Child Abuse and the Bible: Finding Healing Through Scripture - Part 1

In other words, Jesus is saying it'd be better off if you died than to cause one of these little ones to fall into sin.
Ever felt the weight of scripture used against you in a hurtful way? Randy L. Boyd knows that feeling all too well. In this episode of 'Healing Courageously', Randy opens up about his turbulent upbringing in a toxic Christian home, where Bible verses were often wielded as weapons rather than words of comfort. After spending 38 years distanced from faith, Randy's return to God in 2012 marked the beginning of a profound journey of healing and understanding.
He delves into two key scriptures that address the serious consequences of child abuse, found in the books of Matthew, Luke, Mark, Colossians, and Ephesians. These passages serve as a stark reminder of the moral responsibilities parents hold. Randy emphasizes the importance of disciplining children with love and respect, rather than fear and anger. He shares heartfelt advice on how to manage anger and foster a nurturing environment for children.
By intertwining personal anecdotes with biblical teachings, Randy offers a compelling narrative that highlights the power of love, forgiveness, and godly living. Whether you're grappling with your own past traumas or seeking to support someone who is, this episode provides valuable insights into healing through faith and scripture.
