About this episode

Janet Aucoin and Kevin Carson discuss how to handle mistreatment in relationships while honoring Christ.

When someone you love causes you pain, how do you name what’s happening, and how do you respond in a way that honors Christ? In this conversation, Janet Aucoin sits down once again with repeat guest Kevin Carson to explore how counselors discern the nature and depth of mistreatment in relationships, from safety concerns to a person’s emotional and spiritual well-being. Drawing from the stories of Job and Peter, they reflect on God’s compassion and mercy in the midst of suffering, and how His people are called to walk in trust, wisdom, and obedience even in confusing and painful circumstances. ⁠⁠ Episode Transcript⁠⁠⁠⁠ Resources: Podcasts Helping Wives of Ungodly Husbands - Joyful Journey The Hesed Love of God - Joyful Journey Demonstrating Hesed Love - Joyful Journey Loving Their Souls - Joyful Journey Responding to Criticism - Joyful Journey When Someone Else is Sinning - Joyful Journey Website Masters of Arts in Biblical Counseling Visit the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Joyful Journey website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to sign up for our newsletter, view a transcript, and search previous episodes.
