David Edgington
In "The Abusive Wife," David Edgington delves into the often-unaddressed issue of female abuse within marriage. He uses scripture to define and illustrate abusive behavior in wives, challenging the common tendency to solely focus on male culpability in marital conflict. Edgington provides a framework for understanding the dynamics of abusive relationships, offering practical guidance for both victims and those seeking to intervene.

In this episode, we talk with Kevin Griffin, pastor of counseling at Refuge Church, about the problems feminism has created in the church, especially by allowing women’s sins to go unaddressed. In Proverbs, we have various warnings against brawling or contentious women, yet in the church today it is seldom you will see pastors address such women.
We’ll also talk about David Edgington’s forthcoming book from New Christendom Press, “White Knights and Reviling Wives.” Not only is the book helpful at diagnosing this problem, it also provides practical tools for dealing with reviling women. Finally, Kevin and Eric will talk about practical tips for husbands and counselors in dealing with difficult situations. Should you counsel them together or alone? How do you confront these sins?
