Darla Colinet Part 3: Be a Perpetrator of Love

In this episode, we are wrapping up our interview series with Author Darla Colinet. We have heard her story, shared her books, and talked about how some churches' perceptions have shaped people's ideologies about love and abusive marriages.

Darla Colinet Part 2: I Can Still Say No and Set Boundaries

In episode two of our three-part series with Darla Colinet, she shares how her books and courses are helping others overcome the cyclic nature of abusive marriages. Even if an individual is unable to escape the marriage, she describes how she has helped the abused create a safe space in their home. Knowing that we can still say no and set boundaries is the start of creating healthier relationships, but first, the abused must reform their mind about what is and is not appropriate in the relationship. One question an individual can ask themselves is whether they would allow the abusive actions toward Jesus because what is done to them is done to Him.

Darla Colinet Part 1: Love Shouldn’t Hurt

"Just marry a Christian, and you will both have a fine marriage." If you have heard this type of phrase and followed through on the advice, you may be one of the people who has been "burned by love". However, did you know your intended's definition of love, marriage, or even Christianity before committing? Not knowing can lead to an unhealthy relationship, and in some situations, create the breeding ground for marital abuse. Author Darla Colinet retraces her journey of how she was able to overcome her brokenness, escape the cycle of abusive marriages, and finally understand Christ's love and his intent for a loving relationship.
