Too often women are belittled, humiliated, insulted, and it’s called making them “submit” to men. Natalie turns that idea on its head and relays how valuable and worthwhile we are as a fellow image-bearer of the holy God. Her advice is sound, specific, and helpful. Even though I’m in seminary, I feel she has revealed things that I have not learned in Seminary about how much God loves us and cares for us and values us.

I do not know where I would be today without stumbling upon Natalie’s Flying Free program. Whenever I felt weak and wanted to go back to my abusive husband I would put on a podcast from Flying Free. I would always joke with my friends and family that Natalie “slapped some sense into me”. I believe the biggest reason women don’t leave is that they feel sorry for their husbands. Classic Stockholm syndrome. Thank you Natalie from the bottom of my heart!! P S I read both your books ..has it ev... more
