Ep 873 | Is 'Emotional Abuse' Cause for Divorce? | Guest: June Hunt

Today we're joined again by June Hunt, author, singer, and founder of Hope for the Heart, a worldwide biblical counseling ministry, for part two of our discussion on forgiveness. We start off explaining forgiveness in Jesus' context and how we should emulate him. Then we discuss the seriousness of domestic abuse and how emotional abuse is the end result of all abuse. June explains that God did not create us to be abused and it’s not healthy for people to get way with wrongdoing. We also talk about the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation and share the first step toward forgiveness. Stay tuned until the end, when June treats us to a song!
