Divorced Christian Men, Get Back in the Game

Send us a text

We live in a culture that measures God’s blessing by comfort—bigger paychecks, promotions, vacations, health, and smooth sailing. But what if that’s not how God keeps score? What if our obsession with success is blinding us to true faith?

In this episode of the UnYoked Podcast, Todd Turner pulls from the book of Habakkuk to expose how American Christianity has drifted into shallow, cultural faith—and why men recovering from divorce are at a crossroads. Too often, we’ve become fans of Jesus rather than followers. We wear the jersey, shout on Sundays, and post Bible verses in our dating profiles, but our daily lives look no different than the world’s.

Todd challenges divorced men to stop chasing comfort, money, and empty relationships and instead embrace authentic discipleship. This is about more than church attendance or checking the box. It’s about repentance, rebuilding after divorce, and learning to trust God even when the fig tree doesn’t blossom, the bank account is empty, or the job is gone.

Key themes you’ll hear in this episode:

• Why Habakkuk’s story speaks directly to divorced Christian men today
• How American Christians confuse success with blessing
• The danger of compartmentalized faith (Sunday vs Monday Christianity)
• Why so many of us are “fans of Jesus” instead of players on His team
• A call to men: repent, reset, and build your new life on the rock of Christ

If you’re tired of shallow Christianity and ready to stop wasting years chasing the wrong scorecard, this episode is for you.

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.
