Hi, we're Hagar's Sisters.
We know that experiencing intimate partner abuse as a Christian can be incredibly complex.
WE OFTEN FEEL TORN BETWEEN TWO WORLDS,
recognizing the wrongness of our situation while striving to stay true to our faith. It is often misapplied scripture related to submission, forgiveness, and divorce that make us feel trapped. While some Christians often tell us one thing, the secular world urges us to prioritize all forms of our safety.
If you find yourself in this difficult position, you've come to the right place.
With more than 17 years of experience working with women experiencing intimate partner abuse, we’ve witnessed more than a thousand women come to understand the dynamics of abusive relationships and experience deep healing.
