Churches That Heal

Preview

Welcome to this free preview of Churches That Heal!

Churches That Heal is the culmination of Dr. Cloud’s life work in this arena and the next step in his desire to help ensure the local church is the place where hurting people can find healing. His hope is that every church will be seen as a place hurting people run to, not away from.

Let’s Get Started

We’ve created this simple document to walk you through Churches That Heal and help you know how and when to use each component of the resource. This PDF is an overview of the foundational content and high-level timeline to help you plan your journey through the Churches That Heal Church Program.

Pastoral Healing

All too often as leaders, we can become so focused on the needs of those around us that we lose track of what is happening in our own hearts and minds. We believe one cannot give what they do not possess. Prior to rolling out the program to the church, we believe the pastoral staff needs to first be healthy and whole. Therefore, this healing journey begins with each pastor looking introspectively within themselves. Consider this your manual for pastoral wholeness.
