Many Christian women in destructive or confusing marriages have learned to say things like:

• “It’s not that bad.”
• “I just need to pray harder.”
• “Maybe I’m too sensitive.”

But Scripture shows us something different.

God invites honesty.
• David cried out in the Psalms.
• Job told the truth about his suffering.
• Jesus named betrayal, grief, and injustice.

Truth-telling is not lack of faith. It’s the beginning of healing.

When a woman can say:
👉 “This relationship is hurting me.”
👉 “I feel afraid, controlled, or unseen.”

…that’s when God’s light starts entering the situation.

🌿 The Life Recovery Bible is structured so honesty feels safe and guided:
1. The 12 Steps
• Help people admit reality without shame.
• Step 1 alone is powerful for trauma bonds:
“We admitted we were powerless…”
This doesn’t mean weak—it means truthful.
2. Devotionals
• Help women connect Scripture to real emotional pain.
• Gentle, reflective, not condemning.
3. Group Guide
• Encourages community so women don’t feel alone.
• Healing happens in safe, truthful relationships.

Take an important next step toward a new life and a hope-filled future with the Life Recovery Bible, which provides a powerful foundation for recovery with spiritual care, practical wisdom, and the life-changing Word of God.
Whether you’re in a dark valley or walking with someone through theirs, millions have chosen the Life Recovery Bible, which is packed with practical notes, helps, and themes that are fully integrated with the twelve-step program and point you back to your Creator, who alone is the source of freedom, hope, and victory.

This is post separation abuse, something many of my clients and I have experienced and relate to.

If you have left a narcissist have you found yourself back in court over and over again for false accusations and legal abuse? 🙋🏻‍♀️🙁😳

Women, Abuse and the Bible shares verses from Psalms to describe abusive men.

This seemed so fitting in the case of Michael McKee in the Columbus, Ohio murder of his ex-wife and her husband, Monique and Spencer Tepe.

In Uncomplicate It, international speaker Hosanna Wong invites you to move past the lie that your relationship with God must look like someone else’s, or that it must look like it did years ago. Instead, she unpacks what God’s Word actually says about connecting with Him, and offers you a permission slip to enjoy God in the unique way He’s created you to.

Nurturing the Gift Within

We all have gifts that we are born with, that when watered and nurtured, become a blessing to us and to others. My gift, is the “gift of gab”, never meeting a stranger because they become a friend first and just generally loving people. I jokingly admit to starting my “social work career” back in my school days supporting friends over the phone, planning school events and serving the elderly sister’s at my high school. Social Work was a natural outpouring of what I already loved doing: supporting and caring for others while listening to their stories and helping them reconnect to the good within them.

Fast forward 28 years, and here I am, still doing that which I feel called to do. After many years of experience at Family Service of Lucas County, The YWCA Battered Women’s Shelter and a variety of private counseling practices, I have ventured out into my own business: Cynthia Wagenhauser, MSW, LISW, Deep Roots Family Therapy. Where I help adolescents, parents, families and individuals overcome struggles and move on to a healthier and happier life.

The metaphor of roots, and the grounding and strength they provide the tree, allowing it to flex in the wind and rain, reminded me of my work with people. When struggling emotionally, many have either never had a good foundation, been infected with disease, or have stretched so far to see the sun, that they have toppled over. My goal as a therapist is to listen and teach people how NOT to be carried off by any old wind or storm that hits their life. In order to fully grow and bloom into the people God created us to be, we need to have the human resources of love, nurturing, guidance and encouragement to get us there.
