What does the ancient church in Sardis have to do with divorced Christian men in America today? A lot more than you might think. In Revelation 3, Jesus warned Sardis that they had “a reputation of being alive, but were dead.” They looked good on the outside, but inside they were complacent, careless, and spiritually asleep.

In this raw and direct Season 4 opener, Todd Turner speaks to divorced Christian men about the same danger we face today—living off reputation instead of reality. Being single after divorce feels like freedom: you can do what you want, when you want. But that freedom often turns into hidden hypocrisy, shallow faith, and a lazy drift into cultural Christianity.

Todd unpacks the landmines: dating without accountability, hiding behind politics, numbing with comfort, and confusing American values with the kingdom of God. With personal honesty and biblical depth, he calls men to wake up, repent, and strengthen what remains.

This episode is for the man who knows he’s been coasting—or who suspects he might be. It’s a wake-up call to move past surface-level Christianity, abide in Christ, and embrace authentic discipleship.

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.
