Finding Hope and Healing after Marriage Ends, with Brandi Wilson
While no one goes into a marriage imagining it will ever end, we know that divorce is a reality for approximately half of Americans. And while I will always be pro-marriage and encourage those of you in difficult marriages to seek help and fight to save your marriage, I know that sometimes there are no other options than divorce.
Today’s guest, Brandi Wilson, knows the pain of divorce. In today’s episode she shares her story of being married to a megachurch pastor, who in 2016 walked away from the church and his family. So, when Brandi’s 20-year marriage dissolved, she also lost her church community, her dreams for the future, and a huge part of her identity.
Yet, over 8 years later, Brandi has a message of HOPE and healing that I think will bless many listeners. If you or someone you love is navigating divorce, (especially while raising children) I hope you can tune in. Find notes and links to everything Brandi talks about in show notes:
