Loving people doesn’t mean we need to control their conduct. Loving people means caring without an agenda. As soon as we have an agenda it’s not love anymore. #EverybodyAlways

Why do I feel the need to clarify abuse includes emotional abuse? Why does harm to the human BRAIN often take a backseat?

The pursuit of truth ever reminds us that no matter how much we know or how many people we help, we are always a student, a disciple undergoing training. We are not the Teacher. We are only a servant of the Teacher. There is no arrogance at the foot of the cross.

[Diane Langberg, PhD @DianeLangberg]

We have frequently overemphasized the response of the abused to the exclusion of confronting the behavior of the abuser.  Unfortunately, the church has often reproved the helpless and protected and defended abusers.

Indifference says how you feel or what you want doesn't matter to me. https://t.co/tuDDZ70FTR #EDM

The length of the grieving is determined by the griever, not by how long you, as a comforter, can stand to be sad.  Your work is to be with them where they are, not drag them out where you are more comfortable.

The body of Christ is called to be a sacred place for the vulnerable. We have often chosen to be a safe place for the powerful and have deceived ourselves into believing that God would call that good.

Religious structures that place the burden of male abuse on women create predators like Josh Duggar. This is systemic and intentional. They are also one of the biggest threats against the safety of girls and women due to the generations of damage they cause.

Do you think God is asking you to try harder to become your husband's fantasy wife (which you will never succeed at) or does God have you in your husband's life for a far more radical and redemptive purpose? EDM https://t.co/IVghdBpOkv

When the mourner tells you what they feel and think - you do not teach.  You listen; you bear witness; you reassure because you understand the nature of grief.

[Leslie Vernick @leslievernick]

Behind closed doors & brave smiles, there’s a whole bunch of us marching on private battles nobody knows about, climbing hard mountains that nobody sees, wrestling tough things that nobody has any idea about. But us? We do hard & holy things. We stay in the game. We stay in Him.

I’ve taken a stand. I’d rather be wrong speaking up for the oppressed than be wrong by empowering the oppressor. https://t.co/vurNwHswK1

Forgiveness does NOT mean
I won’t ever talk about it
I won’t seek justice for it
I won’t be horrified by it
I won’t weep over it
I won’t be furious because of it

Forgiveness means
I won’t be enslaved by the never-ending pursuit of getting even

[Tami Heiss @TamiHeiss]

How someone treats you says something about them, not about you.

[Tami Heiss @TamiHeiss]

Submission is never forced. Once it is forced it becomes oppression.
