Is Your Church Actually Safe for Abuse Survivors? Here's How to Find Out [379]

Dela

In this episode I’m answering a pressing question Christian women in difficult marriages ask: how do you find a church that will actually support you instead of silence you?

Because not all churches are created equal, and the difference between a safe church and a harmful one can change everything for a woman trying to find her footing. I’ll break down exactly what to look for, what to ask, and what red flags to run from.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

  • There's a question you can ask a pastor before ever setting foot in a pew that will tell you almost everything you need to know about whether that church is safe.
  • What a church puts on its website (and what it leaves off) reveals far more than you might think about how they actually treat abuse survivors.
  • One word in a pastor's answer about couples counseling is a dealbreaker. Do you know what it is?
  • The church's leadership page can disqualify them before you ever walk through the door. 
  • There's a theology that sounds biblical and even beautiful to some women, but I make a case that it's actually setting the stage for harm.
