More Than Fine

Many of us have received wrong teachings about God's view of women, and it's negatively affected the way we see ourselves. Kristi McLelland lays a solid, biblical foundation for understanding the heart of God towards women and our special place in creation. She explains the role of women in relation to men as God originally intended it, and how The Fall distorted that plan. She corrects our understanding of Jesus's interactions with women and highlights His mission to restore honor and dignity to women. Kristi also gives insights into the biblical discussion of divorce and how it applies to our lives today.

This episode covers all the basics of getting out of (and getting over) toxic relationships. Tiffany Denny from the Relationship Recovery shares red flags every woman should know about (like gaslighting) and explains how trauma bonding causes us to be attracted to abusive people. She helps us to understand the confusing and addictive nature of the abuse cycle, and clarifies how codependency keeps us in (but NEVER causes) toxic relationships. We cover why you must have a safety plan before leaving an abusive situation and how to use methods like no contact and gray rock to manage parenting and communication. Tiffany also shares daily practices for healing well and describes how to approach dating in the aftermath of abuse.
