Hi, this is Natalie Hoffman of Flying Free Now.com, and you're listening to the

Flying Free Podcast, a support resource for Women of faith, looking for hope and healing from hidden

emotional and spiritual abuse.

Welcome to episode 21 of the Flying Free Podcast. Today I have something a little bit

different for you. I wanted to let you know that I'm actually at the tail end of recording my book, Is It Me making sense of your confusing marriage, a Christian

woman's guide to hidden emotional and spiritual abuse for audible.

And hopefully that will be available on audible on Amazon by the end of June 2019.

So for today I am going to actually read a section of my book.

This is from chapter six called The Roles of Others.

And in this chapter I talk about the roles

that all the different people play in an abusive relationship.

It's because it's not just you or and your husband.'s also your family and friends it's the

counselors that you see it's your church and actually that's the little section

that I'm going to read for you today, the part about your church.

So here we go.

Hopefully this will give you a little taste of what the audible version is going to sound like.

I work with women of faith and destructive marriages because I have a high view of women, a high view of Jesus, and a high view of marriage.

Intimate partner abuse tells a lie about women, a lie about Jesus, and a lie about marriage.

These lies need to be exposed. For the sake of the gospel, these lies need to stop. Where you find the true gospel, you find

love, hope, and healing. You find compassion, truth, and humility. Where you find the anti-Gosple, you find hate, hopelessness, and destruction.

You find apathy, lies, and pride.

With Jesus, there is no condemnation, Romans 8. With Satan there is no condemnation Romans 8.
