Wounded and Defined
Trading Victim for Victory

From our seasons of struggle to the life-changing crises we face in life, there is always a clear choice offered: To be crippled as victims or redeemed as victors. In Wounded and Defined: Trading Victim for Victory, Tonya Shellnutt shares her very personal and intimate journey of pain to providence, confusion to clarity, fear to faith, addressing three major areas to effectively rise above the current state of the world:
- Decide to no longer take part in cultivating an environment of victimization
- Define yourself by the power of Jesus Christ, not the wounds of your past
- Devote your life to inspiring others by expressing courage, not capitulating to culture
Pain to Providence
Confusion to Clarity
Fear to Faith
