I beleive you Michael and it's inexcusable how (the other) Michael Miller treated you. Thank you for bravely sharing your story.
Yes love to have you come to do a Protect The Flock for Daybreak Church in Mechanicsburg PA (there are 3 churches in total) and others who want to join with us
I'm soo excited about this interview. Was following Remnant Radio long before I ran into ctpm. And became even more appreciative when Michael openly stepped into the abuse advocacy world. It really encouraged me to press on in this direction. The pushback against advocates and people helpers when we talk about abuse can be soo depressing.
This was so helpful. Thank you!
Excellent commentary and analysis of this issue. Please keep it up! Very helpful for my husband and I.
Than you for this 🥹🙏🏾
Weird comment but I just love how you all get excited and all start talking at once. It's like watching sisters with a very tight bond.😅
So much truth revealed and explained. Thank you! How can I obtain a copy of the transcript? 🙏 Please
😢😢
Excellent!!!!!
I really appreciate the redemptive tone in CTPM. The Lord wishes than non should perish. And to want to protect victims while hoping that abusers will repent and be reconciled to Christ, even if not to the relationship, is a good tension that many don't want to hold. I am hoping to save up to go through your advocate program. Do you have a statement of faith for CTPM?
Some folks make it sound like a wife is sex and enjoyment popping out baby’s cooking cleaning being a made. When two people in the marriage is supposed too work together as a team
Read ”Love and responsibility” by Karol Wojtyla
Why do people who claim they know God throw victims under the bus and in fact add rejection and judgment and blame onto the victim. They don't think it's right to judge the abuser but they judge the victim. They go to restore the abuser and not the victim. Why? i think they misread the bible. I think they misplace love and forgiveness and ignore accountability. They are ignorant of how to discern and of culpability in God's eyes. i think their boundries are whacked. They circumvent the law in the name of love and forgiveness. They usurp the law. The bible declared where the boundary should be. RENDER UNTO CEASAR WHAT IS CEASARS! if the law lets you down then God will deal with it. He has his ways. The Brute will pay. And we should not go soft on evil.
This was a great conversation! Thank you from a UK church leader 😊

This is exactly how I feel about this issue,. I really appreciate the harsh truths that were spoken by this and I am sure this is the only way to stop the problem with porn and porn mindset.
Yes, Lundy Bancroft stated most domestic abuse is caused by porn, it is the objectification of women,
They crush our spirit. I got away and nothing is working out. Just like he said it wouldn't. They speak curses on you and then tell you they love you. They attack your mind and then want you to give yourself to them. It's horrendous but they get away with it.
Thank you, ladies, for pointing out that God does show His love for us when we are suffering by placing certain people in our lives at that time, agents of His love. So beautiful, thank you!
The question shouldn't be can they change,but WILL they change.I have not heard of one single case of wifebeaters who have profoundly changed with the wives' back-up of the man's change from a violent,cruel abuser to warm,lovin'fuzzy huggin'husband.
How bout being committed to humility, humility humility enough to teach, correct, and rebuke false teachings on headship and submission!
Operate in Humility, Humility, Humility …or TRUTH ???
This a the issue I have with Christianity... God gave Man Free Will. You say He also doesn’t want his children to be hurt... yet many Women are. So why doesn’t this God step in to protect the very creation He made to keep Men company? This ideology is patriarchal... why men believe they own us. And why women fall for this sense of societal,sense of duty. At the cost of theirs, and their children’s lives. More victims God ain’t protecting? This religion is man made, so therefore this God is a victim blamed. Otherwise he would smite down these abusers if He existed.
Absolutely demonic
The problem is that these men still want exalt the first Adam over the second preeminent Adam - Jesus Christ. They are idolaters and want women to worship them as God, the very spirit of antichrist.

Grateful for this ministry! Such a safe place with enlightening resources🙏
Lying and stonewalling deceitfulness are core abuses within all types of abuse. These core behaviors psychologically, emotionally, and spiritually torment and painfully perplex their targets. These behaviors follow what “the father of lies” does. These behaviors are behaviors of Lovelessness and Hatred.
❤🙏🙏🙏
This really helped me….even if I have to go there he’s going to be there
Another wonderful thing about BAND is the immediate prayer support. 😊❤
Great video. And amazing ministry. Love you ladies Brooke and Lauren !
Amen! Magnify the Lord-make Him bigger. ❤️
God gave us redemptive, creative imagination. It is a gift from God.
Zephaniah 3:17- beautiful promise of God nurturing and comforting is in our trauma.
You all are touching on some excellent points-the realities of gradual healing ❤️🩹 from trauma.
God is everywhere seek him 🇦🇺🇦🇺🔥🔥❤️✝️✝️✝️✝️🔥🔥🔥🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇦🇺🇦🇺
This was good!
Great discussion! So many wonderful nuggets to chew on. ❤
This place is already so calming and I can feel the waive of a very healing weekend.
Thank you for shining a light of truth into the darkness. SRA survivors need people to know what happened to us & to know it’s very likely happening in their town, their church, their neighborhood. 🙏🏻💓☀️
I honor each of you for your heart for God.
Single women, who have never been married, are treated the same way in the church that Naghmeh describes divorced women being treated. Exactly the same.
Thank you ladies for addressing this topic. I am searching for the right help I would greatly appreciate 1 single person who cares to help me turn my life around & start a safe home journey for me.
I appreciate all of your information and love for the people in the church going through this difficult 😞 time!!
It’s not true that the person with the money wins! I started with an attorney and had an op on my kids father and luckily I did get supervised visits and feel after going back many times to fight for protection of my kids on my own without an attorney I did get pretty fair deal from courts, but it definitely wasn’t easy!! 😢I am glad it’s over ! At least that part! It’s still five damages to my kids emotionally , unfortunately. They are all adults and I can just pray for them and my grandchildren 🙏🏻
I am separated from my husband and this is 43:58 so true the church needs to teach about abuse. Both domestic, emotional and sexual. Open the eyes of their heart. 💜❤️🩹
All the women in this video are strong warriors! You did a very hard thing - choosing safety and peace! Thank you CTPM for helping women who are trapped!
Dear i'm afraid you are just confused and are confusing many others, in search of clarity. I do adhere to the complementarian view, because God is a God of order. Christ submit intierely to His Father so to man have to Submit to Christ and the woman to her husband. what is the sens to have a head you do not sumit to. just don;t marry and stay with God, far away from marraige tribulations. People we marry are broken just like us, that's not an escuse to those monsters fake christians. But marriage is not for the immatures. the examples you have chosen are not adequate sister. The command is not to murder and David didn't murder goliath for personnal purpose, it was WAR and that's not murder. and the example of Rahab is not to be take to justified sin, because our God is not the God of lies. Rahab context was for her.We can just take that like an escuse and start to lie for escape pains. For me; the botton line is that no one has to expose her/his life when there are in danger of any kind, because emotionnal abuse can lead to so many physical sicknesses, physical abuse can lead to death. so no, no one has to live in fear, it's not the will of God. BUT divorce for all in not a unique answer to crisis, because i have see people repentance and change of heart by God's grace. It's possible for God. May God help us; his children when we choose a partner for life. May we seek His counsels and Will for us. May we trust Him in the storms of life, we change or others change. there is hope in Him. Stay blessed!
