A BIBLICAL RESPONSE TO DOMESTIC ABUSE
ABOUT THIS WEB RESOURCE:
Most of us know someone who has been or is currently suffering domestic abuse. We may not know it, but we do.
Our churches are to be safe places for hurting people. We as followers of Jesus are to be a healing empowering presence in the lives of wounded and mistreated people.
We cannot, however, fulfill those mandates unless we understand the dynamics and signs of domestic abuse and know what trauma-informed therapy is. Few of us are qualified to provide this specialized therapeutic care. We can, however, guide people to the kind of care they need.
