Yoked E11 - Abuse Is Not God's Plan For You

In this podcast episode, Yemi and Philia discuss Dr. David Clarke's 4 step plan for escaping abuse. Dr. Clarke teaches us that we should not tolerate abuse in a marriage; instead we must take action to stop the abuse in a biblical way (Matthew 18:15-20). To escape, you need God and the help of others. Abuse is a product of wickedness that God rejects. Using Abigail as the blueprint, seek God and take the steps necessary to protect yourself and your family from the abuse. God is the great redeemer and deliverer. He delivered Abigail's people from destruction set in motion by her cruel husband, Nabal and God redeemed Abigail by providing her a new and better life free from Nabal. There is nothing too hard for the God we serve, go to him and seek help. No one deserves to be abused.

Full of love and light, Philia is dedicated to loving all in need. Philia's giving heart ensures that her home is always full of those seeking shelter, warmth, healing and love, which she freely gives. Philia feels joy in diving deeper in her relationship with God and sharing her God given gifts, talents, and abilities with others. Her goal is to be a walking, living, breathing testimony of God's transformative power of love. The love of God shines brightly through Philia and anyone in her vicinity is drawn to that light.

Yemi - A native Brooklynite, Nigerian-American, Lawyer, Friend and Day One Christian. Yemi is a woman of passion and love for God. She takes time to understand life through the lens of her faith while finding most situations authored by God's comedy. Her desire to grow in faith came during her 2017-2018 episode of depression. She surrendered to God and felt peace in trusting in the Lord. God led her to start a live bible study and prayer call which flourished for two years with the help of her co-host Philia. Yemi desires to share her faith journey and struggles with everyone near and far. She relishes in the transformation and testimonies of others and her heart is most full when she is spreading love.
