I Hate My Ex Husband and Can’t Stop
Morning friend, Emotions can be wonderful and terrible — sometimes at the same time. We experience the joy of love, beauty, gratitude, and wonder, and we feel the pain of rejection, betrayal, injustice, illness, and life being hard. When you experience difficult or unpleasant feelings like rage, shame, hurt, and hatred, what do you do with them? The first step…
How Does One Balance Mercy and Stern Boundaries with Difficult People Who You Have to Interact With?
Merry Christmas friend, I know for some of you this is a hard day, a hard season. You’re alone or with family who are fighting. But for a moment, I invite you to put that reality in the background and bring into focus what this season is truly about. God came into a dark, scary, sinful world to be with…

Do I Trust Him Again? He’s Doing Everything Right
Morning friend, Whew, we just finished our CONQUER membership invite for this season. The doors are closed for now, and we are all about welcoming and loving on our new members. I’m heading off to Haven House to partner with Lysa Terkeurst for her 3-day intensive retreat. It’s an honor to be part of her team there as our population…
He’s Ready To Get Help, Should I Move Home?
Morning friend, I had a great time at the American Association of Christian Counselors conference last week in Dallas. It was hard work and emotionally and physically draining but I sensed an openness and willingness to listen as I have not before. Perhaps it’s been all the recent news stories about how the church has covered up abuse of many…
You Do Have Choices

It’s still at leslievernick.com but is fresher, easier to navigate, and totally updated. Since we are filling up our current classes quickly, we also opened some new…
