Joy Equals Strength Podcast

I, Beth, felt so validated when I read the book Prodepence: Moving Beyond Codepedency. I wasn't co-dependent. I was doing my best to love the addict I was married to and hold my family together in spite of the bad advice I had been given. I breathed a sigh of relief. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is caring for a loved one in the throes of addiction whether it is sexual addiction or something else.

I (Beth) have spoken with so many women who are angry with Yahweh (God) for not stopping the abuse or for allowing it to happen. They can not understand why a loving God doesn’t stop abuse from happening. He gets blamed for the actions of humans. We get into why abuse is not the fault of Yahweh but of the hardness of  hearts.
