Morning friends, Recently I’ve seen a few comments on this blog and others questioning what behaviors or attitudes are considered abusive in a relationship. Some people object to singling out certain behaviors or attitudes as abusive. They say things like, “sin is sin.” Or “We’re all sinners.” I don’t disagree, all abuse is sin, but […]
How Do You Confront Your Spouse With His Unacceptable Behaviors?
Morning friends, I’m in sunny California FINALLY, after about 10 days of traveling by car with Grace (the dog). Our bike rack broke when we forgot they were mounted on top of the car and went under a canopy of a hotel lobby and we were stuck in Texas trying to get that fixed. Thankfully […]
Scripture Support For Separation From Destructive Spouse
Hi Friends, I’m in Italy this week, my first time. I’m very excited to be here with my sister, her husband and mine. We are visiting three cities, Rome, Florence, and Venice. Instead of answering a question from one of you this week, I thought I would give you an article I wrote to supply […]
Shortening The Abuse Learning Curve
Hi Friends, We got quite a response to last week’s blog on five reasons a woman may be resistant to “seeing” or “stopping” the destruction in her marriage. This week I want to talk about what we can do to shorten that learning curve. It does not have to take 30+ years of suffering to […]
How Do I Minister To My Unbelieving Abusive Husband?
Morning friends, How are you doing? I mean really doing, deep in your soul and spirit? Are you sensing His presence? His love? His forgiveness? His help? I hope so. Many of you here experience a crushed spirit. You are regularly invalidated, dismissed, demeaned and degraded and used as an object. This takes it’s toll […]
What is Disrespect?
Morning friends, This week I’m in sunny beautiful California. Until tomorrow I’m hanging out in Monterey, right on the ocean. This is one of the most beautiful places in the world and it has been good for my soul and spirit and body to be here. There is something so restorative to being in God’s […]
Is Hitting Someone Ever Justified?
Morning friends, Pray for me. This weekend I’m speaking all day to Christian counselors, pastors and leaders in Kentucky on Domestic Violence on Saturday and then Saturday night speaking at a youth rally on Bullying and Relationships. Pray that I’m able to fully share all that God has put on my heart. Don’t forget our […]
Are You An Abuse Magnet?
Morning friends, I don’t want you to miss out on the free teleseminar or livestreaming event I’m doing with Chris Moles this Thursday night, August 7 at 8:30 pm ET. We will be tackling the question, “Can an Abuser Change – and How Does That Happen?” Chris is a Pastor and a Batterer Interventionist Specialist. […]
Is a History of Abuse Doomed To Repeat Itself?
Hi Friends, Pray for me. I’m feeling weary. Could I ask you to hold my arms up high like Aaron and Hur did for Moses when the Israelites were in battle with the Amalekites ()? He couldn’t do it without the help of faithful others who came alongside of him. I know God wants me […]
My Husband is Homosexual and Abusive. I’m Disabled and Stuck. Help.
Good morning friends, I spent the weekend celebrating my mother’s 80th birthday with my family and all their friends from over the years. It is an amazing thing to see a life well-lived up close and my step-mom embodies an ordinary woman who has lived extraordinarily well. She had many hardships as a young married […]
