Post-traumatic stress does not just live in memories.
It lives in the body.
In the silence.
In the anger, fear, hypervigilance, and shame that follow people home from war zones, trauma, abuse, loss, and life-altering events.
For many, the battle does not end when the danger passes. It simply changes shape.
Wounded But Not Defeated is not a clinical textbook and it is not a feel-good self-help guide. It is a field manual for the soul, written for those who are tired of surviving and ready to fight for healing, purpose, and restoration.
Drawing from real-life stories, biblical truth, and years of walking alongside people carrying invisible wounds, this book reframes PTSD not as an identity, but as an injury-one that can be faced, treated, and redeemed. Through a powerful warrior framework, readers are guided to confront the lies of shame, fear, isolation, and compromise, while learning how to stand firm in faith, rebuild resilience, and reclaim their God-given identity.
Inside these pages, you will discover:
- Why trauma does not define who you are
- How spiritual warfare intersects with mental and emotional wounds
- What Scripture says about suffering, perseverance, and restoration
- Practical tools to calm the nervous system and strengthen the mind
- The Armor of God explained for real-world battles
- Why brotherhood, discipline, and prayer are essential for healing
- How God meets people in their darkest moments and walks them toward victory
This book speaks plainly, honestly, and without religious clich�s. It acknowledges pain without glorifying it and offers hope without minimizing the struggle. Whether your wounds come from combat, first responder service, childhood trauma, betrayal, addiction, or prolonged stress, Wounded But Not Defeated meets you where you are-and challenges you to move forward.
You are not broken beyond repair.
You are not weak for struggling.
And you are not fighting alone.
The battle is real.
But so is the victory found in Christ.
Woodfill, Todd: -
Todd Woodfill is a modern-day Renaissance man whose life could be inspirational if it didn't so closely resemble a comedy sketch. Married to his absolutely amazing, beautiful, intelligent, and talented wife Holly for a whirlwind 30 years so far, he couldn't imagine doing life without her support. With four incredible children and one extraordinary grandchild, who refer to Todd as Dad, Papa, dork, old timer, and weirdo, Todd has been blessed far more than he deserves.
Passionate about mental health and suicide prevention, men's ministries, Legos, boxing, and pursuing God, Todd is a man of many talents and clearly a master of none. But who else can seamlessly switch from being a Jordan sneaker connoisseur to a boxing enthusiast, all while building men's ministries and helping those with mental health challenges. Heck, this guy can be found passionately discussing the virtues of mental wellness, only to break into a joyful song from a Disney classic, spreading cheer like a modern-day Mary Poppins with a passion for Christ. His life is a whirlwind of laughter, love, and an unshakable faith, making him the ultimate blend of humor and heart in a world that often takes itself too seriously.
