Episode notes
How can busy pastors and church leaders care for wives who just discovered their husband’s porn use or some other form of sexual unfaithfulness?
Imagine this scenario…
A busy pastor (or a church leader) receives a phone call from a wife who is in the throes of a PTSD-ish response to her husband’s sin. She’s anxious, brokenhearted, unable to accurately form her thoughts, and breaks into sobs with no warning. Her heart has been shattered, her thoughts are a scrambled mess, and most likely she is exhausted. And she’s asking you for help, but she probably doesn’t even know what she needs.
Today’s episode from Ellen Mary Dykas outlines the obstacles pastors face when caring for sexually betrayed wives and shares five steps you can take to grow in your ability to offer the kind of pastoral care these hurting women need.
