Hey friends!
We very excited to share this episode with you because we have our very first guest joining the podcast! AJ's uncle, Donavan Grant, has been a licensed clinical mental health counselor for over 20 years and specializes in working with the survivors, and offenders, of domestic violence.
He'll be talking with us about how to recognize it in relationships, why people will sometimes stay in relationships with their abuser, ways the Church hasn't always handled domestic violence situations well, how support those in an abusive relationship, and resources available to those looking for a way out.
We know this is a long one, but we think it's really beneficial to have open conversations like this as the statistics show domestic violence in relationships has grown to be more and more common.
Be sure to check the links below for the resources mentioned in this episode. If you, or somebody you know, is in an abusive relationship, remember - You're not alone. Everyone is worthy of being safe and loved well.
Cheers,
AJ & Amy
