A man is not a god simply because he is a husband. Too many women have been taught that "submission" means tolerating abuse, deception, manipulation, addiction, infidelity, intimidation, or ungodly leadership. That is not what Scripture teaches. God never calls a wife to submit to sin. He calls us to submit first to Him. A man who refuses to submit his own life to Christ cannot expect unquestioning obedience while leading his family away from God. Pride, control, lies, rage,

When churches tell women to endure abuse in the name of "submission," they are not reflecting the heart of Christ—they are cowardly enabling sin. Jesus never excused oppression. He confronted it. He defended the vulnerable. He called sinners to repentance, not victims to remain in harm's way. At Overcomers in Him, we are passionate about helping women break free from the lies that keep them trapped, heal from the wounds of abuse, and discover their true identity in Christ. Bi

While I most often speak about the male narcissist, it is important to understand that narcissism is not exclusive to men. The majority of my clients are women healing from trauma and narcissistic abuse, which is why much of my content reflects their experiences. However, I have also worked with men who have been deeply wounded by women operating in the same narcissistic spirit. Abuse, manipulation, control, deceit, envy, and destruction are not gender-specific issues. Person

One of the most disorienting dynamics in narcissistic emotional abuse is this: They don’t just hurt you once… they stack offenses. Multiple jabs. Multiple accusations. Multiple moments of disrespect — all at once. Why? Because it floods your nervous system. Your body goes into overwhelm. Your mind can’t process fast enough. Your emotions get tangled. You feel confused, scattered, and unable to respond clearly. And then… if you do try to bring up what happened? They respond

Many trauma survivors don’t just “prefer texting”… they’ve learned it as a form of safety. If you’ve walked through a narcissistic or high-conflict relationship, you understand this on a deep, embodied level. When you’ve endured: • circular conversations that never resolve • rage and emotional volatility • gaslighting that makes you question your reality • constant interruptions, accusations, and control Your nervous system adapts. From a trauma-informed, evidence-based persp

Adult clergy sexual abuse (ACSA) is real. It is harmful. And it is NEVER consensual in the way healthy relationships are meant to be. Clergy are in positions of spiritual authority, trust, and power—and when that authority is used to coerce, groom, or sexually engage with someone under their care, it is abuse. Period. Even if the perpetrator claims they “loved” the person. Even if they “never meant harm.” Even if they insist the other person “consented.” That dynamic is a p

Although the majority of my clients are women healing from narcissistic abuse by men, the spirit of narcissism is not gender-specific. It can operate through men or women, leaders or laypeople, spouses, parents, friends, coworkers, and even within church spaces. 📖Scripture warns us plainly: “But know this: In the last days perilous times will come. For people will be lovers of self… lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its powe

I’ve been that woman. The one who was: Abandoned Rejected Orphaned Abused Falsely accused while I was the one actually being abused Betrayed by those I only ever loved and helped Afraid Confused Making a poor choice because of a wound from another Basing my value on body imperfections Left wondering if I’d ever be enough... I’ve cried until I threw up. I’ve laid in bed wondering if anyone even cared. I’ve watched my children suffer at the hands of someone who was supposed to

An apology without change is not reconciliation—it’s just manipulation & a pause button on the same pattern. In healthy relationships, words matter—but repair requires action. Biblically, being “sorry” was never meant to be the end of the story. God’s model includes repentance, responsibility, and restoration. 👉 Saying “I’m sorry” acknowledges pain. 👉 Repair addresses the damage and changes future behavior. Biblical “Sorry” Looks Like Repentance In Scripture, repentance is

In today’s world, those who serve on the front lines are facing more trauma than ever before. Not just the trauma you witness on the job, but the secondary trauma—the emotional weight of what you must see, hear, absorb, and still keep going. What many don’t understand is that first responders and medical professionals are some of the most impacted by unprocessed trauma, yet are often the least supported emotionally. And this trauma doesn’t stay at work. It shows up in: 🚨 Bur

Because when God defends you, you don’t have to. If you’ve survived narcissistic abuse, you know this pain well: 🔹 Triangulation – lies passed through others 🔹 Flying monkeys – people manipulated to attack your character 🔹 Bearing false witness – accusations meant to provoke, intimidate, or silence you But here is the truth that sets Overcomers free: The Lord is your Defender, your Redeemer, and your Vindicator. “The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” (Ex

Rumination. Overthinking. Replaying. Spiraling. Most survivors don’t realize these aren’t “just thoughts” — they’re protector parts trying to keep you safe. But you can retrain your brain. God made our brains to be neuroplastic which means we can rewire & learn new defaults.

One of the most subtle — and spiritually dangerous — aspects of narcissistic abuse is how it drains your oil, the anointing and strength God gives you to live, love, parent, grow, and fulfill your purpose. A narcissist does not pour into you… they pull from you. Sometimes quietly. Sometimes chaotically. Always consistently. And that constant drain eventually leaves even the strongest woman running on fumes. 🛢️ They Drain Your Oil Through Daily Chaos Narcissistic individua

Over four years as a single mom and many more years as a "single wife," I’ve walked a road many of you know too well. It’s a path marked by heartbreak, endurance, and, ultimately, healing. Some of my deepest healing from a toxic 23-year marriage came during my time as a single mom, while other pieces of my heart were mended in the midst of a future relationship. Healing from severe complex trauma (C-PTSD) is not a straight line—it’s a journey. A long, messy, and deeply transf

Because healing, wholeness, and holiness require daily discipline. Beautiful Sister, if you truly desire to rise, rebuild, and reign as the woman God created you to be — there are five daily absolutes you must guard with intention. These are not optional.
