Difficult Relationships - Christian Wisdom for Life's Toughest Ties

My dad is a covert narcissist and violently & manipulatively abused me for 30 years. I only came to this realization in the last year. My dad was also a pastor for more than 3 decades, so I truly believed my life was "normal" as he used his spiritual authority abusively to control and hurt my family. This podcast was recommended by my therapist and it has been transformational in understanding my parents and the true reality of my relationship with them. I appreciate how Kris helps apply God's word and truth in how to navigate and manage relationships with narcissists & toxic people. Kris' application of scripture has helped me with my anger, bitterness, and the grief of mourning my childhood and relationship with my parents. Her perspective is very refreshing and has helped me in more ways I can express. Thank you for ministering to me through this podcast.

Biblically sound, encouraging, and empowering. Deal with the past to move on to the present. Allow Jesus to do the work. Don’t be a doormat. Establish boundaries.

I just found this podcast and I’m so, so, so grateful!!! Thank you for the work you’re doing. God’s work for those of us that are seeking God but confused by the extreme emotional abuse that we have endured/are enduring.

I have gotten a tremendous amount out of this podcast and I am grateful for Kris Reece and her biblical wisdom. However, I do not believe in searching the scriptures that are not king James, so I cannot give it five stars. A few of those scriptures I thought like, Kris did not have a good grasp on what they actually mean, so again I cannot give it 5 stars. Also, you cannot forgive somebody who is not repentant for what they’ve done, so once again, not five stars.
