In a previous episode, I spoke honestly about how the church can fail people after divorce. And I stand by much of that.

But I also need to correct something.

Pain is a good diagnostic tool, but it’s a terrible navigator.

In this episode, I share a personal story about how God challenged my assumptions, removed my excuses, and led me back into a healthy church community. This isn’t a walk-back. It’s a course correction.

If you’ve been hurt by the church… if you’ve stepped away… or if you’ve convinced yourself that “me and God” is enough, this conversation is for you.

We’ll talk about:

Why isolation feels right but leads you wrong
What the Bible actually says about community
How divorce can distort your view of church
Why there is no “Plan B” for Christian community
How to find a healthy church (without rushing your healing)

You don’t need a perfect church.
But you do need a church.

UnYoked - The Post Divorce Podcast: Navigating your divorce and recovery with grace.

Divorce and the new single life is hard but it is even more complex when you made a promise to God to "keep your marriage till death do you part." American Christian culture doesn't make navigating the decisions and ripple effects of divorce any easier. Christian marriage and divorce advice runs rampant yet often conflicts with the realities of pain, abuse, loneliness, and the real world.

God has a lot more to say than, “I hate divorce.” God gives a standard and then graciously restores and renews people even when His standard isn't met.

Those of us who are navigating the life changing event of unYoking from a spouse and/or uprooting a family have to journey through some dark, lonely, and confusing places. Our issues aren't frequently tackled from the pulpit and the advice we receive isn't always relevant to our current place.

The UnYoked podcast is just for you. A safe place to wonder, ponder, relate, and consider your steps of navigating a divorce, singleness, and the future. A place where we live in the tension between God's plan and the realities of living in a broken world with broken people and broken relationships. Buckle up... remove the mask.. and let's get real about discussing the ripple effects of divorce and equip ourselves to survive being unYoked as a Christian.
