Y’all, I am so excited to share this with you. Renewed: A 40-Day Devotion for Healing from Church Hurt and for Loving Well in Ministry is now available for preorder!
Here’s what it’s all about:
Ministry is a privilege, but it can also be a painful experience. Unrealistic expectations, church conflict, forced resignations, and our own struggles with burnout, loneliness, and insecurity can make church feel more like a place of wounding than a place of healing. How can wounded leaders find the courage to reject bitterness and keep loving the church?
Renewed is a forty-day devotional for women in ministry, ministry wives, and lay leaders who have been wounded by their congregations. You are not alone. God sees your pain. He knows your hurts. And he is waiting to bind up your broken heart. This forty-day journey into the healing love of Jesus will help you find the courage to stop hiding and start loving the church again.
Not all the stories in Renewed are mine, but they are all true. They are snapshots of women like you and me who have experienced the joys and the sorrows of ministry and who have chosen to look to Christ for healing and continue to love. Because no matter what comes our way, Jesus is worth it. The church is worth it. You are worth it. This ministry thing isn’t always easy. But when we come together to lift Jesus high, we make something beautiful.
And I’ve got some preorder goodies for you:
Aren’t these prints gorgeous? This set of four printables was designed just for Renewed and is available as a free download only to readers who preorder Renewed by November 26.

It is unfortunate and quite sad how often the very place we are supposed to feel loved and supported can be the place the greatest hurt takes place! I’m sure this is a helpful source for so many! Good luck with the launch and God Bless!
Thanks!
I know that there are so many that have been hurt by churches and congregations, so this devotion will help many!!
Sadly true. I’m praying God uses this book to minister to those who have been hurt.
Looks like a great resource for those in ministry, not only for their own refreshment and renewal, but to help others as well. Thanks for sharing.
This looks great, Leigh! I hope it ministers and blesses many!
Praying so!
I think many pastors and wives need this encouragement and compassion.
II believe your book will encourage a lot of people involved in ministry. God knows how to heal us of the “wounds” we experience. Thank you for seeking to help others through this book, Leigh.
Thanks! I’m excited to see how God uses this book.
Oh man I know these pains all to well. My Pastor asked me how my husband and I were so “solid” at church. It’s hard to explain without the grace of God! But Jesus is a real presence in our lives so regardless of the conflict we may have had with church people, the call to follow Him and serve His church are still there. So we obey, forgive, and love.
Congratulations on this! I hope it does well! Beautiful prints, too.
