Episode 11 (Season 3): Abuse in Dating Relationships — Not Just Marriage

Abuse doesn’t wait for vows. It can begin in dating, engagements, or casual relationships — and it’s just as real and harmful. Survivors of dating abuse often feel dismissed, but their pain is valid.

In this episode, best-selling author and coach Gigi Bee uncovers the signs of dating abuse, why it often gets minimized, and how to recognize red flags before it’s too late. She also shares the five pillars of a godly relationship — showing the contrast between how the world builds upside down and how God calls us to build strong from the foundation up.

Sis, if this blessed you, save this episode, share it with a friend, and hit follow so you don’t miss the rest of the Shalom Season.
