This episode is absolutely PACKED with some amazing tools and resources as we talk all about domestic abuse and violence within and outside of religious spaces. Domestic abuse and violence is a problem that is rampant in many spaces that we all walk in. I talk with Sherri Brown, who has been doing work in this space for years, about how to spot domestic abuse, how to respond, and what to start looking for. We talk through some pretty chilling stories of real-life women in her world that have shared their stories of abuse, and also how they've gotten out of it. 

A few things... 

- This is hard episode to listen to. Trigger warning for any type of abusive relationship. Use your discernment as you listen. And also, reach out if you need help.
