The African American Perspective on Divorce

Mike Easterling, co-host of the Just Being Brothers podcast, joins Seth and Pete to talk about the black perspective on divorce, as well as gray divorce. How does being black change the divorce equation? What does church have to do with it? Education? And how about the ‘it’s cheaper to stay married’ decision? It’s a wide-ranging conversation that comes with a great viewpoint. Plus, we have some listener questions!
