BoldandWorthy.com Confronts Spousal Abuse in Faith Communities

"God Hates Divorce!" are what abused Christian women face in their Faith Community. BoldandWorthy.com calls for a call to action in helping the abused who suffer in silence.

"Even though I have been physically and verbally abused by my Christian husband, my church does not support my decision for divorce. I feel abandoned” exclaimed one of the many emails Dr. Strachan receives every week from abused Christian Women.

Unfortunately, lack of domestic violence awareness in faith communities causes abused women to feel isolated and abandoned by a place that represents healing for the hurting.

Instead of healing, victims continue to suffer in silence and told to “submit like the bible says” to their abuser.

A recent study done by Dr. Lynne Baker from the University of Queensland
showed that Christian women were forced to endure abuse for years because
they were told by their faith community that leaving their husbands by divorce would be a greater sin.

Women in the study revealed that a greater understanding and awareness of abuse is urgent and necessary in Church communities.

Dr. Yukio Strachan Phillips founder of BoldandWorthy.com and author of the ground breaking eBook for abused women “I Will Not Be Broken. How to Shut Down Verbal Abuse and Bring Out Your Inner Diva”, agrees with the finding of the study.

She survived domestic abuse in a Christian Marriage and experienced the same feelings of abandonment from her Church Community at the time. Dr. Strachan felt the need to write this book to let other women know that they were not alone.

This book will help abused women understand how to escape an abusive relationship with safety and build self-esteem.

According to Dr. Mike Davison, Clinical Psychologist, author, and founder of www.PartnersInPurpose.com "Yukio has provided an invaluable resource
for anyone looking to transcend fear and limitation. I have provided consultation to domestic violence programs for the past 10 years and find Yukio’s book to be truly unique and powerful. She models what is possible for anyone who feels shackled by fear, terror, or limited by abuse or feels restricted or disempowered by their current circumstances"
