Violence Among Us: Ministry to Families in Crisis
Authors: Brenda Branson and Paula J. Silva
In the Christian community, one in every four women experiences family violence. As the awareness and incidence of domestic violence increase, however, pastors find themselves ill-equipped to deal with the crisis. There is very little training, if any, provided in seminary on this subject. The challenge for every pastor and counselor is to go beyond a casual awareness of the problem to the harsh reality of this epidemic, to move past apathy to conviction, and to turn empathy into compelling action.

Author: Anita Lustrea
Anita Lustrea, Co-host and Executive Producer of Midday Connection. “Sometimes the church tries to sweep the hard stories under the carpet.
