The Hopefull Romantics Podcast

We sat down to talk about Intimate Partner Violence and how we as a community tend to respond to physical violence in romantic relationships. We are not experts on this topic but we are passionate about encouraging our community to seek and cultivate healthy relationships. We pray this touches someone somewhere. We know it is not enough to just talk about it; if you or someone you love is in a violent relationship please call the domestic violence hotline at 1.800.799.7233 (video phone number for those with hearing impairment 206.518.9361) Thanks for listening!
