Kelly Dehnert, assistant pastor at the Covenant Presbyterian Church organized the seminar, which will feature speakers Rachael Denhollander and Darby Strickland. (You can register for the free seminar here.) Denhollander was the first woman to publicly accuse Larry Nassar of sexual assault in 2015, when the later convicted child molester and rapist was still working as the U.S gymnastics team doctor, a role he held for 18 years, all while accruing over 200 victims. Herself a victim of the disgraced Nassar, Denhollander went on to become a lawyer and advocate for abuse and trauma survivors after his conviction, was named one of the world's 100 most influential people by Time Magazine, and received Sports Illustrated's "Inspiration of the Year Award." Strickland is a well known lecturer and counselor for CCEF, is on faculty at Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia, and has been featured as a speaker for abuse and trauma seminars around the world.  Denhollander and Strickland will discuss making church a safe place for survivors of abuse at the seminar, in addition to discussing their books (Denhollander's “What Is a Girl Worth?,” "What Is a Little Girl Worth?," and "What Is a Little Boy Worth?" can be found here, and Strickland's “Is It Abuse?: A Biblical Guide to Identifying Domestic Abuse and Helping Victims” can be found here). In addition to providing some details about the seminar, Denhollander and Strickland discuss who the seminar is for, the importance of abuse and trauma survivors to have their voices heard in a safe and non-judgemental space, the role of the church in providing those spaces, and how communities can get behind the cause.

Scott Mehl interviews Darby Strickland on the intricacies of abuse. This episode was orginally released during season 1 of *The Messy Podcast.*

What constitutes abuse? How should the church help abused women? Does the Bible have anything to say about these and other difficult matters regarding submission in marriage? You bet! That's why Bobby, Matt, and Rachel are continuing to answer your questions on the topic in this episode of NorthWoods Church Matters! Books mentioned:  Conscience: What It Is, How to Train It, and Loving Those Who Differ by Andrew Naselli. When Home Hurts: A Guide for Responding Wisely to Domestic Abuse in Your Church by Jeremy Pierre and Greg Wilson. The Heart of Domestic Abuse: Gospel Solutions for Men Who Use Control and Violence in the Home by Chris Moles. Is It Abuse?: A Biblical Guide to Identifying Domestic Abuse and Helping Victims by Darby Strickland. Men and Women in the Church: A Short, Biblical, Practical Introduction by Kevin DeYoung.

On average, nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the United States. During one year, this equates to more than 10 million women and men. About 2 in 4 women have experienced some form of physical violence by an intimate partner. This includes a range of behaviors (e.g. slapping, shoving, pushing) and in some cases might not be considered "domestic violence." These statistics do not include abuse of men. These are just a few of domestic abuse statistics on the National Statistics Domestic Violence website. Many more people do not report abuse. If these stats are true, it's likely 1 in 4 women sitting in our church pews have experienced severe physical violence. Sadly, the place where wounded women should feel safest – the church – is the one place they are too ashamed to be transparent. In this informative but at times disturbing interview, Darby Strickland draws from years of not only studying the impact of abuse but her interaction through counseling abused women. Darby is passionate about equipping local churches to be a safe place for the abused. To go deeper, you can order her newest book: Is it Abuse? A Biblical Guide to Identifying Domestic Abuse and Helping Victims

In this episode Leslie interview Darby Strickland, a faculty member and counselor with Christian counseling & educational foundation as well as the author of, “Is It Abuse? A Biblical Guide to Identifying Abuse and Helping Victims.” 3:10 - What has been the hardest part of getting people to understand? Oppressors don't often look like oppressors to the outside world. Their public face is often much different. They come from such a problem in their heart. Victims have a hard time believing their spouse's heart is that commited to self vs. living for the Lord. They rationalize, wanting to believe the best about a person.   4:45 - How does a woman discern between a man who is an overzealous leader and a man who is truly an oppressor?   Even Jesus' submission was willful. It wasn't fear-based. Often a woman is afraid to disagree or have a different opinion. Her input is devalued.  This is complying, not submitting. It's subjugation.    6:30 What do you say to a woman whose husband dismisses her by saying she's being too sensitive?   Coercive control goes across all dimensions of relationship, not just physical. Journal. It may take up to 30 entries before you see a pattern in the stories. Then, see if those stories match up with what is in Darby's or Leslie's books. Or, find someone who is familiar with oppressive dynamics and can help you interpret those stories and see the pattern. Identifying the pattern is very important.   11:15 If a woman feels unheard and devalued and reduced to a role, what should she do?   Depending on the severity of the abuse, you could try having a “micro” conversation about a specific thing you're noticing.  You can also begin to talk to someone else and get some validation to your story. Also, begin to work on the mindset that you have to diminish yourself in order to be submissive. As you begin to stand up to yourself, you will begin to shift the dynamics of the relationship. He will get more respectful or more abusive. If he gets more abusive, that's a really good sign. Abort the conversation and get extra support.      16:15 What about the argument that women were made to be a helpmate? Being a godly wife does not mean simply serving your spouse. It's okay for you to have your own personhood.  Don't allow your husband to usurp God's position in your life. Your primary purpose is to love and serve the Lord. That means loving your husband by confronting sin, reading scripture, loving your friends and neighbors, etc. When someone wants to put themselves as the center of your purpose, there's a big problem. The Proverbs 31 woman had her own life and wasn't micromanaged by her husband.    19:00 - What are signs a pre-marital counselor could see that a relationship might be destructive? Abuse, early on, doesn't look like abuse. It can look like passion. Maybe one partner says, “I want to spend all my time with you.” They wouldn't say they are wanting to isolate you from others. “I love you so much I can't…”  Find out what happens in other moments of relationship. Separate each partner and ask… “Are you allowed to complain? Does he get upset when you're sick and unable to be there for him? Does he talk about ex or mother in disparaging ways? Has he ever berated a waitress? What's it like when you say ‘no'  to him?” If she hasn't, she should try to say “no” to him or even ask him to do something for her and then see if he's willing to meet her needs or accepts her “no.” Does he use the Bible to try and control?    Anytime someone uses scripture to condemn rather than convict it's a huge red flag. If he is pushing engagement too fast, that's a red flag. When the relationship feels too good to be true, it is.    25:30 What would a small group leader do who observes concerning behavior in a couple?    Pursue a friendship with that woman. It may be a while before she feels able to even identify what she's experiencing as abuse. Encourage her to be able to speak without her husband's permission in the group, etc. Make sure she feels valued by you and that it's a safe relationship. Ask questions but don't accuse. Always stay in a curious mode.    32:15 What if a pastor is uninterested or gives advice like, “Try not to upset him?”    First, be praying. Then, look for a counselor who understands oppressive marriages. There might be an elder or someone else in the church who would understand. Maybe you need to attend a Bible study, even at a different church where there are understanding people.  If you're telling  your story and being dismissed and shut down and leaders are using the Bible to keep you stuck in a destructive situation, you really need to find other counsel.   RESOURCES: Article “How to Discern True Repentance when Serious Sin Has Occurred: www.leslievernick.com/repentance Christian Counseling and Education Foundation: WWW.CCEF.ORG www.leslievernick.com

Through the specific example of video game addiction, Alasdair Groves illustrates a broader skill fundamental to biblical counseling: learning to see and draw out what is good, even in the midst of someone making a mess of their life.   “In Hebrews 10, the Lord calls us as Christians to spur one another on to love and good deeds. That's an invitation to an incredible wealth of creativity as believers in thinking about how to apply this passage. Finding the traces of good in someone's bad decisions is one way of growing and being able to spur people on to love and good deeds. It's a microcosm for seeing the surprising-ness of the hope and power of the gospel.”   Related Resources: “An Open Letter to a Discouraged Saint” blog by Mike Emlet: https://www.ccef.org/an-open-letter-to-a-discouraged-saint/ “Seeing the People in Front of You” blog by Darby Strickland: https://www.ccef.org/seeing-the-people-in-front-of-you/

If you've seen the heartache and struggles of those who find themselves married to an abusive spouse, you'd do anything to try to help someone avoid that kind of pain. The problem is that most people have no idea that their spouse will turn out to be abusive until after the wedding. When you're dating someone, there are so many things that you're learning about the other person. And the excitement and thrill of being in love inevitably cloud your judgment and keep you from seeing things that you might otherwise notice. In her excellent book, “Is It Abuse?” Darby Strickland defines what the root of oppression is and gives a premarital assessment designed to help you identify the warning signs of abuse before it happens. Let me share some of the insights that stood out to me.

Darby Strickland joins us in this episode to share her extensive wisdom related to caring for others who have experienced abuse. We discuss her book, Is It Abuse: A Biblical Guide to Identifying Domestic Abuse and Helping Victims, and Darby shares about the ways the Lord has shaped her life as she cares for those who have suffered greatly.Follow Darby:https://www.darbystrickland.com/Follow us:https://counselforlifepodcast.com/http://elizahuie.comhttp://bethmariebroom.com

This week, I had a strange experience with two books on marriage. I finished reading Darby Strickland's book, “Is It Abuse?” and started reading Tim and Kathy Keller's book, “The Meaning of Marriage.” Both of them are excellent. Both of them address the topic of marriage from the Scriptures. But it's as if they're addressed to people from two different worlds. The first helps people to identify whether domestic abuse is present in a relationship and gives strategies for addressing it. The second helps people discover how a marriage can become all it was intended to be. Reading one gave me new awareness in reading the second. I realized that in only approaching marriage from the ideal that the Bible presents, there are principles that can be misunderstood and even used by abusers to manipulate their spouses.

In this episode of The Messy Podcast, Scott Mehl interviews Darby Strickland on the intricacies of abuse.

"If anxiety, fear, or trauma is part of your experience, the book you want to become familiar with is the Bible. The Bible is all about how God's redemptive purposes enter into our suffering through his Son who experiences trauma and suffering on our behalf for the purpose of healing." Dr. Tim Lane, who recently spoke about how to make changes that last is returning to the podcast to discuss post-traumatic stress disorder, also known as PTSD. Often associated with servicemen and women who live with distressing memories from combat experience, PTSD can actually occur in any person at any age. As an experienced counselor and the Founder of the Institute for Pastoral Care, Dr. Lane explains that many people are affected by trauma, but we all respond to disturbing events and the associated shame in different ways.Whether you face disabling memories from combat, abuse, health problems, or a traumatic accident, you are not alone. Christ, who himself suffered intensely, is with you. Be encouraged as Dr. Lane compassionately shares some of the keys to beginning the healing process and how that process looks over time. And if you know someone struggling with PTSD, learn how you can help create a safe community and come alongside them in the gradual process of restoration. If you are a veteran living with visible or invisible disabilities from combat, learn about Joni and Friends Warrior Getaways.Resources:Visit Dr. Tim Lane's websiteRead Dr. Lane's minibook PTSD: Healing for Bad MemoriesListen to Darby Strickland's conversation about TraumaTake the course Becoming a Church That Cares for the AbusedOrder Unstuck: A nine-step journey to change that lasts Questions or comments?

Darby Strickland joins us to talk about an issue that grieves a good number of wives. She writes this:  "Over the last few weeks, I have had several conversations with wives who were feeling guilt-ridden. Each feared that failing to meet their husband's expectations for sex would push their husbands to satisfy their desires in sinful ways. This fear might seem extreme, but the belief that wives are responsible for keeping their husbands from sexual sin is more common than you might think, so I want to draw attention to it."  That's exactly what we're going to do.

In this episode of the Hope + Help Podcast, Christine Chappell interviews Darby Strickland about her book, Is It Abuse?: A Biblical Guide to Identifying Domestic Abuse and Helping Victims. During the conversation, Darby explains why domestic abuse is easy to miss and easier to minimize and shares why abuse merits the biblical label of "oppression." Darby also addresses question such as: • What damage does it do to label a situation as "abusive" when it isn't? • How can people helpers become more sensitive to identifying physical abuse, especially when victims are typically hesitant to ask for help? • How can we tell if what is taking place in the marriage bed qualifies as sexual abuse? • What do people helpers need to keep in mind when helping a victim bring their story to the attention of the local church? • What are some questions people helpers can use to better get to know the victim and to assess the emotional, spiritual, and physical damage they have sustained?
