Wounded Shepherds: Moral Injury Among Pastors, Elders, and Church Leaders examines the hidden emotional and spiritual wounds that can emerge through years of ministry leadership, caregiving, institutional conflict, and prolonged responsibility for others. While burnout and stress are often discussed in church settings, this book explores the deeper reality of moral injury—the internal rupture that occurs when leaders repeatedly face impossible expectations, betrayal, ethical compromise, systemic dysfunction, unresolved suffering, or the painful gap between faith ideals and lived experience.

Drawing from pastoral ministry, disaster spiritual care, theology, psychology, and the lived stories of clergy and church leaders, G. C. Smith explores how moral injury affects pastors, elders, chaplains, caregivers, and congregational leaders emotionally, spiritually, relationally, and vocationally.

The purpose of the book is not merely to diagnose exhaustion but to help church communities recognize the human cost of leadership and caregiving more honestly and compassionately. It seeks to encourage healthier ministry cultures rooted in truth-telling, humility, lament, mutual care, emotional honesty, and spiritual resilience, while reminding wounded leaders that their humanity is not a failure of faith.
