Oh my! It's been 25 months since a ministry trauma hit my husband & I, and we have been at a stand still ever since. Everytime I feel I can move beyond the betrayal, something else happens. Your articulate, informative and encouraging words help tremendously! I also now see possible "timeh trees" in Henry Cloud's book that may assist my husband & I with tools to find our new direction and place in G-d's kingdom. Bless you!
Thanks for sharing this, Mary. I'm so sorry for what you've been through. Give yourself grace as you heal. Sometimes the betrayals are ongoing and not one and done. And thanks so much for the encouragement. It means a lot!
Thank you for this! I’ve been in a very unhealthy ministry setting that was abusive in many of the ways you experienced…why does it always seem that authority and submission become the so important?
I have shared this with others who are going into ministry so they understand these dynamics and the costs associated with unhealthy leadership. May God use this to protect others and encourage them as they also may need to blow the whistle one day!

This is lovely, Rebecca. Strong and healthy post-trauma growth, yes!
I so appreciate your kind words, Robin. It means a lot. God has been so good.
