In 2012, Steve Austin, then a pastor, nearly died by suicide. He wondered: if church folks had talked about mental health, suicide prevention, abuse, and other hard issues, would that have changed his story? Hiding in the Pews challenges and equips leaders to transform their communities into places where suffering people can find a sense of safety.

A book to help make the church a safe place

This book is for anyone who wants to make the church a better place for those of us who have mental health struggles. It was written specifically to church leaders, but I think that it has so much to offer everyone, no matter what your position is. It speaks to those of us who struggle and those of us who want to make the church a safer place. Steve shares his struggles as he advocates for change from the top and from within each one of us. He urges us to make the church "a hospital for the hurting", championing vulnerability and creating true safety for all to be welcomed as they are; pain, scars, troubles and suffering. There are no easy answers, but a needed compassionate perspective, with suggestions and practical applications.
