Wound the Flock: 31 Day Devotion of Healing Words for the Wounded Souls

What do you do when the place meant for your healing becomes the source of your deepest hurt?

For many, the church was supposed to be a sanctuary—a safe pasture where the soul could rest and grow. But for some, the pews became a place of pain, and the pulpit became a source of trauma. If you have been treated as a project to be fixed or a tool to be used rather than a soul to be shepherded, this book is for you.

In "When Shepherds Wound the Flock," author Dawn J. Douglas offers a raw, honest, and biblically-anchored 31-day journey for those who loved the church enough to be wounded by it. This is not a manual for rebellion; it is an invitation to heal in the presence of the Chief Shepherd—the One who sees clearly, judges righteously, and restores without compromise.

In these 31 days, you will discover how to:

• Name the Pain Without Shame: Explore days like “When Obedience Was Used to Silence You” and “When Holiness Was Turned into a Weapon” to validate your experience through a biblical lens.

• Separate God from the Harm: Distinguish the perfect heart of Jesus from the human failures of leaders in sections such as “Jesus Is Not Like Us” and “God Hates What Hurt You” .

• Reclaim Your Voice: Learn that God never gives a pass to manipulation or neglect just because it happens behind a pulpit. Leaders are called higher, not handled softer.

• Heal in a Safe Fold: Understand why isolation can be a dangerous defense mechanism and how to find your way back to a healthy, protected community.

Why this Devotional is Different:

Written with the transparency of a leader who has seen both sides of the altar, this book includes a courageous dedication and confession from the author, inviting you into a space of radical honesty and accountability . You will find Scriptures that comfort and Scriptures that confront—tender toward the wounded and severe toward the unrepentant.

You are not disqualified by your disappointment, and you are not alone in your weariness.

Whether you have walked away from the church or are staying silent to "keep the peace," this journey is designed to help you separate God from those who misrepresented Him. It is time to stop lying to yourself about the wound and start believing in the God who still carries the oil of healing.
