The Wounded Healer | Marcus Mecum | 7 Hills Church

What do you do with wounds no one can see?

King Uzziah looked strong on the outside, but pride and offense rotted his legacy from within. His story is a warning—but also a mirror. Many of us carry silent wounds that shape how we live, lead, and love.

In this message, Pastor Marcus reveals how unhealed hurt can take down even the strongest among us—and how Jesus, our wounded healer, turns your wounds into strength.

You don’t have to stay broken. Healing starts now.
