A Voice for the Hurting Podcast was created to tell the stories of those who have felt silenced. Whether by our own misconceptions or those we have been taught, we keep quiet about our pain and often deal with situations alone. But first and foremost, A Voice for the Hurting is about God stories. We, who have found peace and healing after our painful life circumstances, can share the comfort and grace we have received during or after our trials. We can give hope to the hurting and a voice to those who feel like they cannot speak.

Former Black Ops army sniper Mercy Gunderson isn’t adjusting well to the laid-back rhythm of civilian life on her family’s ranch in South Dakota. To fill her time, Mercy accepts a temporary bartending gig at a local watering hole. Yet her attempts to settle in back home are tested when Titan Oil, a Canadian company proposing to run an underground pipeline through Eagle River County, sends Jason Hawley, Mercy’s former army buddy, to the area to convince ranchers to get behind the project.

Mercy Gunderson is a straight shooter with a hard edge. On medical leave from the Army, she returns home to South Dakota, which isn't much safer for her than Iraq. Arriving just after the death of her father, it is up to Mercy to decide what to do with the family ranch. Trying to deal with her irresponsible sister and nephew, while silently coping with her own guilt, Mercy is suddenly pulled into the local community when the body of a Native American boy is found on her land.
