UnYoked Living: The Divorce Recovery Podcast

How can you be still with God when silence feels uncomfortable?In a world filled with phones, social media, television, news, work, relationships, and constant demands, quiet rarely happens accidentally. The moment life becomes still, many of us instinctively reach for something to fill the silence. But what might we be using all that noise to avoid?In this episode of Yoked to Christ, Todd Turner explores how Christians can develop a meaningful quiet time with God, overcome digital distractions, and become more attentive to God through prayer, Scripture, and honest reflection.Jesus regularly withdrew from crowds, expectations, and competing voices to pray. His example challenges us to ask whether our attention is being shaped by God or captured by our phones, politics, appetites, fears, and desire for approval.This episode is especially for Christians walking through divorce, betrayal, rejection, trauma, grief, loneliness, or another painful season. When life becomes quiet, difficult thoughts and emotions may rise to the surface. That does not mean silence is failing. It may reveal the pain our distractions have allowed us to avoid.Sometimes we are not looking for entertainment. We are looking for anesthesia.Noise can temporarily numb pain, but it cannot heal it. Distraction can postpone an emotion, but it cannot resolve it.IN THIS EPISODE:• Why silence can initially feel uncomfortable• How phones and digital distractions capture our attention• Why Jesus withdrew from crowds to pray• How cultural and political voices compete for our allegiance• What Psalm 46:10 means when it says, “Be still and know that I am God”• Why quiet can bring painful emotions to the surface after divorce or loss• The difference between Christian quiet and emptying your mind• Practical ways to create a quiet time with God• How prayer, Scripture, and journaling help untangle our thoughts• Why silence is not the destination—God isSCRIPTURES MENTIONED:Psalm 46:10Mark 1:35–381 John 2:16PRACTICAL WAYS TO BECOME QUIET BEFORE GOD:• Put your phone in another room• Begin your morning with Scripture before checking messages• Drive without playing music, news, or a podcast• Take a prayer walk without your phone• Eat a meal without television or another screen• Spend part of a day away from social media and the news• Read one Psalm or Proverb slowly• Keep a journal nearby and write honestly• Ask what you may be using noise to avoid• Surrender outcomes you cannot control to GodQuiet will not always feel peaceful at first. For someone carrying deep trauma or emotional pain, extended silence may initially feel unsafe or overwhelming. Begin gently and consider talking with a trusted pastor, mature Christian friend, or qualified counselor.Silence is not the destination. God is. We do not become quiet merely to experience less of the world. We become quiet so that we can be more attentive to the One who has been with us all along.ABOUT YOKED TO CHRIST:Yoked to Christ is Season 3 of the UnYoked podcast, helping divorced and single Christians live with healing, faithfulness, purpose, and a deeper relationship with Jesus.Explore more Christian divorce recovery and single Christian living resources:https://unyokedministries.com/To support the UnYoked Podcast and to help others...

In this episode, we address the common temptation to abandon fellowship after the trauma of divorce. We acknowledge the very real institutional pain and relational disappointments that often drive people away from the church, while providing an honest look at why staying away is a dangerous strategy. We discuss how pain functions as a diagnostic tool rather than a navigator, and why your spiritual growth requires the friction of "one another" fellowship that simply cannot be replicated on a digital screen. Bullet Points: The Myth of the Category of One: Why you are not as alone in your struggle as your isolation tells you. Isolation Bends Judgment: How being the only voice in your own room corrupts your ability to discern truth from your own feelings. The 'One Another' Commandments: Why you cannot fulfill the core commands of the New Testament while flying solo. Content is Not Community: The critical difference between consuming digital sermons and experiencing real-life fellowship. Finding a Healthy Expression: How to evaluate church environments so you don't repeat the same negative experiences. Reasons to Listen to Season 3: Season 3 of the UnYoked podcast is focused on moving you from the wreckage of the past to a life of active discipleship.

Unchecked, simmering anger doesn't make you look strong or guarded—it simply exposes the exact areas where you have stopped trusting in God's divine justice and instead stepped onto the bench to play judge yourself.Overview of Issues: In this session, we confront the toxic, anchoring nature of post-divorce resentment. Many men believe that anger is a shield or a sign of strength, but we discuss why it is actually a primary indicator of where we have lost faith in God's sovereignty. We explore how anger acts as a diagnostic tool for the soul, revealing the hidden idols we are actually worshiping. If you are tired of performing in public while dying in private, we break down why vulnerability with godly men is the only path to breaking the cycle and finally moving forward in true repentance.Key Points:The Dashboard of the Soul: Why your anger is pointing directly to your hidden idols like pride and control.The Secondary Emotion: How to look beneath the smoke of anger to identify the real heart-level fires like fear, insecurity, and pain.God’s Anger vs. Ours: Understanding the gap between righteous indignation and our self-centered outbursts.Confession and Vulnerability: Why the "mask" of a strong Christian man is a trap that keeps you from the brotherhood you actually need.True Repentance: Moving past outward religious compliance to fix the root of your internal emotional landscape.Why Listen to Season 3: Season 3 of the UnYoked podcast is your essential guide to navigating the hardest parts of life after divorce. We are stripping away the illusions of self-reliance and moving toward a life fully yoked to Christ. This season offers the blunt, honest, and biblically rooted guidance required to stop drifting and start living with intention, integrity, and genuine fruitfulness.To support the UnYoked Podcast and to help others...

Far too many men have successfully traded their eternal, God-given calling for the shiny distractions of material comfort, professional status, or worldly success.Overview of Issues: In this episode, we issue a direct wake-up call to men who are currently coasting on the sidelines of the Christian life. We explore how American comfort has turned many of us into "fans" of Jesus—people who enjoy the blessings but flee from the sacrifice—rather than true "players" who stay in the game when the score looks bad. We audit the common tendency to compartmentalize God, treating Him as a CEO of our Sunday life while acting as the lone captain of our Monday-through-Saturday grind, and discuss how to shift our focus from building temporary empires to fostering a lasting spiritual legacy.Key Points:The Comfort Trap: Why smooth sailing is not always a sign of God's favor and how pruning through loss brings us back to our true purpose.Habakkuk’s Challenge: Learning to rejoice in God even when the fig tree does not blossom and your circumstances feel completely out of control.Compartmentalizing God: Why every aspect of your professional and personal life must be under God’s providence, not just your church time.Fans vs. Players: A radical shift from watching Jesus from the sidelines to actually getting in the game through sacrifice and trust.The Lightness of His Yoke: Understanding how surrendering your self-reliance allows Christ to bear the weight for you.Why Listen to Season 3: Season 3 of the UnYoked podcast is dedicated to the men who are ready to stop playing games with their spiritual lives. We are moving past the initial shock of divorce and focusing on the harder, more rewarding work of character and calling. This season is your roadmap for discarding the hollow promises of worldly success and anchoring your identity in the only thing that lasts: your relationship with the King.If you’re tired of shallow Christianity and ready to stop wasting years chasing the wrong scorecard, this episode is for you.👉 Subscribe to UnYoked Living for honest, raw conversations about faith, divorce recovery, and rebuilding a life that actually lasts.To support the UnYoked Podcast and to help others...

Outward religious routines and public perceptions can make a faith appear incredibly vibrant, but true spiritual life is tested in the dark when comfort fades.Overview of Divorce Issues: In this episode, we address the temptation to hide behind a mask of performative Christianity while navigating life post-divorce. We break down how easy it is to use "church culture" as a shield to avoid the hard work of internal transformation. Whether it’s political posturing, superficial accountability, or just checking the boxes of religious life, we confront the reality that a reputation of being alive does not equate to walking in the Spirit.Key Points:The Whitewashed Mask: Why Jesus calls out the difference between outward appearance and inward reality.The Lazy River of Ideology: Replacing true discipleship with social media posturing and political fighting.Accountability vs. Socializing: Why telling people you are "doing great" is not accountability and how to find men who speak hard truths.The Call to Abide: Moving from a list of rules to an active connection with the Vine.True Repentance: Why coming back to the Father is a daily lifestyle, not a one-time event.Why Listen to Season 3: Season 3 of the UnYoked podcast is your essential guide to navigating the complexities of post-divorce life.

What happens when your theology and your biology are at odds?Natural desires for closeness do not simply vanish when a marriage ends, yet this remains one of the least discussed topics from the pulpit.Overview of divorce issues we are discussing: In this season finale, we bring raw, unfiltered honesty to the complex realities of purity, intimacy, and loneliness for single, divorced Christians. We wrestle openly with the tension between personal desires and spiritual boundaries, pointing directly toward the profound grace, restoration, and freedom found in Christ. We discuss the limitations of "purity culture," the difference between conviction and performance, and the necessity of community when navigating these deep, often silent struggles.Bullet Points:Beyond T-Shirt Theology: Why we need nuanced conversations rather than simplified religious platitudes.The Purity Culture Lens: Examining how past teachings may have skewed your view of yourself and others.Conviction vs. Performance: Understanding that sanctification is about abiding in Christ, not checking off religious tasks.The Value of Presence: Why isolation is the enemy of healing and why you need wise community support.Identity in Christ: Remembering that you are defined by being purchased at a price, not by your mistakes or sexual history.To support the UnYoked Podcast and to help others...

The fear of experiencing deep heartbreak again can slowly cause an individual to build thick walls around their heart.Overview of the divorce issues we are discussing: In this session, we explore the modern cultural emphasis on total independence, asking how it can sometimes get in the way of building authentic, shared vulnerability. We look at the "boss" mentality many women adopt for survival after divorce and how that same energy can create barriers to intimacy. We discuss how to balance personal strength with the willingness to let genuine love and connection back into your life, while keeping your core values intact.Bullet Points:The Independence Paradox: Why using independence as a shield prevents the healthy connection you desire.Rediscovering Softness: How to balance authority in your career with vulnerability in your relationships.The Danger of Hyper-Criteria: Why your dating checklists might be a way to keep yourself safely isolated.Pursuing Purpose Over a Partner: Why being fully committed to your God-given mission is the most magnetic thing you can do.Vulnerability is Courage: Taking small, brave steps to trust others and rebuild trust.Bio:Jessica Kastner is the co-host of the “Free Failing” podcast for divorced Christian women and author of Hiding from the Kids in My Prayer Closet.

Unfortunately, some of the most complex emotional wounds can happen right within faith environments.Overview of the divorce issues we are discussing: In this essential episode, we talk through the vital differences between someone using religious language and someone actually showing Christlike character. We look at practical ways to identify safe, authentic partners, spot deceptive patterns early on, and protect your personal recovery journey as you build meaningful relationships. We discuss the trap of cultural "Christianity" versus the lifestyle of following Jesus, the necessity of biblical alignment, and why humility is the primary marker of a mature believer.Bullet Points:Beyond the Label: Why you need to look for a "follower of the way" rather than someone just using a status symbol.The Litmus Test of Character: Recognizing that fruit—such as patience and humility—is the ultimate proof of faith.The Authority of the Word: Why you must be aligned on the foundational truth of Scripture to weather life's storms.Grace Over Perfection: Spotting the danger of moral superiority and looking for humility instead.Intentional Vetting: Learning why asking hard questions about prayer and conflict is an act of love for your future.To support the UnYoked Podcast and to help others...

What if getting ghosted by someone else isn't actually a commentary on your worth, but a clear indicator of overall emotional unreadiness on either side?Overview of divorce issues we are discussing: In this episode, we take a strategic look at digital communication patterns after divorce. We dive into the deeper psychological dynamics at play when connections vanish, helping you identify true alignment, spot red flags early, and accurately judge when someone is genuinely ready for a real, transparent relationship. We discuss why trauma shifts our focus from the future to immediate pain, and why finding a partner requires moving beyond the "fairy tale" myth.Bullet Points:The Ghosting Illusion: Why disappearances are rarely a reflection of your worth.Recognizing False Starts: Understanding why healing is non-linear and why you might retreat from dating during the recovery process.Rejecting the Fairy Tale: Why looking for a frictionless connection will keep you from finding a real, grounded relationship.Honesty in Communication: Why it is your responsibility to be clear if you need to step away from a potential match.Hope Beyond the Match: How to find fulfillment and purpose regardless of your relationship status.To support the UnYoked Podcast and to help others...

 This episode unpacks the hidden struggles behind seemingly "picture-perfect" relationships in the church community, diving into the subtle relational cracks that often drive couples apart. Overview of Divorce Issues: In this session, we look at the difference between true emotional readiness and just searching for a quick fix after the trauma of divorce. Many people attempt to date as a way to resolve their identity crisis, but we discuss why this often fails. Instead, we emphasize the importance of prioritizing physiological and spiritual health—allowing God's design for your body and mind to lead the recovery process before inviting anyone else into your life. Bullet Points: Mind-Body Connection: Why restoring your physical foundation is a prerequisite for emotional healing. Microscope vs. Telescope View: Learning how to shift your focus from daily pain to God’s larger purpose. Accepting God's Design: How to stop numbing your symptoms and start listening to what your body needs. The Danger of 'Escapist' Dating: Why you must cultivate personal worth before seeking external validation in a partner. Patience with the Process: Understanding that healing isn't about erasing scars, but stopping the bleeding so you can move forward. https://mycoachdawn.com/divorce-podcast/Dawn’s Bio:Dawn Wiggins became a marriage and family therapist because of her own experience as a child of divorce. About 10 years into her career, she thought: “This doesn’t work. This sucks.” At the same time, she became trained in EMDR. And that was a game changer. She saw her clients healing so much faster and more deliciously.She expanded her practice to integrate multiple modalities from EMDR to EFT tapping, journaling, and energetic remedies for the mind and body—because you can’t heal one without healing the other. As a top-ranked therapist, she garnered a waiting list and top-secret “who’s who” clientele. But it’s her mission to deliver life-changing therapy in an accessible, scalable, affordable way and make waves in the world of mental health with the same enlightenment that happens in her office: part science, part essential oils, pure magic.She helps people tear down their illusions with a candid approach that sometimes inspires frustration. Because being in reality can feel terrifying. Parts of you that you didn’t know existed reveal themselves. Past traumas you’d buried or never even knew you had come to the surface. And the thing is, once you crack it open, it’s hard to go back. The only way out is through.💡 If you’ve ever asked: “Why do I still feel stuck?” This episode will help you stop pretending and start detoxing—emotionally, spiritually, and relationally.To support the UnYoked Podcast and to help others...

“Sex as currency” might grab your attention… but that’s not really where this conversation stays.In this episode, Todd Turner sits down with Dr. Brooke Jones of Stronger Women and quickly moves beyond surface-level dating talk into something deeper—trauma, abuse, identity, and the patterns that quietly shape relationships.What starts as a conversation about sex in modern dating turns into a powerful look at how people—especially those coming out of abuse or broken homes—learn to use what they have to survive, feel loved, or regain control. This isn’t about judgment. It’s about understanding the “why” behind behavior—and what it actually takes to heal.🔍 What you’ll hear in this episode: Why “sex as currency” often starts as a survival response, not manipulation  How abuse (emotional, physical, spiritual) shapes relationship patterns  Why people stay in or return to unhealthy relationships  The “aha moment” that finally leads to change  Why healthy relationships can feel boring after chaos  How dopamine, trauma, and attention-seeking behaviors are connected  The truth about boundaries—and why people struggle to set them  Why communication is one of the most important relationship skills  The role of identity, healing, and taking ownership after divorce or traumaCall to Action:If this episode hit home, take a step forward.Learn more about Dr. Brooke Jones and her work helping women heal and rebuild at: 👉 strongerwomen.comAnd don’t forget to subscribe to the UnYoked Podcast for more real conversations about faith, relationships, and rebuilding your life the right way.To support the UnYoked Podcast and to help others...

Join Dawn Wiggins and Todd Turner on the UnYoked Podcast as they tackle the intricate and often misunderstood realms of marriage, personal growth, and divorce from a Christian perspective. In this compelling episode, they delve deep into why quick fixes and surface-level counseling may not be enough for marital issues. They explore the importance of root work in personal and spiritual contexts, discussing unconventional healing practices and the significance of both partners being fully engaged in transformative work. Timestamps highlight discussions on the effectiveness of premarital counseling, the misconceptions surrounding spiritual healing methods like constitutional homeopathy, tarot cards, and crystals, and the critical need to re-evaluate "bad theology" that could keep people in harmful relationships.https://mycoachdawn.com/divorce-podcast/Dawn’s Bio:Dawn Wiggins became a marriage and family therapist because of her own experience as a child of divorce. About 10 years into her career, she thought: “This doesn’t work. This sucks.” At the same time, she became trained in EMDR. And that was a game changer. She saw her clients healing so much faster and more deliciously.She expanded her practice to integrate multiple modalities from EMDR to EFT tapping, journaling, and energetic remedies for the mind and body—because you can’t heal one without healing the other. As a top-ranked therapist, she garnered a waiting list and top-secret “who’s who” clientele. But it’s her mission to deliver life-changing therapy in an accessible, scalable, affordable way and make waves in the world of mental health with the same enlightenment that happens in her office: part science, part essential oils, pure magic.She helps people tear down their illusions with a candid approach that sometimes inspires frustration. Because being in reality can feel terrifying. Parts of you that you didn’t know existed reveal themselves. Past traumas you’d buried or never even knew you had come to the surface. And the thing is, once you crack it open, it’s hard to go back. The only way out is through.Divorce isn’t the end of your journey.
