The Big Problem with Christian Marriage Counseling

Flying Free

Love lets evil do whatever it wants, pretends nothing's happened, and calls a prison a palace. Right? This is the kind of "biblical" message Christian counselors often tout. And it's killing women and children, whether all at once or piece by precious piece.

If you've been hurt by "love," especially when you were desperate for help and safety, you've got an advocate in Cindy Burrell.

Strap in because this episode is loaded with truth bombs:

• Why abusers have the automatic advantage in most Christian counseling
• A big, red flag at a counselor's office (when you see it, RUN)
• Why "Can he change?" is the WRONG question, and, frankly, irrelevant when it comes to abusers
• Two things that will bring out the truth, GUARANTEED (Hint: One is a simple, two-letter word)
• Why the sanctity of marriage is not built on the absence of divorce
