Greater Fruit Than the Wound: Scars Don’t End the Story-War, Trauma, Invisible Scars, And How God’s Redemption Turns Pain Into Healing, Purpose, And Hope For Others

Today i sat down with Pastor Robert E. Jordan — a Navy veteran who’s lived through war, carried invisible scars, and still chose to step into ministry, counseling, writing, and even leading humanitarian work overseas. None of it came easy. But every step shows how God never wastes pain — Jesus takes what was meant to destroy us and uses it for something greater.

Robert’s story is living proof that His redemption doesn’t just heal us, it multiplies through us. The fruit of being healed and redeemed in Christ is always greater than the pain itself — because it equips us to offer the same hope and healing we’ve received.

We talk about pouring out when you feel empty, the unspoken parts of our stories we try to hide, and the God who meets us right there. When scars are placed in His hands, they don’t just mark our past — they become lifelines for someone else.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Can God really use my pain?” — this conversation is your reminder: yes.
