ARE YOU IN AN EMOTIONALLY DESTRUCTIVE RELATIONSHIP OR KNOW SOMEONE WHO IS?

The church has been silent on the devastating consequences of emotional abusive and other kinds of destructive relationships because the damage is not obvious. Physical injuries we see. Wounds to one’s soul and spirit are less easily detected but are just as real and painful as physical injuries can be.

God’s word cautions us about the consequences of destructive relationship patterns. Proverbs 11:9 says that “with their words the godless destroy their friends, and Jesus calls verbal abuse tongue murder (see Matthew 5:21,22). How do we recognize and more importantly help those in destructive relationships?

Leslie Vernick, Christian counselor, national speaker and author of the book, The Emotionally Destructive Relationship, will help you learn:

●Five different destructive relationship patterns and why they are destructive.  

●Practical biblical steps to invite someone into healthy change to stop destructive patterns from continuing.

●Key ingredients for healthy relationships to flourish

●How to tell if someone is repentant in order for true reconciliation to take place

●Common mistakes people helpers make working with this problem
