How might we better (as pastors) better come alongside victims of domestic abuse?
Abuse in Christian marriage is easy to miss—and even easier to minimise.
How can pastors recognise what is happening behind closed doors and help our churches become places of refuge for the oppressed?
Counsellor and author Darby Strickland joins us to discuss domestic abuse, the entitlement that drives it, and the patterns of control that can be hidden beneath an appearance of Christian respectability.
Darby Strickland is a counsellor and faculty member at the Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation (CCEF), and author of "Is It Abuse? A Biblical Guide to Identifying Domestic Abuse and Helping Victims."
We explore how to listen carefully and ask better questions.
We consider how Christ’s sacrificial love shapes our care for those living with oppression and fear.
