Have you ever wondered what Genesis 3:16 really means? Or perhaps your abuser is accusing you of forcing him into a transactional relationship simply because you’ve set down some boundaries he doesn’t like? How do we deal with these tough questions? In this episode, Natalie answers these questions by getting into the nitty gritty of Genesis 3:16, why we can trust ourselves, how not to get hooked in our abuser’s little game, and more. Let’s get out of the guilt and shame loop together. 

Key Points From This Episode:

• Our first listener question: “What does Genesis 3:16 really mean?” (4:01)
• The revelation that the Bible is a starter log of a fire, but the actual fire is… listen and find out!
• The Holy Spirit lives inside of YOU. He gives YOU wisdom too!
• Why men probably don’t want to let go of their power and control in the world just yet. 
• Listener question number two: “Does setting a boundary now mean we have a transactional relationship?” (20:58)
• How to not get hooked back into the crazy game abusers like to play (and what that game is).
• What do we do with comments that are designed to trigger our guilt and shame?
• Remember, just because your abuser says that you're mean doesn't actually mean you're mean. (But what DOES it mean?)
