Stop the cycle of pain

For the last couple weeks I’ve been talking about a crisis in our culture – and in the church. The tragedy of domestic abuse. It can be emotional, physical, spiritual, or sexual. It’s about control and power – it destroys deeply the heart of those in the family that receive this unimaginable pain.

From telling a child they are no good and hopeless (or stupid) to rape and molestation to hitting someone, abuse occurs by men or women. But it comes from a heart that is hurting already – and doesn’t know how to deal with that pain.

If you are abused or abusing, it is impacting your relationships. It’s hurting them deeply. Stop the cycle of pain. Here’s some resources for helping:
