Hi, we're Hagar's Sisters.
We know that experiencing intimate partner abuse as a Christian can be incredibly complex.
WE OFTEN FEEL TORN BETWEEN TWO WORLDS,
recognizing the wrongness of our situation while striving to stay true to our faith. It is often misapplied scripture related to submission, forgiveness, and divorce that make us feel trapped. While the Christians tell us one thing, the secular world urges us to prioritize our all forms of safety. We feel like we have to choose between a relationship with God and the well being of ourselves and our children. We do not.
If you find yourself in this difficult position, you've come to the right place.
