This is the time of year where love is heavily emphasized in commercials, social media posts, and even sermons. It’s everywhere. Love is beautiful, but sometimes it is manipulated to bring harm. This is what we’re here to talk about today. We’re echoing the mantra of NAD’s enditnow by saying LOVE SHOULDN’T HURT. This episode continues the conversation we began in December about abuse within Adventism.
The guest for this bonus episode is Rene Drumm, Professor of Social Work at The University of Southern Mississippi. She led a study on the effects of intimate partner violence among Seventh-Day Adventist church attendees. The study has made her one of the top experts on this topic within the denomination in North America. One of the main findings from the study was the prevalence of emotional abuse. Rene is here to define abuse and walk us through her study.
