DIVORCE IN THE CHURCH: RECOGNIZING ABUSE

Recognizing Abuse: The Signs, the Tactics, and the Truth In this eye-opening episode of Naughty vs Nice: A Christian Podcast, hosts Todd and Laura dive deep into the often-missed signs of emotional, psychological, and spiritual abuse in relationships. Abuse isn’t just physical—covert manipulation, gaslighting, financial control, and coercion are equally destructive. We tackle key red flags like: Pornography use and normalization Manipulation through Scripture and twisted Biblical gender roles Control over finances, emotions, and boundaries Gaslighting, blame-shifting, and covert emotional abuse Rage, intimidation, and public embarrassment Through a Biblical and theological lens, we discuss how both men and women can exhibit abusive behaviors, how to recognize them, and how to break free from destructive cycles. If you've ever questioned your safety, your sanity, or your worth, this episode is for you. 🔹 Are you always seeking reassurance that your relationship is ‘okay’? 🔹 Do you feel your emotions and needs are never a priority? 🔹 Is your partner outwardly charming but indifferent to your suffering?
