Meet Brandie. She thought she met a faithful, trustworthy faith-based man. Over time, after caring deeply for him, she began to experience physical abuse disguised as a Biblical reprimanding. When she turned to the church for support from the abuse, she wasn’t believed because her abuser was well-known as a faithful Christian man and very respected.

You can find Brandie on Twitter at  or on her blog, www.SpeakOut4others.wordpress.com Brandie is a Survivor of Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault, and an Elite Narcissist. She is currently working on a memoir about her experience, hoping to encourage church leaders to take domestic abuse seriously.
