EUM Church
Engage
Discipleship Summit featuring Wounds That Heal
God is not distant or aloof. On the contrary, through the ministry of
Jesus, God enters our painful situations to bring healing and
redemption. Balancing sound biblical exposition with sensitive pastoral
care, Dr. Stephen Seamands, author of the book Wounds That Heal,
examines the profound implications of Jesus' crucifixion for our
healing and restoration. Because Jesus experienced abuse, shame and
rejection, he understands the hurts we experience today. And his
response to pain and suffering gives us hope that we too can experience
forgiveness and new life. Filled with real-life stories of people’s
brokenness and healing, Wounds That Heal offers comfort for our wounded
souls. Ultimately, we take heart that God not only understands our pain
but has done something about it. Encounter here the promise that the
wounds of Jesus are wounds that heal.
Dr. Seamands is presenting a workshop based on this book that
demonstrates how God enters our lives through Jesus' crucifixion---and
brings healing and redemption. This workshop is an event in EUM's
Engage Discipleship Summit, a discipleship ministry of the church. It
will take place at EUM Church, 1451 Sater Street, Greenville, Ohio on
Saturday, October 29 from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. The cost is $20 per
person. For more information or to register for this workshop, visit

Dr. Stephen Seamands currently serves as professor of Christian
Doctrine at Asbury Theological Seminary. Prior to assuming a
teaching position at the seminary in 1983, he pastored United Methodist
churches in Linwood, Florence, and Elmer in southern New Jersey for
eleven years. Steve is known for gracefully merging the classical
and the practical. His courses on theology and doctrine are
taught with a scholar’s mind and a pastor’s heart.
The son of missionary parents, Steve was born and grew up in
India. In addition to teaching and working with seminary
students, Steve is actively engaged in leading seminars and retreats
and conducting spiritual renewal events in local churches across the
U.S. He also has a deep concern for the spiritual needs of
pastors and Christian leaders.
Steve has developed a particular interest in the areas of emotional
healing, spiritual warfare, and intercessory prayer. His
workshops, “The Healing Power of Forgiveness,” and “Overcoming Barriers
to Receiving God’s Love,” which he has presented at scores of churches
and conferences, have ministered deeply to the brokenness in people’s
lives.
