To Heal or Harm Study Guide

A Companion Resource by Steven Tracy

This study guide is designed to accompany To Heal or Harm by Dr. Steven Tracy, helping readers move beyond simply reading the book to thoughtfully engaging Scripture, reflecting deeply, and experiencing God’s healing presence.

Each section blends Dr. Tracy’s theological insights with practical reflection through Scripture readings, study questions, journal prompts, and discussion ideas. Whether you are studying individually or with others, this guide invites you to slow down, listen carefully, and allow God’s Word to bring clarity, freedom, and healing.

Rather than rushing to finish the material, the goal is to encounter Christ in the process. Healing is rarely linear. This guide encourages readers to move at a gentle pace—making space for discovery, reflection, lament, and grace along the way.

This study guide can be used for:

• Individual study with journaling and personal reflection

• Small groups or Bible studies seeking thoughtful, compassionate discussion

• Leadership teams or ministry classes exploring the biblical themes addressed in To Heal or Harm

The guide also provides practical guidance for creating safe and supportive environments where participants can engage Scripture honestly without pressure to share personal experiences.

Rooted in Scripture and shaped by pastoral sensitivity, this companion guide helps readers approach difficult topics with courage, humility, and compassion while pointing consistently to Jesus, who embodies both truth and grace.
