Domestic Abuse Resources
IBCD Observation Case Series
9-Video Training + Resource Handbook
Learn how to confront the evil of domestic abuse with Pastor and Biblical Counselor Chris Moles, author of the book “The Heart of Domestic Abuse.” Pastor and author, Jeremy Pierre, portrays “Travis,” the counselee. Pierre creates a challenging portrait of an abuser, one who you might never suspect. This approach helps illustrate the difficulty for those who encounter abuse for the first time.
Advocate Joy Forrest joins Craig and Darci Marshall to round out the case, demonstrating the team-based approach that is imperative for handling the difficulties of abuse dynamics. Post-session debriefs and roundtable discussions also walk viewers through the development of the case. Our prayer is that this practical ministry training will help you grow in your approach to domestic abuse, and respond with the heart of Christ toward those who are hurting.

1. Instructions for Setting Up Your Group Plan
- Go to Pathwright and find the plan of your choice. You’ll need to enter the number of seats you’d like to purchase with your plan, as shown below. These steps will be the same for a Supporting Church Plan.
- Once you’ve entered the number of members that will be on your plan (including all moderators, admins, students, etc.), you will be asked to fill out a name for your cohort, as shown above. Examples of names include “Grace Bible Sunday School,” “Young Adults Small Group”, or “Clearbrook Church Group.”
- Click “subscribe” and proceed through the checkout steps.
- By creating this cohort, you will be the “teacher” with special tools to customize your course. You can always assign someone else in your plan to the role of “teacher” later on.
- Now you’ll need to check that courses have been added to your plan. Watch this tutorial here to learn how to access your course Collection.
- While in your Collection, you’ll need to check 2 things:
- Check that you’ve added your Collection to your plan. If you haven’t yet, please click “Start Collection” at the top of your Collection page.
- If you’ll be learning with a group, check that you’ve created a cohort (class). If you haven’t created a cohort yet, scroll down onthat page and select “Create Cohort,” as shown here.
- Once you’re in Pathwright and create a cohort, you will then be able to invite your members to your plan. To learn how, follow steps 2 & 3 below.

2. Instructions for Inviting Members to Your Group Plan
- Once you’re in Pathwright and create your cohort, you will then be able to invite your members to your plan. If you haven’t followed the steps for subscribing or creating a cohort yet, please view step #1 in the dropdown above before proceeding.
- First, navigate to your Dashboard. You can find this over in the menu at the top left of the page.
- Once in your Dashboard, you should see a big profile circle at the top with your name underneath. Look slightly to the right to find a button called “People” or “Manage.”
- Click on that button then begin adding your members via email. This will send them an email invitation to join your plan. WAIT for your members to accept this first invitation, then proceed to the 3rd step of inviting them to your specific class in the plan.

3. Instructions for Inviting Members to Your Class
- Once your members have accepted the first invitation to your group plan, you can now send them the invitation to your class. To see if they’ve accepted their invites, go back to your Manage People panel and check the status of their invite.
- If they’ve accepted their invites, go in to your subscription Collection. You can watch this tutorial here to learn how to view your Collection.
- Once in your Collection, you’ll need to check 2 things:
- Check that you’ve added your Collection to your plan. If you haven’t yet, please click “Start Collection” at the top of your Collection page.
- If you’ll be learning with a group, check that you’ve created a cohort (class). If you haven’t created a cohort yet, scroll down on that page and select “Create Cohort,” as shown above.
- Once you’ve followed those steps, click on the word “Path” in the center (circled in Figure 1 above).
- Next, go to the “Share” tab located at the top of that page.
- Click on “Share” then “Add” and begin adding members to your class the same way you added them to the plan. If they’re in your plan already, you can just add them by name like this.
- If they are not in the plan, you’ll need to follow up with your members and remind them to accept the 1st invite to the plan. Then, you can follow the steps again to invite them to the class.
