Divorced Christian Woman

Church Relationships After Divorce: Reclaiming Your Spiritual Community


Listen Later

Ever wondered what happens to your church relationships when your marriage falls apart and you do the unthinkable (aka, choose not to be miserable for the rest of your life)? In this episode, I sat down with Diana, Stacey, and Marie, to talk about the real fallout that happens not just in marriage, but in the holy halls of church after divorce.

What We Talked About:

  • How divorce changes everything about how you experience church
  • What happens when you realize your church was more in love with patriarchy than Jesus
  • Spiritual deconstruction (a.k.a. following Jesus out of the building)
  • Learning to hear God’s voice (Head’s up: it’s not your ex, your pastor, or the elder’s wife)
  • Releasing or renewing relationships after betrayal
  • Forgiveness: what it is, what it isn’t
  • How to support your kids spiritually without traumatizing them 
  • Rebuilding community outside of the institution (Zoom counts, y’all)

Feel like a hot mess after divorce? This FREE 5-Day Workshop will teach you a mind-shift tool to help you learn a powerful way to manage your thoughts and emotions in order to navigate adult decisions with clarity and peace.
