Here's the thing, ladies, I'm here to tell you you can and will live through the deconstruction Patrick hits on in the video and be stronger on the other side. There is nothing more strengthening than to have everything shaken to pieces only to find the bedrock of Christ beneath your feet.
You cannot love someone to righteousness! Let me say that again: you cannot love someone to righteousness. Only God can bring real change to mankind's heart.
Christian men, here's my message to you: God gave you a beautiful creation HE made to be your wife. It is not your place to critique her, to demand change, complain, grumble, nor use her like a commodity in an effort to take the heat off your plank. (Matthew 7:3) That said, it is your place to provide a covering for her, to edify, nurture, and protect her into the fullness of Christ her Maker as He designed.
I am beyond fed up, having heard the "oh, he's just such a nice guy" deception too many times through the years as so many spectators fall under deception's spell. Do YOU live with these men? Because until you do, you have no idea the battle Christian women fight to see their husbands grow up into Him and own outside their walls what they so carelessly vomited on those within their walls.
Ladies, if you fall under this societal epidemic, REACH OUT....for you are not alone! There are strong sisters who have risen out of dark water who can be with you as Christ takes YOUR hand, as He did ours, and lifts you up out of the drowning. You are beautiful and beloved!
The point here is not to advocate for divorce as the first nor the only option, but one must put into place strong Godly boundaries. Secondly, the point here is not to tear men down, but to say loud and clear to the men: the way UP is most definitely NOT in the tearing down of God's beloved daughters in an effort to shift blame off personal sin and deflect responsibility! The path for us ALL is humility, deep personal inspection, and dedicated growth towards righteousness.
Oh, my God, El Shaddai, come -- destroy deception, denial, deflecting, and gaslighting; heal the broken hearts, drive strife far off, bring unity back to hurting families...for only You can!
