    Flying Free

    Flying Free is a support resource for women of faith who need hope and healing from hidden emotional abuse, spiritual abuse, and narcissistic abuse. Because of misogynistic theology taught in controlling and spiritually abusive churches, many Christian women find themselves in destructive marriages where there is an uneven power dynamic. Male partners use their status as a husband to gain power and control over a woman’s mind, emotions, body, social life, finances, and more. When she tries to get help from her equally abusive church environment, she is betrayed and re-abused. Flying Free offers a Christ-centered, gospel-oriented perspective on domestic abuse that protects and honors the voices and autonomy of women. Tune in each week to hear conversations with emotional abuse advocates and fellow survivors who will walk with you on your journey up and out. We hear you. You are not alone.

    Has God Abandoned Emotional Abuse Survivors in the Church? [111] Mar 23, 2021
    Show notes

    Our questions are based on our beliefs. “God did nothing to prevent my abuse. Should I trust him for anything?” “Since separation, I have begun to avoid the Bible, church, and spiritual stuff. Where do I go from here?” “My church kicked me aside after my divorce. How do I find a safe one?”

    When our life falls apart, our beliefs are challenged. This process is often scary, confusing, and painful. It’s called deconstruction, and Stacey Wynn specializes in guiding people through it. Join Natalie and Stacey as they examine the beliefs behind these listener questions and the surprising way forward from all of them.

    In this episode, learn about:

    • How differently our deconstruction journeys can look (which is perfectly okay)
    • A way to reframe the hard questions while still being honest with yourself and God
    • The freedom that’s found in the tension of “not-knowing” and how you can trust and embrace this process
    • How deconstruction can lead to a deeper, stronger faith

    I'll send you (free!) the first chapter of my book, Is It Me? Making Sense of Your Confusing Marriage, which has an assessment to help you figure out if your relationship is abusive or not. All you have to do is hop on my mailing list.

    Untwisting the Bible on Authority and Patriarchy [110] Mar 16, 2021
    Show notes

    In some Christian circles, the Bible is misused in order to control and neutralize half of the human race through a human construct called Patriarchy. In this interview with Rebecca Davis, we talk about what Patriarchy is, how it destroys women and families, and why it is not something the Bible promotes — but rather exposes.

    This episode is for women who:

    • Feel like the Bible has only ever been used as a weapon to harm them.
    • Wonder what Patriarchy is and how it has influenced their thinking and faith communities.
    • Can’t understand why they, often willingly and joyfully, bought into a system based on lies and abuse.
    • Wish they could strip away all the religious B.S. and discover peace, safety, and the real Jesus.

    Is it My Fault Our Marriage Is Bad? [109] Mar 09, 2021
    Show notes

    Guilt is killing you. Shame is overwhelming you. Fear is crippling you. You can hardly think straight. The horror of your daily married life is mirrored by the agony within you.

    Natalie draws from her own story—the pains and the triumphs—to answer two listener questions from women just like you. These women have taken all the blame, and struggle with knowing their true responsibility—whether their bad marriage, and all the fallout from it, are really their fault. Spoiler alert: They're not, and there's even more good news where that came from.

    Listen in to hear:

    • The benefit (and one significant risk) survivors have in tossing aside the blame for other people's behavior.
    • Your true responsibility and theirs (responsibility never sounded so good or so freeing!).
    • The choices you have to take back your life (whether from inside or outside of your marriage), heal, and fly free!

    The Great Sex Rescue [108] Mar 02, 2021
    Show notes

    What if it’s not your fault that sex is bad in your marriage?

    Based on a groundbreaking in-depth survey of 22,000 Christian women, The Great Sex Rescue unlocks the secrets to what makes some marriages red hot while others fizzle out. Generations of women have grown up with messages about sex that make them feel dirty, used, or invisible, while men have been sold such a cheapened version of sex, they don’t know what they’re missing. The Great Sex Rescue hopes to turn all of that around, developing a truly biblical view of sex where mutuality, intimacy, and passion reign.

    The Great Sex Rescue     pulls back the curtain on what is happening in Christian bedrooms and exposes the problematic teachings that wreck sex for so many couples–and the good teachings that leave others breathless. In the #metoo and #churchtoo era, not only is this book a long overdue corrective to church culture, it is poised to free thousands of couples from repressive and dissatisfying sex lives so that they can experience the kind of intimacy and wholeness God intended.

    Sheila Wray Gregoire is a popular speaker, marriage blogger, and the author of eight books, including The Good Girl’s Guide to Great Sex. She loves encouraging women in their relationships, both with God and with their husbands, children, and friends. Her passion is for marriage, and she and her husband Keith speak together at marriage outreaches and at FamilyLife Canada marriage conferences. Sheila believes in authenticity, and gives real solutions to the very real and messy problems women, and couples, can face. You can usually find her in Belleville, Ontario, where she’s constantly texting her two young adult daughters and knitting. Preferably simultaneously.

    Warning: The subject of this episode is sex and may contain content inappropriate for children.

    In this episode you’ll discover:

    • Why Sheila and her team decided to do such a massive study of over 20,000 Christian women.
    • Some of the harmful messages found in best-selling Christian marriage books that have caused the greatest damage in the lives of women.
    • What God’s original plan for sex in marriage actually was and how far the evangelical church has strayed from that plan.
    • Which Christian marriage book got a score of ZERO out of 48 in a rubric that measures healthy human sexuality. (And guess what? It’s the number one Christian marriage book on the market!)

    Interview with Judge Tim Fall on Fairness for Victims of Abuse [106] Feb 16, 2021
    Show notes

    When you're surrounded by injustice, it's easy to believe that's all the future holds for you, that's all family court holds for you. You wonder if there is any fairness for victims of abuse.


    Judge Tim Fall stands as a contrast. Inside the courtroom, his rule is based on equitable and fair hearings for all. Outside the courtroom, he is an advocate for women and marginalized people groups. His interview provides encouraging evidence of the growing visibility of domestic violence, the methods judges use to make determinations, and the hope you can have that justice is not dead.

    Tim is a California native who changed his major three times, colleges four times, and took six years to get a bachelor’s degree in a subject he’s never been called on to use professionally. Married for over 30 years with two grown kids, he says his family is constant evidence of God’s abundant blessings in his life. He and his wife live in Northern California.

    If There is a Loving and Powerful God, Why Does He Allow Abuse? Part One [105] Feb 08, 2021
    Show notes

    Why does God allow injustice and oppression? Survivors have to wrestle with this question when they lose their families, their freedoms, their children, their finances, their homes, and their churches.

    If you have ever felt a growing despair as your faith wobbles and shakes in the face of abuse, this episode will offer your heart and mind a safe place to land.

    This is Part One of a two-part series. Part Two will be presented in Episode 107.

    Show notes

    It's the deepest form of betrayal you've ever imagined or experienced. In fact, you may have denied the truth for years, because the pain of reality was too devastating. It's destroyed your view of God, men, and family. If you're wondering "How do I heal from sexual and spiritual abuse?" your first step is to start with the truth of how you've been harmed. Acknowledging the very reality you denied to protect yourself is what will begin your journey of freedom, healing, and restoration.

    -The importance and power of honesty in a survivor's recovery process
