You may be surprised to learn how prevalent domestic abuse really is, even within your church community. Sadly, because spousal abuse pervades every pocket of society, the statistical reality is that we all have people in our church who have suffered as victims of violence within the home. How can the church recognize when a member is caught in this type of situation and step in to help? Pastor and counselor Timothy St. John helps both church leaders and members to recognize the warning signs that abuse is taking place within a marriage and gives a framework for understanding and responding when encountering red flags. He offers practical, biblical, and actionable help that will benefit every church that desires to be a place of refuge and support for victims.
