FROM THE PULPIT TO THE PAIN

$20.99

When Faith Is Tested Inside the Church,

The Path to Healing Begins with Truth.

In this powerful and courageous testimony of faith tested and redeemed, From the Pulpit to the Pain takes readers beyond the sanctuary doors and into the raw, often unspoken reality of church hurt.

Rooted in generations of ministry, this deeply personal story reveals how a beloved church family—called by God and trusted by a congregation—faces betrayal from within the very institution meant to protect them. When darkness enters through trusted hands and an innocent child is harmed while her mother nearly loses her life protecting her, silence is no longer an option.

Journey with the Knots family as they confront:

  • Hidden abuse behind sacred walls

  • The danger of silence and misplaced loyalty

  • The cost of blind faith without accountability

  • The power of discernment, truth, and spiritual courage

Through resilient faith and unwavering conviction, pain is transformed into purpose. What was meant to destroy becomes the catalyst for healing, restoration, and the birth of a ministry rooted in truth.

This book speaks directly to:

  • Survivors of abuse within the church

  • Believers struggling with church hurt

  • Ministry leaders seeking accountability and reform

  • Anyone longing for healing within the Body of Christ

From the Pulpit to the Pain is more than a testimony—it is a call to break silence, pursue justice, and restore integrity in God’s house.

Faith. Truth. Healing.
