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.
We know something is wrong and we need to seek safety. Yet some Christian teachings based on misapplied scriptures related to submission, forgiveness, and divorce, lead us to believe God wants us to just endure abuse. We feel trapped. Do we need to choose between God and safety?
If you feel stuck, you've come to the right place.
With nearly 20 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.
