Can the Men of Peace Self-Paced Course be helpful to someone who is already well into the process of repenting of abuse? Will it give him the foundation of what it means to fear God and how to treat his wife in a biblical way? Or is this only for men who are in the initial stages of repentance?

If a man who is truly wanting to change, admitting he has a problem. Say, he comes to Christ for salvation.

Does the program recommend any particular books for the men or team to read?

You said that men should be responsible for establishing their own shepherding teams. Do you see a difficulty for men to not only try to help themselves but reach out to build a team from scratch?

If the spouse has a current counselor, would it be helpful or hurtful to have that therapist act as the advocate for the abused during this process?

In VIDEO #7 Chris answers the following questions.

My wife thinks I'm abusive (and I genuinely want to understand why) but I feel like if I agree to take this course then I'm agreeing with her that I'm abusive, and I'm not convinced that's actually the case. What would you recommend?
Is this course for a man who is aware he has been abusive but his wife has already chosen to separate or divorce as a result? If chances of marriage restoration are slim to none, what's the point of him taking this course?
I have been involved with Conquer and am trying to do my own healing work. My husband knows he needs to do his work and is considering the Men of Peace Self-Paced Course. However, he also expects us to do marital work together, i.e. solve problems, spend time together, go on dates, etc. How would Chris counsel the man on this? Would his recommendation be to do our individual work first? Is it recommended that separation would be helpful?
