This is Part Three of our series on high-functioning Christian women in destructive marriages. You are the woman people call when something complicated needs solving. You read rooms, spot patterns, and get it right. And yet in this one area of your life, you have been told that your judgment, specifically, cannot be trusted.
This is Part Two of my series on high-functioning Christian women in destructive marriages. In Part One, we explored how the very qualities that make these women extraordinary are the same ones that make them exceptionally vulnerable. Today we’re going deeper into one of the most specific and targeted of those qualities: empathy.
If you’ve ever felt like your compassion is working against you, like the more you understand him, the more stuck you become, this episode will show you exactly what’s happening underneath that cycle. And it will start to give you a way out.
So many capable, gifted Christian women are living a double life that is impressive in public, but diminished in private, and they don’t even have words for what’s happening to them. This episode will change that.
This is one of my favorite interviews! Today I’m talking with my friend, Dr. Tiffany Yecke Brooks, author of Gaslighted by God, Holy Ghosted, and her brand-new book, To Rebehold the Stars: Reimagining Faith After Deconstruction.
If you’ve walked through the painful process of deconstructing the toxic theology you inherited, this conversation is going to knock your socks off.
Drawing from Dante’s Inferno (I know, right?!), classical literature, and deep theological study, Tiffany shows you how to create a new spiritual lexicon that actually reflects the heart of God.
(Listen to find out what that even is!)
This isn’t about burning it all down. It’s about holding up each piece to the light and deciding: Does this stay or go?
What happens when seeing your ex derails all your progress? And why do your friends think he’s such a great guy when you know the truth?
In this episode we tackle three questions: What happens when the abuser is the one who leaves? How do you live with the fear of post-separation or post-divorce revenge? And what do you do when your friends just don’t get it?
