    Podcast #33 - ”Untwisting Scriptures” author Rebecca Davis talks about Book 5 & Book Crafters Academy

    "Untwisting Scriptures" author Rebecca Davis talks about her latest book: Untwisting Scriptures to Find Freedom and Joy in Jesus Christ: Book 5 Brokenness & Suffering, as well as her author coaching training called Book Crafters Academy. Once again Anna and Rebecca dive into some common teachings in the church and ask the question, does this align with scripture? “Brokenness" as a lifestyle is often taught as a “holy” way of living, as if we are to constantly live as a broken vessel in order for God to use us. Rebecca explains that the bible never talks about God “breaking” His faithful people. God is our savior and rescuer, not an abuser who breaks His people down. The Bible explains that He heals the broken hearted and sets the captives free. So why are we being taught the opposite? This teaching can be misleading and can misrepresent God as an abuser. It sounds “holy” to ask God to break you, but this is not what God has for us according to the scriptures. He wants us to be healed and whole. Anna and Rebecca discuss the term “victim mentality” and how sometimes the term is used to label and dismiss people who are suffering. Labelling someone and saying they have a victim mentality can be a way of bypass someone’s feelings and gaslighting their reality. Although it’s true that some people can get stuck in this mentality and use it as an excuse not to heal and move forward, this label can be misused and stop people from getting the help they need and sharing their story. And, they talk about Jesus and boundaries. Some people teach that Jesus never had boundaries and that we are to let our guards down and let everyone in. That’s not true either. Jesus constantly took time away to be alone with His Father. He often would leave his friends and family, their needs and demands, and go spend time getting refreshed in the presence of God. He also was very mindful of which questions to answer, how to answer and knew when to engage with people and address certain situations. We can learn a lot from His example. Lastly, they discuss Book Crafters Academy, Rebecca's author coaching training.

    Podcast #32 - Psychologically kidnapped? Coercive control and domestic abuse w/ Dr. Debra Wingfield

    October is Domestic Abuse Awareness Month! This is a very INFORMATIVE podcast on domestic violence and coercive control. PDF slideshow available (link below). What is the difference between domestic violence and coercive control? For years, people have thought of domestic abuse as only physical violence, but research shows that domestic abuse is not an "incident" that happens, but rather can be a pattern of behavior of coercive control. Many times domestic abuse and coercive control can fly under the radar and look "normal" when in reality, it isn't. Physical violence is an obvious way to recognize abuse. However, there are many other non-physical forms of abuse that we dive into in this podcast, including: coercive control, intimidation, oppressive language, emotional and financial abuse, isolation, gaslighting, name calling, etc. Children can also be used as a tool to manipulate and abuse a spouse. "Stay and Pray" is a common yet very damaging message that is preached to women in the church. Often times women stay in abusive relationships longer because of religious beliefs! Debra Wingfield, Ed.D. is an Author, Speaker, and Trainer with 46 years of combined experience working with abuse across the lifespan. She counseled children and adults who experienced family violence, abuse, and child maltreatment for over 25 years. She educates and trains professionals across multiple disciplines-mental health, advocates, attorneys, and court professionals on the impacts of coercive control, domestic abuse and family violence. A former faculty member in psychology and counseling at Regis University and the University of Southern Colorado. The author of healing from abuse books for adults and children include Eyes Wide Open: Help! with Control Freak Co-Parents, From Darkness to Light: Your Inner Journey, and Through a Child’s Voice: Transformational Journaling.

    Podcast #31 - How to recognize narcissistic tendencies in relationships with Annette Chesney

    Join us for this incredibly insightful podcast episode with Annette Chesney! The topic of "narcissism" is a popular topic in the world today. What is it? What does it look like? The lingering affects of narcissistic abuse can cause you to doubt yourself and keep you "stuck". In this episode we talk about how to identify narcissistic traits and behaviours. She also introduces the idea of a "narcissistic spectrum" and the varying degrees of a narcissist (Category 1 - 4) and explains each stage and what’s going on for that individual. “Just because someone is out of a relationship, doesn’t mean that they’re automatically healed”. Going through a healing process after a narcissistic relationship is so important, as you can have lingering trauma and hinderances. There are 5 stages of grief when it comes to narcissistic abuse and in some ways are more complicated and convoluted than imagined. Annette Pastored for over 15 years and during that time had a support group ministry that offered pastoral care, counselling and inner healing. She then launched her own business and started coaching business woman, teaching them how to get "unstuck".

    Podcast #29 - Post Abortion Grief and Trauma Recovery with Dave Wernli

    Trigger warning: In today's podcast/video we discuss the sensitive topic of post abortive grief and trauma recovery. In today's podcast we discuss the sensitive, important topic of post abortive grief and trauma recovery. This is not a political discussion, nor an ethical discussion. We are talking about the grief that having an abortion can produce, on both women and men, and how to recover. In some ways, it's the hidden trauma, because in the church, there can be shame around it so it's not talked about. And outside of the church, most discussion of grief or a traumatic impact is minimized. Dave discusses the fascinating biological changes that happen in the mother's body during pregnancy and after abortion, and how it also affects the biological father (if he's present). He shares touching stories of men and woman who have gone through this healing journey and how the love and comfort of God can bring healing. David and his wife Janet work with a post abortion recovery ministry. They use various techniques and activities to help unlock the stored trauma in the body, calm the nervous system and release the trauma.
