Summary

Let’s get practical today. In this episode, I answer four listener questions by directing you to the best resources I can offer from the Flying Free Podcast. These questions range from “At what point do you refuse to have sex with your husband if he is emotionally abusive?” to “Any recommendations or resources as I go into divorce court?”

After you listen to the episode, be sure to go down to the “Related Resources” section of the show notes to grab all the links to the podcast episodes that are recommended. They are absolute gems!

0:00.0	Hi, this is Natalie Hoffman of Flying Free Now.com and you're listening to the
0:09.3	Flying Free Podcast, a support resource for Women of faith, looking for hope and healing from hidden
0:16.4	emotional and spiritual abuse.
0:21.4	Welcome to episode 229 of the Flying Free Podcast. I want to start off today with
0:28.3	something I read in our Flying Free Private Forum. We have a space in, we have lots of spaces in that forum,
