0:00.0	Welcome to betrayal trauma recovery. This is Anne. So 2019, I was studying the New Testament from the Bible.
0:08.5	And those of you who are not Christian, hopefully you can still glean some wisdom and some insight from my studies.
0:18.3	I wanted to dedicate this episode to some of the verses that I read that I thought
0:24.5	were very applicable to our situation. Similarly, there are some very sexist, misogynistic
0:31.1	verses in the Bible, particularly by Paul. So I am not going to cover those or focus on those today. If you're wondering about
0:40.7	these scriptures that say things like women should be silent or they shouldn't speak in church
0:44.4	or they should obey their husbands or whatever, please read the book, Jesus Feminist by Sarah
0:49.9	Bessie. That is on our website, BTR.org backslash books. She really puts all of those types of
0:56.5	scriptures in context. And I don't want to focus on those today. So I'm not going to be covering
1:02.7	those. If you've read those scriptures and you've thought, what is going on with these verses?
1:08.1	I highly recommend that book. Again, that's Jesus Feminist by Sarah Bessie,
1:12.6	and you can order that book on our website, btr.org backslash books. What I really wanted to talk
1:20.6	about was the comforting scriptures that can really bring us comfort and also help us know that setting boundaries is God's way of
1:30.3	helping us stay safe. I believe God is a God of boundaries. He sets commandments and the commandments
1:37.5	are to protect ourselves and they're also to protect other people. So for example, if we do not
1:43.1	lie, we are protecting other people. And it is a way
1:47.4	of showing love for ourselves and showing love for our fellow men. But before I start sharing my
1:54.2	thoughts from the New Testament, I want to remind everyone that betrayal trauma recovery group,
1:59.8	which is our online support group,
2:01.5	it's live, our coaches are awesome. It is running every day, multiple times a day, and multiple
2:07.2	time zones. This is the best way for you to get immediate and appropriate and ethical help.
2:14.6	You can get on every single session. It's up to, I think we're up to 19 or 20 sessions a week right now. You can get on every single session. It's up to, I think we're up to 19 or 20 sessions a
