Jeff Crippen’s sermons on Domestic Violence and Abuse – Digest
The psychology, the mindset, the attitudes, the methods, and the goals of abusive men, particularly as practiced in their marriages and families, are a crystal clear illustration of the attitudes, methods and goals of sin.
Furthermore, the way that the above man functions in his closest relationships (usually in his home) can teach us volumes about how we can expect a wicked man to practice his evil ploys in the church! And why not? After all, as we will learn, such men’s goals are the same — power and control, self-exaltation.
– Ps Jeff Crippen
Ps Crippen preached a 21-sermon series about Domestic Violence and Abuse in 2010/2011. He examined what Scripture says about the psychology and methods of sin and in particular of the enemy’s emissaries sent to enslave and abuse Christ’s people.

These sermons of Pastor Crippen’s (I have read through several of them, but not all) are now several years old, and after reading through the last 3 (in particular), I question whether or not some of his perspectives may have changed (for the better) over the last 8 years, and if so, are some, or all, of these sermons in need of revisions to better reflect his present positions and perspectives?
Hi CeeKay
What areas in Jeff’s perspective do you think have changed for the better since he preached those sermons?
I don’t have time to re-listen to all the sermons, but I do recall this. I listened to the entire series once, some time after I became an admin on this blog, which means I was listing to them some years after Jeff had preached them. I remember thinking while I was listening that his views on headship and submission had progressed somewhat from the way he said it in those sermons.
I just emailed Jeff to see if he wanted to respond to your comment. He replied:
