44. Divorce & Being a Single Mom - What is Free-Will? with Kerri Bishop
from Warrior Words | Stories of Hope | Finding Beauty After Battles & Thriving After Surviving Trauma · host Heather Gaffney - Author, Artist, and YouTuber; Storyteller, Warrior, Survivor, Thriver & Faithful Catholic
Welcome to Episode 44 of the Warrior Words podcast! Being a single mom is hard. Being the single mom of five boys is harder. I'm pretty sure we've all heard about the concept of free will, but just in case, it's the gift from God that allows us to make our own decisions. I used the word 'gift' intentionally because sometimes - usually when someone doesn't behave the way we want them to behave - we don't see it as the gift it is. Kerri experienced that several years ago when her husband made a decision, using his free will, that impacted the lives of many people. In this episode, she admits to wanting God to change her husband's mind - thus taking away his free will. I believe we have all experienced something like this. Tune in to hear what happened and what Kerri chose to do instead.
