Abstract
It's easy to get stuck in painful, even destructive, relationships. While most of our relationships may be healthy and satisfying, we often have one or two important people who change the rules and drive us crazy—a deadbeat dad, an alcoholic spouse, a wayward child, a demanding boss, a lazy roommate. When does true love give in? When does true love push back? In this Webinar, Dr. Tim Clinton and Pat Springle will share cutting-edge insights from their new book to show you how to love and set effective limits. You'll learn how to say yes when you want to and no when you need to, giving up your need to please, rescue, fix or control others in order to embrace healthier relationships.
Participants will:
- Identify the warning signs of unhealthy relationships and the roots of relationship troubles
- Redefine love, trust and their responsibility to the people they care about in order to live within their limits
- Understand and experience the power and freedom of forgiveness as God intends

Abstract
For too long, the Church has been silent on the devastating consequences of emotional abuse and other types of destructive behavior in homes. While the physical injuries are obviously visible, emotional and relational damages are not. To make matters worse, victims are often lied to about the abuse and pressured not to tell others. Yet, wounds to one’s soul and spirit are just as real and painful as physical injuries. God’s Word cautions us about such destructive relationships and domestic violence. Proverbs 11:9 says that “with their words the godless destroy their friends,” and Jesus names verbal abuse as “tongue murder” (see Matthew 5:21, 22). This Webinar will encourage and empower counselors and church leaders alike to recognize the patterns of domestic violence and respond biblically and competently to this problem in marriages and families.
Participants will:
- Discuss the biblical foundation and insights concerning healthy and destructive relationships
- Be equipped with strategies that are both biblically-sound and practically helpful in empowering individuals to end an abuse cycle and obtain safety, healing, and healthy growth
- Understand the impact domestic abuse has on children including: the abuser’s impact on children and the abused woman’s impact on children
