Dear Single Mom Who Worries // Pam Kanaly & Mel Hiett

To the single mom who worries, you are not alone. Pam Kanaly & Mel Hiett have an honest conversation about the role worry plays in their lives and the single moms they know. 

Do a quick Google search and you will see staggering statistics about how few single moms find community in the local church. Too often, single moms view church as a place that just isn’t for them and not worth the effort for a variety of reasons. Today we sat down with Kelly Wehunt, Arise Single Moms Director of Events, and a former church staff member to discuss this problem. We explore what the Bible says about single parents in the church. Our hope is that at the end of this podcast, you will see that not only do single moms need the church, but the church needs them too.

Some seasons of life seem more difficult than one human should have to bear. For Brandi Wilson that season was 2016, the year her husband – a megachurch pastor – walked away from the church and their family. As her 20-year marriage dissolved, Brandi also lost her church community, her dreams for the future, and a huge part of her identity. She and her three boys began a new journey marked by deep grief and suffering – but also hope, freedom, boldness, and peace. Today Brandi thanks God for the redemptive healing in her life and reassures other newly single women that they are not alone. Divorce is not the end of the story. This podcast will bring hope to all single moms even if divorce is not a part of your story.
