We will continue to add resources to help church staff and people helpers assist these people harmed by abuse. The church should be the safest place for the children of God to run to! Domestic abuse is the enemy's perversion of the gift of marriage that God gave us, which was supposed to be a reflection of the relationship between Jesus and His beautiful bride, the church.
The Men of Peace Self-Paced Course is the compilation of all of Chris Moles’ past Men of Peace coaching content plus brand-new material. This course will walk men through the three-fold Men of Peace process of Information, Transformation, and Reformation, educating and guiding men who are ready to take ownership of their abusive behaviors and surrender themselves fully to the Lord in true and lasting repentance. Please be aware this course DOES NOT include a direct coaching component with Chris Moles. Instead, the Men of Peace Self-Paced Course is designed to be used within the context of an already established biblical counseling or coaching relationship, with the abusive man enlisting the discipleship and accountability support of a local counselor, pastor, or mentor. If you do not have this in place, we can help! Once purchased, each course participant will have permanent access to all course materials.

I walked through a Bible study called “The Hem of His Garment” by Sue Liljenberg, which is a study provided through Healing Hearts Ministries International. That study changed my life! It blew the doors to my heart wide-open for the Lord to come in and clean house! Through Him, I was able to forgive everything that had happened! I was freed from the root of bitterness, and anger! I was no longer walking in fear! I was able to love my soon to be husband and son with a whole heart instead of shattered pieces of one! I was able to see and believe that God had plans to give me a future and a hope, as it says in Jeremiah 29! He also opened a door for me to become a Certified Biblical Counselor for Healing Hearts Ministries International. I now have the honor to walk women through the VERY study that changed my life, that God used to heal ME from the abuse that I endured through my childhood and a 10 year marriage!
