Victoria shares her inspiring journey from being a lukewarm Christian to becoming a passionate advocate, helping women deepen their faith and understanding of scripture so that they can better discern false teachings, defend the faith, and nurture their families with God's truth in a world full of complex and contradicting ideologies.

Are people abandoning the church, or is the church abandoning its people?Dan and Shannon Boeck are both too familiar with the effects of domestic abuse in Christian environments. Dan served as a pastor for almost 30 years before becoming the executive director at  @CalledtoPeaceMinistries1  (CTPM). Shannon is a trained Domestic abuse advocate and works as a registered nurse in a trauma unit where she sees victims of domestic abuse daily. I was honored to interview Dan and Shannon as we explored the church’s role in either supporting or alienating survivors of domestic abuse. We discussed the critical need for church leaders to be educated on the dynamics of abuse in order to create safe spaces for survivors, the broader societal implications of abuse, and the positive change the church can champion when we respond well.

Unbiblical doctrines can lead people to become restless and anxious for many things, leading to sleep deprivation and exhaustion. But God wants to give us rest.
