An Opportunity for You

by | Jun 30, 2024 | Article | 0 comments

You may have noticed some accounts people give of their marriage situation can’t be reconciled. What you hear from one individual conflicts with what you hear from the other individual. This is typical of oppressive relationships. This is atypical of healthy relationships.

Why? It comes down to the heart (reference Jeremiah 17:5-8; James 1:14-15; 4:1-7). We do what we do because we want what we want. A person who wants control at any cost will deny the truth (lie), attack those who question him, and claim he’s being taken advantage of. A person who is being hurt or taken advantage of may make excuses, justify and minimize the damage to protect herself.

If you still have questions, we invite you to take our Biblical Victim Care Course this fall. It will be offered

  • In person (via zoom) on Tuesdays from 1:00-3:00 p.m. CST, September 10-November 26, 2024.
  • As a 12-week pre-recorded class beginning in October, then every 3 months.
