Hey friends, divorce can shake your faith to the core, right? Whether you’re struggling with guilt, a fear of being judged by your faith community, or questioning what your beliefs say about divorce, you’re not alone. 

What if the very thing you’re afraid of could actually be a source of healing and strength?

In this episode, Kelly Bennett, Esq., chats with Denny Brewer, Board Certified Family Law Specialist, about the impact of divorce on faith. They break down common struggles—like shame, isolation, and judgment—and give real-life insights on getting through divorce while staying true to your beliefs.

Key Takeaways from This Episode:

  • The “Shame Factor” in Divorce – Why people feel judged and isolated during divorce—and how to break free from that mindset.
  • Faith’s Role in Divorce – How some churches/places of worship get it wrong by ostracizing divorced members—and how others actually provide support and healing.
  • Are You Stuck in Victim Mode? – How to recognize if you’re wallowing in self-pity or using your faith to find strength and purpose.
  • The Power of Forgiveness – What true forgiveness really means (and why it’s actually for you, not your ex).
  • The Right “They” – Why surrounding yourself with the right people during and after divorce is critical to healing and rebuilding your life.
  • Faith-Based Therapy & Divorce Recovery – Why religious counseling alone may not be enough and how faith-based therapy can help you move forward.
  • Making Your Misery Your Ministry – How your greatest struggle can become your greatest source of strength in helping others.

Whether you’re the one filing or the one who never wanted the divorce, this chat will help you find strength, clarity, and a way forward.
