Helping Women Heal From Being Married to Religious "Men" — The Testimony of Sharmen Kimbrough I EP 39

from Briefcase and The Barn · host Kyle Van Ruitenburg | Furiously Curious Company

In this raw and redemptive conversation, I sit down with Sharmen Kimbrough — counselor at the Marriage Recovery Center and founder of Live Found — to talk about how women can heal after being married to a religious "man”.Sharmen shares her story of growing up under a controlling, legalistic father, marrying into the same pattern, and eventually finding freedom in Christ. Our conversation also digs into:- How legalism and “obedience culture” breed spiritual abuse- Why emotionally immature men hide behind Scripture and authority- What happens to a woman’s identity after years of control- How genuine faith, surrender, and inner work lead to healing- What biblical leadership and submission actually look likeIf you’ve ever felt trapped in a “Christian” marriage that crushed your spirit — this episode is for you.Enjoy-Kyle---Sharmen Kimbrough Details:Website: Https://www.livefound.orgFacebook: / livefoundinc Instagram: / livefoundinc TikTok: / livefound.org YouTube: / @livefound MRC Website: https://Marriagerecoverycenter.comMRC YouTube Playlist: Sharmen Kimbrough ---🤝 *If you're enjoying this content and would like to support the show, click the link below* 👇 www.furiouslycurious.co/donate---📞 *Interested in Kyle's Coaching, Recruiting, or Employment Opportunities?*Text Kyle: 1-604-703-9045Email: [email protected]: https://www.furiouslycurious.co---*🎙 About The Show*Kyle Van Ruitenburg gets Furiously Curious with honest, raw, and sometimes laugh-out-loud chats about the stories, beliefs, and worldviews that shape how people see the world.From Business and Faith to Life and everything in between, no topic is off the table.---*Social Media:*https://www.facebook.com/FuriouslyCuriousShowhttps://www.instagram.com/furiouslycuriousco/ ---Do you know someone who would be a good guest for the podcast?
