"Forgiveness is different than putting yourself in a situation where you're going to keep being harmed." –Alisha Roth
Forgiveness doesn't equal trust. 🕊️

I don't agree with a lot of Grudem's views, but he has a lot of fans.
Quote: "Background: Wayne Grudem is not some liberal revisionist. He is a distinguished research professor of theology and biblical studies..."
Wayne Grudem changed his mind on abuse, divorce, and remarriage—and even CBMW reposted his article. That’s a big deal for conservative evangelicals and Reformed Christians. This is not a fringe reading of 1 Cor. 7. It’s a major shift. lifesavingdivorce.com/wayne-grudem...
Loud.
Some marriages are quiet not because they're healthy — but because one spouse is silenced, spiritually pressured, or exhausted from keeping the family looking fine.
That's not peace. That's survival.

Sometimes leaving isn’t the end of your story.
It's the beginning of your safety. 😇
When the Dead Sea Scrolls were published, translators realized: this verse was never about God hating divorce. It's about a husband who hates his wife. 📜

1 in 4 highly religious marriages report abuse. This isn't secular infiltration. It's in our churches. The question isn't whether abuse exists among believers — it's whether we'll protect the vulnerable. 🙏

New study on divorce & young kids misses the key question: WHY? Toxic marriages hurt children too. The reason for divorce changes the outcomes for kids entirely. 🕊️

If the Heritage Foundation really wants to save America, commenters had a few suggestions: enforce child support, teach people to recognize abuse, and stop trapping women in destructive marriages. lifesavingdivorce.com/the-funniest...
What happens when you ask divorced people whether a $4,000 tax credit would have saved their marriage? In 115 responses, the answer was no. Harder divorce would not heal families. It would trap people longer. lifesavingdivorce.com/heritage-fou...
The comments on my #HeritageFoundation post blew up. Some were snarky. Some were fierce. Some were painfully funny because they were true. Here are some of the sharpest public replies. lifesavingdivorce.com/the-funniest...
A tax credit does not make an abuser safe. A waiting period does not create repentance. My new post explains why the Heritage Foundation’s “make divorce harder” ideas are so dangerous. lifesavingdivorce.com/heritage-fou...
The Heritage Foundation says America can be saved by rewarding marriage and making divorce harder. I asked divorced people what they thought. Their answers were blunt, heartbreaking, and impossible to ignore. lifesavingdivorce.com/heritage-fou...
The divorce rate in 2024 is lower than 1970. Anyone saying it's "out of control" is ignorant or lying. There's no divorce crisis — there's a marriage-endangering sin crisis. 🙏

1,000 divorced Christians were studied. Most stayed faithful, kept serving, kept giving.
But two Focus on the Family affiliates told their story very differently.
Which version is your church living out? 🙏

Christians are often told divorce will ruin their lives.
But what if the real devastation isn’t the divorce — it’s the marriage? 💔
Some divorces are tragic.
Some are selfish.
But some divorces save lives. 🕊️

If you have kids and you’ve remarried, don’t pressure your new spouse to parent like you right away. I found this vital when I remarried, even though my kids were over 18. Trust comes before correction. lifesavingdivorce.com/new-steppare...

When your Christian friend doubts your abuse, it can hurt almost as deeply as the abuse itself. 💔
If a Christian friend has ever minimized, spiritualized, or dismissed what you've been through — you are not alone, and you are not required to prove your pain.

Exposing the myth: 'The devil will exaggerate your mate's failures' is NOT a Bible verse. Let's dive into how it wrongly shifts blame onto the wounded spouse instead of addressing real betrayal.
