Pain is a universal experience, but what if we’re missing a key aspect of it in our ministry? For years, we’ve understood the power of addressing physical needs as a doorway to deeper conversations about Jesus. But how often do we help people see the spiritual dimensions of their struggles with pain? In his latest article, Lance Whorton explores: - How physical pain often connects to deeper spiritual issues. - Why identity in Christ transforms how we cope with suffering. - What the church can do to restore wholeness in body and spirit. If we, as leaders, don’t address these questions, people will seek answers elsewhere—often in places that treat the symptoms but ignore the soul. This article challenges us to reclaim a holistic view of healing and equip our churches to respond with clarity and compassion. I’d love to hear your thoughts once you’ve read it. How is your church addressing the intersection of pain and spiritual restoration? Let’s make sure no one faces pain without the hope and healing only Jesus can offer!
