A toxic man doesn’t just wound the woman he targets — he leaves scars on the children too.
When he projects his pain, anger, and insecurity onto her, everyone in the home suffers.
💔 Children in these homes:
👉Learn fear instead of safety
👉Confuse love with control
👉Doubt their worth
👉Often repeat the cycle later in life
“If anyone does not provide for his relatives, especially for his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.” – 1 Timothy 5:8
💡 WHAT A GODLY MAN LOOKS LIKE
👉Loves his wife as Christ loved the church (Eph. 5:25)
👉Protects women & children from harm
👉Takes responsibility for his words & actions
👉Repents quickly when wrong
👉Builds up, not tears down (1 Thess. 5:11)
🙏 A PRAYER OF REPENTANCE FOR MEN
“Lord, forgive me where I’ve failed my family. Heal the harm I’ve caused. Teach me to love, protect, and lead with humility like You. Amen.”
🛡 BOUNDARIES FOR OVERCOMERS IN HIM
👉No access to your emotional vulnerabilities
👉Protect your children’s hearts & ears
👉Stop justifying toxic behavior
👉Set consequences for disrespect
👉Keep a safe support system
👉Pray for daily discernment (James 1:5)
👉Remember — even Jesus walked away from harmful people (Luke 4:30)
🚨 NOTE FOR MEN READING THIS
A Godly man isn’t offended by the call to protect women & children — he answers it.
Only men not living this way feel “attacked” by these truths.
Overcomers in Him — protect your peace, your children, and your calling.
God has not called you to live under abuse, but to live in freedom through Him.
(Matthew 10:16)
