Book: "Doing it Wrong Got it Right"
Doing It Wrong Got It Right by C. Dean Jarvis is a raw, honest, and soul-stirring journey through the chaos of faith, failure, relationships, and redemption. With unflinching transparency, Jarvis invites readers into his deeply personal story of spiritual optimism, disillusionment, and ultimate transformation. Through heartbreak, theological wrestling, and emotional upheaval, he uncovers the hidden truths behind religious assumptions, cultural expectations, and the often messy, beautiful process of growth.
This isn’t a book of easy answers—it’s a courageous confrontation with the hard questions we all ask: Where is God in our suffering? What if we’ve misunderstood faith? Can brokenness truly be redeemed?
Drawing from real-life struggles—including marriage challenges, trauma, loss, and neurodivergence—Jarvis reveals how value can emerge from even our worst moments. Through heartfelt storytelling, biblical insight, and fearless introspection, he reframes pain as a platform for truth and love as a choice worth fighting for.
Perfect for those deconstructing their faith or seeking a more authentic, grace-filled spirituality, Doing It Wrong Got It Right dares readers to believe that God is not afraid of our questions—and that redemption is possible, even in the mess. This book is for anyone ready to trade fear for love, silence for honesty, and brokenness for beauty.

Book: "Foreign Faces" by Crystal G. Jarvis
Foreign Faces is a gripping psychological drama that explores the fragile boundaries between identity, perception, and trust. One morning, everything changes—the home is the same, the names on the phone remain, but the faces of loved ones have vanished, replaced by unfamiliar strangers who insist nothing is wrong.
As reality unravels, the protagonist must confront a terrifying question: If you can’t recognize the people closest to you, how do you know who to trust? What begins as confusion spirals into a profound search for truth—about others and herself. Through shared memories, tender moments, and hard-won connection, she learns to “see” not with her eyes, but with her heart. But just as a new understanding begins to take shape, a darker mystery surfaces—some faces aren’t merely unfamiliar, they are empty, distorted, and unrecognizable on a deeper level.
With lyrical prose and emotional intensity, Crystal Jarvis crafts a haunting yet hopeful story that challenges everything we think we know about love, memory, and the human soul. Foreign Faces is a powerful debut that will stay with readers long after the final page, inviting them to consider the unseen ways we truly know one another.

Helping Healers Heal
Strengthening the Shepherds Who Strengthen Others
In 1 Kings 18–19, Elijah stood boldly in spiritual warfare—calling down fire, confronting compromise, standing for truth. Yet not long after, he fled in exhaustion, isolation, and despair, crying out under the weight of leadership: “I have had enough, Lord.” Today, many pastors in America feel the same—caught between spiritual battles and human limitations.
Helping Healers Heal is a ministry born from that tension—committed to walking with pastors and churches in the trenches of ministry. We provide three key areas of support:
1. Pastoral Restoration
For pastors who feel alone, weary, or ready to walk away, we offer one-on-one mentorship and safe-space support groups designed for healing, prayer, and rediscovery of purpose. You are not forgotten. You are not weak. You are human—and worthy of restoration.
2. Interim Pastoral Support
For churches in transition, we step in with experienced pastoral leadership to provide stability, care, and direction. We also work alongside new pastors, helping them integrate with their congregation and build healthy foundations for the future.
3. Training & Coaching for New Pastors
Drawing from Ezekiel 22:30, where God seeks someone to "stand in the gap," and Galatians 6, which reminds us to bear one another’s burdens, we train pastors to serve not as CEOs but as compassionate shepherds. Through biblical coaching, we help leaders see the Church as a living Body, not a business—calling them to love, lead, and protect the flock with humility and strength.
Whether you're feeling forgotten in a cave, overwhelmed at the altar, or just starting your journey in ministry, Helping Healers Heal exists to walk with you—because even shepherds need shepherding.
