In this podcast episode we talk about the #religiousstigmas and judgements (and also that of those who we call friends) that surround both #blendedfamilies and divorce.  People are very quick to pass #judgment about a situation and/or people they don't even know.  People's lives and choices are scrutinized, when the truth is that no one truly knows what happens behind closed doors.  We all have to answer to God for our behaviors and choices; how we reconcile our hearts is between our maker and us alone.  Don't allow imperfect people cause you shame because we all live in glass houses and we all fall short of the Glory of God (divorced or not).  Judgemental people's ignorance and criticism is the antithesis of how Jesus led and how we are called to lead.  We believe in a God that is powerful enough to forgive (even divorce) and big enough to embrace blended families.  We also believe that churches can do better serving blended families.  There's a real need for support, and there's an even bigger need to teach that God needs to be the glue that keeps blended families stuck together.  Please let us know if you belong to a church with a support group or small group that caters to blended families; we'd like to check it out!  And if all that wasn't enough, we had time to answer a listener's questions in regard to dealing with a high conflict, manipulative and two -faced  co-parent.  The advice we give here is pretty solid.  Enjoy!

Our Purpose: Why is talking about blended families and life in general important? Because we believe that we can do better than what statistics say about second marriages lasting, about blending families making it, that’s why! A 70% divorce rate statistic for remarriages with children is simply unacceptable! Spreading life lessons, passing along wisdom gained from experience and bringing to light what is often happily left in the dark to hid
