Stop Living Wounded's Story
Stop Living Wounded is the LLC ministry of Ken Harmon. SLW did not start as a ministry but as a declaration. One early morning, while dealing with multiple physical ailments causing debilitating dysregulation, he heard a clear voice to "stop living wounded." Ken screamed out, "I am not living wounded, I am wounded and you're not helping." While Ken didn't understand it at the time, he came to understand that this message was to stop being a victim of his wounds (trauma). In other words, it's time to heal.
While Ken would love to say he was instantly healed like the invalid in John 5, he was not. It was, however, the beginning of his journey toward healing. This journey led to countless classes, seminars, and conferences on healing. It involved becoming a recovery participant to eventually being a recovery pastor. It involved hundreds of hours in counseling and spiritual formation. It involved him facing his greatest diagnosis, Complex PTSD. It now involves moving from learning to leading. It It involved moving Stop Living Wounded from a message given to him, to one to now share with others.
The message is this, despite your pains and wounds, God is good and you have a purpose.
Stop Living Wounded's Logo
The SLW logo has a universal and worldwide message. Whether in South Korea or South Dakota, the red octagon and white hand are global for stop. However, the red circle at the center of the hand represents Jesus' sacrifice for sin. It is not just a reminder for the believer of his crucifixion. It is a reminder that "by his wounds, we are healed" (Isaiah 53:5).
