Still Standing: A 7-Day Devotional for Wounded Leaders

By James R. Welch

Have you ever led with integrity only to be misunderstood, criticized, or broken by the very people you served? Have you found yourself grieving loss, navigating public pain, or quietly wondering if God can still use your life? Still Standing is a 7-day devotional for leaders who have been wounded but want to heal and lead from a place of vulnerability.

With raw honesty and redemptive hope, James R. Welch shares insights from his personal journey through leadership crisis, public scrutiny, and spiritual restoration. Each day offers Scripture, personal reflections, prayers, and powerful truths that speak directly to the souls of those who have been tested in the furnace of leadership.

Inside you'll find:

• A call to lead with faith when your reputation is under fire.
• Practices for Healing After Betrayal or Organizational Pain
• A fresh vision for the Church, mission, and our cities.
• Daily prayers to renew identity, courage, and trust in God.
• Encouragement to build again, even with scarred hands.

Whether you're a pastor, nonprofit leader, volunteer, or visionary worn down by resistance, this devotional is an invitation to let God transform your wounds into wisdom and your scars into strength.

You’re still here. You’re still called. You’re still standing.
