Morning friend, I am thrilled that so many people helpers watched the webinar that Chris Moles and I did regarding the 3 milestones you must master to work competently with those in destructive relationships. We had a lot of positive feedback and was very encouraged that there are people helpers who are wanting to learn […]
Am I Crazy Or Is He Lying
Morning friend, It’s hard to believe that our world has been shut down for a year now. I had planned a trip to France in April that was cancelled this week due to continued COVID restrictions. It’s easy to get angry and depressed. What’s much harder is to take responsibility for our own emotions in […]
When Is It Biblical Abandonment?
Morning friends, How many of you set a New Years Resolution for 2021? Maybe to get into shape or lose weight? Those seem to be the #1 goals most people set. Did you know that most people who make New Years Resolutions don’t keep them? In fact, about 3 weeks into January, they are back […]
Ten Things Every Church Leader Needs To Know
Morning friends, We just concluded our CONQUER launch where hundreds of Christian women in destructive marriages raised their hands and said I need help and support.

I Have No Say. What Are My Next Steps?
Morning friends, I’m back at my home near Phoenix, and it’s pizza oven hot. Temperatures yesterday hovered around 115. But it’s been a nice change, and I got a chance to walk my 10,000 steps yesterday in our community pool, which has a walking track right in the water. I also got to visit with […]
Do I Attract Toxic People?
Morning friends, Can you believe we are almost done with January? How are you doing in this new decade? I’ve begun implementing some small habit changes that have started to show some real results. For example, while brushing my teeth each day, I started doing 50 squats morning and evening. Before that, I didn’t do […]
What Do I Do When My Counselor Overrules My Thoughts?
Morning friends, I’ve said this before but it bears repeating. I love this community and the power of the group contributing to the question asked. When I write my response to someone’s question, I cannot possibly cover every possible angle in the amount of space I allot. That’s why I ask you all to chime […]
Can I Have Good Boundaries And Still Be Compassionate?
Morning friends, I’ve made the transition. I’m now up in Pinetop, AZ for the summer months in our little cabin in the woods. My granddaughters are here for two weeks and we are enjoying the cooler weather. Hopefully, it will warm up too, but to 80 degrees and not to 100 degrees. Looking forward to […]

What Is An Emotional Separation And How Do I Do It Without Hurting Her?
Morning friends,I’m in Nashville, taping for the training that you’ve been reading about through churchcares.com. Thanks for your prayers. It’s been an adventure. Afterward, I’m headed on a much-needed vacation with my family (all kids and grandkids) for my husband’s big birthday. Although I’m not sure how much of a vacation it will be when […]
