Last week, on the way to a massage, a random country song triggered a revelation that hit me like a ton of bricks:
“Thank You, God, that every man who broke my heart… did.
Because it meant I got to become his wife.”
In this vulnerable, long-form episode, I’m sharing:
- how God used years of heartbreak, disappointment, and even a toxic, abusive first marriage to protect what I’m living in now
- why my second marriage already feels radically different (14 days in)
- the painful cost of divorce in Christian culture and how the Church often mishandles it
- how God’s “no” and redirection didn’t make sense then, but reveals His goodness now
- why pain can be both real and still part of God’s protection and provision
- how emotional immaturity and unhealed history make it hard to trust God’s timing
We’ll also zoom out beyond romantic heartbreak to talk about any disappointment that feels like “God let me down” — and I’ll challenge you to ask:
What if the thing you’re angry at God about today is the thing you’ll thank Him for five years from now?
If you want help understanding your emotions and what’s actually happening inside of you — the real roots, patterns, and reasons you react the way you do — that’s exactly why I created Navigating Emotions The Jesus Way.
It’s not coping. It’s not positive thinking.
It’s a biblical, practical framework for walking through your emotions with God instead of being confused or ruled by them.
