Dear SURVIVORS: We invite all of you - tag your local Domestic Violence Shelter or DV Advocacy Group.
Dear DV ADVOCATES - let's work together to raise awareness that domestic violence doesn't end when the relationship ends. Please join our mission by going to: Family Court Awareness Month
Please “pass the torch” to us - stand in solidarity and advocacy. Domestic violence does not end when the relationship ends, it transitions to post separation abuse.
While there are many resources available to victims of DV during the relationship, the only resource available to victims of post-separation abuse is the family court system itself (judges, mediators, minor’s counsel, custody evaluators, therapists, co-parenting counselors, parenting coordinators and attorneys). It is so important for those in the family court system to be educated on post-separation abuse and to recognize it in high-conflict divorces, custody battles and paternity cases.
We educate, empower and encourage victims of domestic violence to be brave and to leave abusive situations yet, we aren’t equipping them for the harsh reality they face in the family court system.
After being applauded for their bravery in leaving a toxic situation, survivors of DV find that the abuse they encounter post separation is often more painful than the abuse they suffered in the relationship. The abuser’s only real interest in the children is to use them as pawns and weapons. In the family court system, survivors of domestic violence find that:
* They can no longer shelter their child from the abuse.
* They are subject to victim-blaming from family court professionals: “You married him (or her), this isn’t our problem.”
* Their abuser’s “rights” trump their child’s rights to safety.
* Their children are divided up like property.
* They are both unfairly labeled high conflict.
We believe: awareness is the first step toward change - let's raise awareness and let's stand together.

Julie Owens: There are many in the church these days who focus on intervening with abusive husbands. These are my friends Ty and Barb Shroyer who developed the gold standard intervention program for court-ordered churchgoing male abusers. They are a really awesome couple, longtime domestic violence experts, and a real example of a beautiful Christian marriage. Ty’s father was abusive, though, and of course, Ty started out life influenced by his Dad’s beliefs and behaviors towards women. While he was still young, though, he was confronted about his abusiveness and decided to commit himself to work diligently on changing. He was able to adopt a new belief system and turn his life completely around. When he and Barb dated, he confessed his past abusive behavior to her.
Changing Men, Changing Lives (CMCL) is THE intervention program I recommend for any abusive man who claims to be a Christian. It uses solid Biblical teaching to debunk the popular myth that women were created to be under men’s authority, and Biblical equality of men and women, and mutuality in Christian marriage. Unlike secular intervention programs, this one directly addresses the specific twisted beliefs and misguided Biblical justifications abusers use for oppressing women, and the trained facilitators can speak back to and properly interpret every scripture that abusers misquote to claim their superiority as husbands and the inferior status of wives.
I don’t know how available the groups are, but I really wish there were CMCL facilitator training and abuser intervention groups all over the country. I believe the Shroyers are available to speak and train in churches. They can be reached on the CMCL website.

The Changing Men, Changing Lives program was created for working with Christian men. It is a supplement to the Creating a Process of Change for Men Who Batte...

The late Catherine Clark Kroeger was an amazing and beautiful soul. She helped many women out of spiritual abuse. Her legacy lives on.

Shared from Missy Burns
I just finished reading this book and wanted to share with you some of the things that I learned.
The theme of First Timothy is dealing with false doctrine. The temple of the goddess Artemis was located in the city of Ephesus where feminine supremacy in religion was promoted. Gnostic mythology was being mixed with the Genesis account of Creation. These teachings glorified Eve and stated that she was the creator of Adam and that Adam was the one who was deceived.
Women were involved in spreading these false teachings, old wive’s fables and endless genealogies. They went from house to house. Storytelling flourished in Asia Minor during this time and had created theological problems.
Paul had to correct these errors. He was dealing with widespread heresy in this young church. He forbid a woman to teach that she is the originator of man. Paul was not prohibiting all women from gospel ministry—he was addressing the content of the woman’s teaching. Understanding why Paul wrote this letter sheds much light on these often misunderstood, difficult passages.

“The truth is domestic abuse is not a marriage problem, it’s a heart problem. Therefore, marriage-focused solutions may do more harm than good in cases of domestic abuse. Rushing a resolution could prove damaging and even deadly in cases of domestic abuse.”

Not a Marriage Problem “I don’t see the harm in sitting down with the couple to get the whole story.” “That’s great Chris, but when can we begin marriage counseling?” “How long before they can move back in together?” These are just a few examples of the kinds of things I’ve heard o...

Faith Leaders: The story of Gabby Petito is now on national news. The many stories of un reported victims are just as tragic. If you think that your education about coercive control/intimate partner violence is not important: think again.

The 22-year-old's remains were found in Wyoming late last month.
