@BethMooreLPM Unfortunately the same thing happens with abusive husbands and the church has largely respected the institution of marriage and held marriage in higher regard than those being abused within it. There's a lot that needs to change. Glad you spoke out.
Trauma from sexual abuse occurs when normal responses, like calling for help or finding comfort in relationships, do not work; power is robbed, dignity stolen, and shaming helplessness occurs. The thoughts, feelings, and pain of the victim do not matter.
This Ghislaine Maxwell trial, in my opinion, has been of tremendous importance. Found guilty on 5 of 6 counts. I long for those women to see some semblance of justice done here. https://t.co/jJ2TstB3vj
Contrary to popular belief, children are not resilient, a word which simply means they can return to their original state. They do not “bounce back” from abuse.
I grow increasingly concerned that we have a massive population of people who have placed their faith in Christianity rather than Christ. And an odd concoction of Christianity at that. Faith in Christianity is utterly bereft of power to save a single soul.
Jesus saves.
A guy memorizing Phil 1:1-18 with us told me he was getting so much from it, he read it to a group recently. Got called a liberal. Gonna tell you right now, a lot of folks putting a checkmark in the Christian square are completely out of touch with the actual Jesus of Scripture.
@HerrenTalks I just watched your story for my addictions class for my Masters in Mental Health Counseling. Very, very powerful. God bless you for all you do. Don't change. 😊
@melissamoore@BethMooreLPM That looks good! This Houstonian is excited to stop by LPM when the offices open back up for prayer Tuesday!! Have a great day Ms. Beth!
