Divorce isn’t just the end of a marriage — it’s a grieving process for the person you thought you were. In her final week on this series, Lisa Reasons gets candid about what that grief actually looks like.
Jerry and Becky close out their multi-week series on single parenting with Lisa Reasons, sharing openly about her own path through divorce and healing. Lisa talks about finally finding a church with a real support system for divorced people, why rebuilding trust after betrayal is so much harder than it sounds, and how grief after divorce means mourning not just a marriage but an entire imagined future. Jerry shares a memorable story about a house full of college students and one young man’s tearful confession about his parents’ divorce — and the unexpected comfort he received from friends who’d been through the same thing. The conversation turns back to adoption as Lisa describes her role walking birth mothers through the process at Birth Choice, and the episode closes with an offer for listeners to request a free Bible packed with resources on family and single-parenting issues.
