Epic Comeback - Finding Freedom Through God's Love: Whole Life Podcast Ep 009
Description
In this transformative episode of our podcast, we confront the often-hidden reality of intimate partner violence (IPV) and the unique challenges it presents, particularly within church communities. Leadership can sometimes prioritize the institution of marriage over the well-being of victims, but God's love offers a powerful path to healing.
We highlight key signs of intimate partner violence and coercive control, including:
-
Isolation from friends and family
-
Extreme jealousy or possessiveness
-
Constant criticism or belittling
-
Threats of violence or intimidation
-
Financial control or manipulation
-
Monitoring communications or activities
-
Emotional manipulation and gaslighting
-
Physical violence or threats
Through Joy Forrest’s inspiring story, we explore how God’s love and power can lead to freedom from life-threatening situations. Joy’s journey from surviving IPV to leading a global ministry demonstrates that healing is possible. She equips churches and counselors to effectively support victims, sharing the message that God wants to set you free.
If you or someone you know is struggling, know that God’s love can guide you toward your epic comeback.
