Today's podcast episode features an original Audible chapter from my new book, All the Scary Little Gods. It's an analogy I wrote several years ago when I was trying my darndest to explain my situation to people who couldn't wrap their brains around it.
In the years since that time, I've heard from countless Christian women how much it helped them understand what they were going through. Today you can listen to this story as it was recorded for the Audible version of All the Scary Little Gods. I hope it helps you find clarity and hope.And maybe even a few laughs along the way.

Author, Tiffany Yecke Brooks has done it again with her new book, Holy Ghosted: Spiritual Anxiety, Religious Trauma, and the Language of Abuse. (Don't you absolutely LOVE that title? She's an amazing writer.)
Have you ever been ghosted by someone? They disappeared from your life, seemingly into thin air? Have you ever been worried that God might ghost you, especially if you donât dot your âiâsâ and cross your âtâs?â Spiritual anxiety is common among Christians, and Dr. Tiffany Yecke Brooks wants to break that down with you to show that even though people may try to scare you into believing that God will ghost you if you don't do what they want you to do, that's not who God is.
In this episode, Tiffany answers questions such as:
âWhat is the definition of spiritual anxiety?â âHow do I overcome spiritual anxiety?â âWhat are some different ways of looking at commonly told Bible stories?â And more!This interview is the bomb, I'm telling you. And if you love what you learn from Tiffany and want to get into it with her IN PERSON, next Monday, April 22, Tiffany is joining us live on the âFlying Free podcast clubâ gathering.

âWhy do you keep bringing up the past?â
âYou can't have boundaries with me. You're my wife.â
âYou're too sensitive.â
âI said I was sorry. You need to accept that. Let's choose to have a good day now.â
âYou think you're so perfect.â
Do these phrases sound familiar? They certainly sound familiar to me. I want to show you some ways you can combat these words your abuser throws at you, even if youâre just combating them in your own mind. You donât even have to say anything out loud (because we all know what happens when we try to reason with an abuser/fool). You can just say these phrases Iâm going to teach you in your head, and that will be enough to give you the empowerment and strength you need!
But first, letâs check out a negative review I recently received *gasp* and look to Matthew 23 to help us figure out if this reviewer is on the right trackâŠor not.

In todayâs episode, I answer more listener questions from women just like you who are trying to figure out what is happening inside of their painful and confusing marriage. If you want to leave a question for me to answer on the Flying Free Podcast, I would love to hear from you! Here are the questions being addressed today:
Is my husband emotionally abusive or is it possible that heâs just emotionally weak and unavailable due to his own past and trauma that he hasn't dealt with yet?Does my husband abuse me on purpose? Does he know what heâs doing?How do I know itâs time to leave my abusive husband?Has my abusive husband actually changed, or is he a fraud?Read the show notes and/or ask Natalie a question here

Have you ever been told you are incorrigible? Or how about contumacious, which means stubbornly and willfully disobedient to authority? Janetâs church promised to help and protect her, but when she decided to set a boundary to protect herself by divorcing her abuser, they turned on her with this vicious name-calling.
Sort of like her abuser, come to think of it.
In this final episode of our excommunication series, Janet outlines her story of waking up to abuse, seeking help from her church, and receiving a proverbial beating in return. Letâs unmask these particular wolves in Janetâs story so that we can learn how to unmask others in our own lives and in the lives of the people we care about.

In part two of our excommunication series, I interview Valerie, a former member of a Reformed Baptist church that excommunicated her for divorcing her unfaithful and emotionally abusive husband.
After years of receiving âhelpâ from her church as she endured betrayal after betrayal from her husband, she said enough was enough. But even as she divorced her husband and then tried to leave the church peacefully, they wouldnât allow it. They had to have the last word. Listen to Valerieâs story today.

âYour high-handed sin against God is a dangerous domain, especially for those that claim Christ and have identified with the church.â Mareida read these words in shock after her âsinâ of running away from her abuser had reached the ears of her church.
Marieda has a story to tell, and youâll want to listen in. Itâs a story of freedom from emotional abuse and then being punished for it by the church that was supposed to protect her. Itâs a story of deep betrayal but also rising from the ashes.
This is the first in a series of three episodes about excommunication.
Meet Marieda. Here is her excommunication story.

Is teaching survivors how to have boundaries the equivalent of victim blaming? Iâve seen this topic come up again and again, and I thought it was time I stated what I believe about it. The bottom line is that I believe that boundaries is an essential tool in a survivorâs toolbox. I also believe abuse is never, ever the survivorâs fault. Those two beliefs can go hand in hand nicely, and Iâm going to show you how.
Join me as I explain my stance, why itâs important, and what McDonaldâs burgers and fries have to do with the whole sordid affair.

Deconstruction can seem daunting, and you might find yourself becoming fearful of even starting. But let me tell you this: Deconstruction doesnât have to mean losing your church family. Deconstruction doesnât have to mean losing your faith. Deconstruction doesnât have to mean losing your relationship with God.
In todayâs episode, Angela Herrington joins us to talk about the following:
How faith deconstruction intersects with the process of healing from emotional and spiritual abuseHow you can deconstruct and still keep your church and the people within it who matter to youWhat role forgiveness plays in our faith journey if weâve experienced abuse, and so much more.Read the show notes and/or ask Natalie a question here

Have you ever been told to, âfirst take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will be able to see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eyeâ in regards to your emotionally abusive marriage? That passage of the Bible is often used to mutualize the sin of the abuser and his victim. This is called sin-leveling, and itâs a form of spiritual abuse.
Karen McMahon is here to show us how to take back the meaning of these verses to empower and strengthen ourselves.

On January 1st I asked the Christian women in my private forum to tell me what truth they learned in 2023 that had rocked their world and changed their life forever.
Then I read their answers, and they took my breath away.
When I started breathing again, I knew I had to share them with you, so I created this bonus Flying Free podcast episode AND a PDF download for you HERE.
These are all written by ordinary Christian women in extraordinarily challenging and painful marriages.
I hope these thoughts will give you hope and a vision for what is possible.

Sometimes your circumstances are completely outside of your control, and no matter how much you may want to leave them behind you, you simply cannot. Sometimes this is the emotionally abused womanâs situation. They may want to leave, but they canât do that today, tomorrow, or even next year. They have to stay for whatever reason. Are they doomed to a life of misery and pain? No. Absolutely not.
Diana Swillinger has some practical strategies about how you can grow while staying. You canât fix your circumstances, but you can transform your SELF. You can focus on your own self-development right where youâre at. Letâs do it together.

Have you ever gone around in circles during a conversation with someone with no hope of ever reaching any kind of resolution? The abuse cycle is just like that â a never-ending loop of tension, an explosion, and then most confusing of all, a really âgoodâ part of the cycle where the abuser is seemingly kind.
But how do we get off of this chaotic merry-go-round? How do we interrupt the cycle? Iâm glad you asked. As a former card-carrying member of the merry-go-round, I have a few ideas for you as you work towards interrupting the cycle.
