In this episode, Jill and Pastor Nic explore the nuances of abuse and the implications for the church. Using Matthew 18, they discuss how to discern conflict from abuse, how the biblical categories of the wise, foolish, and wicked help identify abusive patterns, and why both overreacting without wisdom and missing the signs of abuse cause real harm. Maturity and discernment are essential.
