Ready to stop asking where he is? Or pretending you don’t “need” him? Apply for coaching → coachkatieanne.com/call After my divorce, I was convinced I was ready for a godly relationship. I had done the work. The case for my own readiness was strong. What I did not see is that I was building a case — not asking a question. And underneath all of that real, sincere preparation was a question I had never stopped to ask: God, is this the season You are calling me into? Or is this the season I have decided it is? In this episode I walk through the story of Ruth with the cultural context most of us never learned — not to show you how to find your Boaz, but to show you what Ruth built before he ever looked up. If you are a divorced Christian woman who is tired of watching the horizon — this episode is for you.
