Soul Sessions with Mending the Soul

To Heal or Harm

January 19, 2026 • Mending the Soul • Season 1 • Episode 1

In Episode 1 of Soul Sessions, Dr. Steve Tracy joins us to talk about his book To Heal or Harm: Scripture’s Use as Poison or Medicine for Abuse.

Some wounds don’t just come from what happened.
They come from what people said afterward.

In this first episode of Soul Sessions, Dr. Steve Tracy shares why he wrote To Heal or Harm: Scripture’s Use as Poison or Medicine for Abuse—and why the church must learn the difference between using Scripture as a balm and using it as a blade.

If you’ve ever felt pressured to reconcile before you were safe…
If forgiveness was demanded while justice was ignored…
If Bible verses were used to manage the situation instead of shepherd your soul…

This book was written for you.
