            • Ep 58, Spiritual Warfare After Divorce, Breaking Soul Ties to Find Freedom

              In this information-packed episode, we dive deep into the hidden spiritual realities that often remain after a divorce—specifically, the soul ties that may still be binding you to your former spouse. Even after signing the divorce papers, spiritual connections can leave doors open for demonic harassment, emotional pain, and delayed healing.

              We explore:

              ✅ What soul ties are and how they form

              ✅ How adultery, occult involvement, and emotional entanglements affect soul ties
              ✅ Why spiritual warfare is necessary even after legal divorce
              ✅ How to break ungodly soul ties and shut the door on the enemy
              ✅ A 5-step Biblical process to renounce, repent, and rebuild

              Whether you’ve experienced betrayal, emotional trauma, or just feel “stuck” after divorce, this episode is for you.

               

              🧠 Key Takeaways:
              • Soul ties are deep, spiritual bonds that can be both godly and ungodly.
              • Just because a marriage is legally over doesn’t mean the spiritual connection is broken.
              • Unrighteous soul ties can create legal ground for the enemy in your life.
              • You must pray, repent, renounce, break, and declare to truly be free.
                • 📖 Scripture References:
                • Matthew 19:5 (NKJV):
                  • “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.”
                • Mark 10:8 (NKJV):
                  • “…and the two shall become one flesh; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh.”
                • 1 Corinthians 6:16 (NKJV):
                  • “Do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For ‘the two,’ He says, ‘shall become one flesh.’”
                • Matthew 12:43-45 (NKJV):
                  • “When an unclean spirit goes out of a man… he says, ‘I will return to my house...’ and takes with him seven other spirits…”
                • Galatians 2:20 (NKJV):
                  • “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me...”
                • 1 Corinthians 3:13 (NKJV):
                  • “…each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire…”

                  • Ep_56_Why_is_God_Taking_So_Long?_Why_Delayed_Doesn_t_Mean_Denied

                    Have you ever felt like God promised you something—maybe even years ago—but life has taken a detour through disappointment, divorce, or delay? In this powerful episode, Dana dives into the story of Abram and explores how delay does not mean denial.

                    From Genesis 12 to 17, we walk with Abram on a 25-year journey from promise to fulfillment. God didn’t change His mind—He was preparing Abram to carry the promise. And just like Abram, God is preparing you.

                    This episode will encourage you to trust that your current season isn’t wasted. Even in the heartbreak, the unknown, or the waiting room of life, God is still working.

                     

                    📖 In This Episode, You’ll Discover:

                    • Why your delay might be God's process—not punishment
                    • How Abram's transformation speaks to your healing journey
                    • What to do while you're waiting on the promise
                    • Why your divorce didn’t disqualify your destiny
                    • How God may change your name—and your identity—on the way to your breakthrough

                        • Ep 55, Chewing the Gristle; Are Your Thoughts and Words Blocking Your Healing?

                          Episode Summary:

                          In this episode of Rise and Reclaim After Divorce, Dana explores the deep healing that comes when we stop speaking from our pain and start aligning our thoughts and words with God’s truth. Using Genesis 1 as a foundation, she compares God’s creative process to our emotional healing—highlighting how the Holy Spirit “hovers” over our pain and speaks light into darkness.

                          Dana also introduces the science of neuroplasticity, illustrating how our thoughts shape our brains and how healing begins with intentional shifts in mindset and speech. If you've found yourself stuck chewing on the gristle of bitterness, unforgiveness, and grief, this episode will give you spiritual and practical tools to begin rebuilding.

                          Key Scriptures:

                          • Genesis 1:1-3 – “Let there be light.”
                          • Proverbs 18:21 – Life and death are in the power of the tongue.
                          • Isaiah 58:12 – You shall be called the Repairer of the Breach.
                          • 2 Corinthians 2:10–11 – Forgive, so the enemy has no advantage.

                              • Healing is a process, not an instant miracle.
                              • Time Under Tension (TUT) in fitness mirrors spiritual transformation.
                              • The Holy Spirit hovers over our darkness, waiting for our partnership.
                              • Repeating pain-filled words can stall healing—rewire your brain with God’s Word.
                              • Your thought life directly impacts your healing journey.

                                • Call to Action:

                                Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal where you’re stuck in negative thought loops. Then, choose to speak life and let Him partner with you to rebuild what was broken.

                              • Ep 53, From Bodybuilder to Pastor, How Pastor Ken Ralston Reclaimed His Purpose, Part 2 After Divorce, Part 2

                                Pastor Ken has done it all from being a bouncer in night clubs, winning multiple body building championships to pastoring churches. He had a radical conversion and pursued God with the same excellence as his body building championships. He received his degree in Engineering but prefers to engineer for the Kingdom of God. He has a hunger for seeing people live the lives that God designed them to live. As both a pastor and a competitive bodybuilder, God uses Ken in unique ways to share His love and goodness. Devastated by his own divorce, Pastor Ken shares how he pressed through to rise and reclaim his call and destiny.

                                 

                                In part 2, we talk about how identity differs between men and women and talk about how God hates divorce because He loves His people. Pastor Ken shares how he navigated his feelings of failure and how the devil’s playground keeps us from healing. Pastor Ken also shares three things to encourage men to do while healing from a divorce.

                                Pastor Ken Ralston has done it all from being a bouncer in night clubs, winning multiple body building championships to pastoring churches. He had a radical conversion and pursued God with the same excellence as his body building championships. He received his degree in Engineering but prefers to engineer for the Kingdom of God.

                                In part 1 we talk about how he came to the Lord by himself with just his Bible after a demonic dream. God met him in a powerful way that impacted the trajectory of his life. He also shares how his divorce pivoted him in his call and how he clung to his faith to gain his footing.
