This week we are releasing a podcast episode with Rebecca Saleman, the director of the hotline at Shalom Task Force, an organization that supports victims of domestic abuse.

I learned a lot in this interview and I hope we offered a dialogue that can clear up a lot of confusion for those who are unsure about their own marriages or a marriage they see--and are concerned about--from the outside.

The more awareness we can provide about what abuse really is, what is there to support victims, and what NOT to do, the more we can create communities that protect our most vulnerable.

WHAT YOU WILL DISCOVER IN THIS EPISODE:

1. What is the Shalom Task Force and who can benefit from their hotline

2. What is domestic abuse

3. How to differentiate between a healthy relationship, an unhealthy relationship, and an abusive relationship

4. Myths and truths about abuse
