Flying Free

著者: Natalie Hoffman
  • サマリー

  • Flying Free is a support resource for women of faith who need hope and healing from hidden emotional abuse, spiritual abuse, and narcissistic abuse. Because of misogynistic theology taught in controlling and spiritually abusive churches, many Christian women find themselves in destructive marriages where there is an uneven power dynamic. Male partners use their status as a husband to gain power and control over a woman’s mind, emotions, body, social life, finances, and more. When she tries to get help from her equally abusive church environment, she is betrayed and re-abused. Flying Free offers a Christ-centered, gospel-oriented perspective on domestic abuse that protects and honors the voices and autonomy of women. Tune in each week to hear conversations with emotional abuse advocates and fellow survivors who will walk with you on your journey up and out. We hear you. You are not alone.

  • What Does a Safe Church Really Look Like? [324]
    2025/04/22

    Go to flyingfreeworkshop.com to register for our $1 workshop: Is It Abuse? (or am I just being too sensitive?)


    On today’s episode, I’m talking with Dr. Andrew Bauman—licensed mental health counselor, author, and founder of the Christian Counseling Center for Sexual Health and Trauma. We’re digging into his powerful new book, Safe Church: How to Guard Against Sexism and Abuse in Christian Communities, and whew…this one’s going to name things you’ve felt for years but maybe never had words for.

    This episode is a raw, no-fluff look at what’s really happening behind the stained-glass windows:

    • 82% of women say sexism shaped their church experience—and 35% report sexual harassment. Let that sink in.
    • How twisted theology has been used to minimize abuse, silence women, and turn forgiveness into a weapon
    • Real, doable steps churches can take to stop being breeding grounds for harm and start becoming actually safe
    • Why men in leadership must do their own deep healing before they can lead anyone else
    • The holy importance of listening to your gut, your body, and your sacred knowing when something just feels off

    If you've ever been told to “just forgive and move on,” felt erased in your own spiritual community, or wondered why abusers get protected while survivors get blamed—this conversation will wrap you in validation and truth.

    Dr. Bauman speaks as someone who’s been on both sides of this story. And his message? You’re not crazy. You’re not alone. And the God you love is nothing like the systems that harmed you.
