165: The Basics of Bullying: Understanding the Victim
Being a victim of bullying is hard. It can make a person feel defeated and resentful toward the bully and even themselves. Sometimes it feels inescapable. What is a victim to do when they are constantly being pestered? Pastor Adam and Steph take us back to scripture to show us what Jesus taught is the appropriate response to bullies. The goal is to repay evil with good. We are not told to allow ourselves to be a doormat or pushover, not are we told to fight back or retaliate in harmful ways, but we are told to love our enemies. *Scripture referenced in this episode: Matthew 5:38-48, Romans 12:17-21
