Episode 450 - Courageous Divorce with Alisha Roth
How do you move forward when the marriage you once hoped would last forever comes to an end? And what does it look like to rebuild your life with faith, courage, and hope after divorce?
For Alisha Roth, walking through divorce meant facing not only the loss of her marriage, but also the questions, judgment, and uncertainty that can come with rebuilding life as a Christian woman. Through her own journey of healing, she discovered the importance of honest conversations, supportive community, and spiritual practices that helped her encounter God in the midst of the pain. Now, through her book, "Courageous Divorce: A Christian Woman's Guide to Healing, Rebuilding, and Embracing an Abundant Life", Alisha offers hope and practical guidance to women navigating the difficult road of divorce and finding their way forward.
In this episode, Davey sits down with Alisha to talk about navigating biblical perspectives on divorce and marriage, how community and vulnerability play an essential role in healing, and the spiritual practices that can help us rebuild a life of purpose and abundance after divorce.
If you've ever wondered how to find healing after the end of a marriage, struggled with judgment or shame surrounding divorce, or needed the courage to believe that God still has a purpose for your story, this episode is for you.
"People who are unhealed can do things that are really damaging. You can do everything possible to try to make it work or to fix it, but we can only control our own selves. We can't heal other people or fix other people."
