Have you - or someone you know - ever been in an abusive relationship? It happens more than you might think. More often than not, for a myriad of reasons, there are signs that we overlook or ignore that tell us the real story about what is going on.
In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Malaika Brown (Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drmalaikaspeaks) to discuss:
-How to recognize emotionally or physically abusive situations
-What "red flags" to be on the watch for
- How manipulation can be a form of abuse
-What to do if you're in an abusive relationship
-How God intends for people to be treated in relationships/marriages. As Dr. Brown mentions in the episode, spouses are supposed to submit to each other. Read more about what that looks like here: https://beingyoked.com/submission-fragrance-men/
We also talk about the work of Leslie Vernick, who is guiding Kingdom conversations as they deal with Emotionally Destructive Relationships.
