⚠️ Disclaimer This episode discusses pornography, sexual immorality, betrayal trauma, and marital restoration. While no explicit details are shared, the themes may be emotionally triggering. Listen with care and step away if needed.   Episode Summary Pornography is one of the quietest home-wreckers in Christian marriages—not because people don’t care, but because they’re afraid to talk about it. In this episode, we sit down with Pastor Ben Brinkman of Canvas Church to unpack the spiritual, emotional, and relational impact of pornography from a pastoral perspective. We talk honestly about betrayal, repentance, biblical grounds for divorce, and the hidden damage that ongoing pornography use can cause. Whether you’re the one struggling or the spouse carrying the weight of secrecy and lies, this conversation offers clarity, hope, and a path toward healing. 👤 Guest: Pastor Ben Brinkman, Canvas Church – San Diego Pastor Ben and his wife Katie have been in ministry since 1999 and are passionate about helping people grow in faith and experience real transformation. Known for his humor, biblical clarity, and practical teaching, Pastor Ben brings a grounded, grace-filled perspective to this difficult conversation.   🗣️ What We Discuss in This Episode Why pornography is often a hidden root issue in struggling marriages Whether pornography use qualifies as a form of infidelity How betrayal trauma impacts the heart and mind of the wounded spouse Where pornography fits within Jesus’ teaching on sexual immorality in Matthew 19 The emotional and spiritual fallout of repeated lying, gaslighting, or secrecy What true repentance looks like—and when someone needs professional help How pastors and churches can better support BOTH spouses without pressure or shame Why “just reconcile” can be harmful when safety and emotional well-being are ignored What someone should know if they’re realizing, "This is my marriage..."   💛 Listener Reflection (Outro) Before you close this episode, take a breath. Whatever came up—grief, conviction, anger, clarity—those feelings matter. If you’re struggling with pornography, freedom begins with honesty, not hiding. If you’ve been betrayed, you’re allowed to seek safety, healing, and truth. You are not weak or unspiritual for needing support beyond prayer. Jesus’ teaching on sexual immorality is meant to protect hearts, not shame them. Sit with this conversation, pray through it, and reach out to safe, wise support if needed. Pastor Ben closes us with a powerful prayer for all listeners walking this road.   RESOURCES   Episode on Betrayal Trauma On YouTube: https://youtu.be/C1e1ZWziB7E   Ted Roberts, Pure Desire:   Covenant Eyes:   YouTube Version: https:  //youtu.be/M6MGb3pMz4E       🔗 Connect with Redeemed Identity After Divorce WEBSITE: www.redeemed-identity.com LINK TREE: https://redeemed-identity.com/links/ SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS: Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/redeemidentity/ TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@redeemedidentity Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/redeemedidentityafterdivorce/#   Amazon:   Healing After Divorce Paperback: https://a.co/d/8mjG6dp   Healing After Divorce ebook https://a.co/d/etcpVyR     WHERE CAN YOU FIND THE SHOW:   PODCAST:   APPLE: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/redeemed-identity-after-divorce-christian-divorce-encouragement/id1752761447   YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@RedeemedIdentityAfterDivorce

Guest Appearance Spotlight: From Run Down to Renewed This past week, I had the honor of joining Mackenzi and Denise on their podcast, From Run Down to Renewed. With their permission, I’m sharing this conversation with the Redeemed Identity After Divorce community. This episode originally aired on Wednesday, February 4, 2026, and it’s one of those conversations that feels more like an exhale than a teaching. This Episode Is for You If: You feel tired, worn down, or emotionally drained You’ve walked through loss, divorce, trauma, or a painful life transition You’re longing for healing but don’t know where to begin You desire to live abundantly—but not the world’s definition of abundance This conversation is an invitation to pause, breathe, and remember a powerful truth: God is your source—not your circumstances. We talk about how abundance isn’t about having more—it’s about living from fullness instead of emptiness. Together, we explore how healing begins when you: Shift from striving to trusting God Allow Him to fill what life has drained Root your identity in Christ—not outcomes, roles, or relationship status 👉 WATCH the full conversation on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxCdy9WggE-Q5g9-t6UVx6MTXu9i9hE6L_ Stay Connected with From Run Down to Renewed Website & Socials: 👉 www.fromrundowntorenewed.com 🎓 Upcoming Webinar – February 28 👉 https://www.fromrundowntorenewed.com/… Stay Connected with Dana Website: www.redeemed-identity.com YouTube: @redeemedidentityafterdivorce Apple Podcasts: Redeemed Identity After Divorce  

Divorce is exhausting—emotionally, spiritually, and physically. And yet, rest is often the first thing we sacrifice while trying to “hold it all together.”   In this episode, Dana sits down with life and leadership coach Misty Hughes to talk about why rest isn’t optional during or after divorce—it’s essential for healing. Misty shares her personal journey through divorce, motherhood, and rebuilding her life, along with practical wisdom for women who feel overwhelmed, depleted, or stuck in survival mode. Together, they unpack what real rest looks like (hint: it’s more than sleep), why grief requires personalized rhythms, and how trust, community, and reflection play a vital role in emotional recovery. This conversation is honest, grounding, and permission-giving—especially if you’ve been pushing yourself to “be strong” while quietly running on empty. If you’re exhausted after divorce and wondering why healing feels so hard, this episode may help you exhale and reset.   In This Episode, We Finish with Misty and discuss: Why rest is critical during and after divorce The difference between collapsing and intentional rest How grief and healing look different for everyone Creating life rhythms that support peace and stability The role of trust in emotional recovery Why community support accelerates healing Journaling and reflection as tools for processing pain Making space for joy and fun for yourself and your family How coaching can provide clarity and support during hard seasons.   Misty's Contact Information:   Misty Hughes, Transformational Speaker, Podcast Host, Gratitude Guide, Celebration Coach P: 816-297-9919 E: [email protected] lead-herministries.com mom2mommentoring.com

Healing after divorce can feel like a nonstop fight—emotionally, spiritually, and mentally. You’re doing your best to stay strong, pray harder, and keep moving forward… yet you still feel exhausted and overwhelmed. In this episode, we look at 2 Chronicles 20 and the powerful story of King Jehoshaphat—a leader who faced an impossible battle and discovered that victory doesn’t always come from fighting harder. Sometimes, it comes from trusting God in a completely different way. We talk about the importance of prayer, worship, honesty with God, and community while healing from divorce—and why isolation, silence, and self-reliance can actually slow your healing. If you’re feeling outnumbered in this season, this conversation will help reframe the battle and remind you that God meets us in the middle of the fight. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: Why healing after divorce feels like spiritual warfare What 2 Chronicles 20 teaches us about prayer and worship The danger of isolating while trying to heal Why honesty with God matters more than “perfect” prayers How worship shifts the battle—even when circumstances don’t change What it looks like to trust God when you don’t know what to do   Reflection Questions: Where do you feel most overwhelmed or outnumbered right now? Why is it hard to be completely honest with God in prayer? What does worship look like in your daily life—passive or active? Are your prayers rooted in fear, frustration, or trust?   Homework (Yes, Really): Find a prayer partner and commit to praying together Practice honest, unfiltered prayer Spend intentional time in praise and worship Pray Scripture over your situation instead of rehearsing the problem   Scripture Referenced: 2 Chronicles 20:1–30 (NIV)   Keywords: healing after divorce, Christian divorce recovery, worship and prayer, divorce healing, spiritual warfare, biblical healing, Christian encouragement, faith after divorce   We are the fragrance of Christ, Dana     FREE EBOOK:   https://dl.bookfunnel.com/4k769kpebf   Are you a divorced Christian needing encouragement?

In this episode of Rise and Reclaim After Divorce, we unpack the biblical purpose of fasting and why it can be a powerful spiritual reset after heartbreak. Drawing from Isaiah 58 and 2 Chronicles 7:14, we explore how fasting brings clarity, humility, healing, and deeper intimacy with God. You’ll learn what fasting actually is (and what it’s not), how to fast safely, and why fasting isn’t about earning God’s attention—but realigning your heart with His. Whether you’re navigating emotional exhaustion, spiritual fog, or longing for renewal, this episode offers practical guidance and hope for your healing journey. In This Episode, We Cover: What fasting really means according to Scripture Why fasting is especially powerful after divorce How fasting brings clarity, healing, and spiritual breakthrough The connection between fasting, prayer, and humility Different types of fasts and how to begin safely How fasting helps realign your heart with God’s will Scripture References: Isaiah 58 2 Chronicles 7:14 Daniel 10:2–3 Keywords (Apple SEO): fasting after divorce, Christian fasting, healing after divorce, prayer and fasting, spiritual disciplines, biblical fasting, Christian healing, divorce recovery, spiritual renewal Call to Action: If this episode encouraged you, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who needs hope and healing after divorce. 📖 Isaiah 58 (NKJV) https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+58&version=NKJV 📖 2 Chronicles 7:14 https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Chronicles+7%3A14&version=NKJV 📘 Practical Guide to Biblical Fasting – Cru https://www.cru.org/us/en/train-and-grow/spiritual-growth/fasting.html 🩺 Health Considerations for Fasting – Cleveland Clinic https://health.clevelandclinic.org/intermittent-fasting   We are the fragrance of Christ, Dana   WEBSITE: www.redeemed-identity.com LINK TREE: https://redeemed-identity.com/links/ SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS: Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/redeemidentity/ TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@redeemedidentity Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/redeemedidentityafterdivorce/#   Book Funnel: Who AM I After Divorce: https://dl.bookfunnel.com/4k769kpebf   Amazon: Healing After Divorce Paperback: https://a.co/d/8mjG6dp Healing After Divorce ebook https://a.co/d/etcpVyR WHERE CAN YOU FIND THE SHOW: PODCAST APPLE: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/redeemed-identity-after-divorce-christian-divorce-encouragement/id1752761447   YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@RedeemedIdentityAfterDivorce https://youtu.be/6tUVXQoGd5k

Pain has a way of reshaping how we see the world—especially after divorce. In this episode, we explore how living from pain instead of God’s truth can quietly delay healing, purpose, and forward movement. Using Matthew 28 and the story of the women at the tomb, we unpack how grief distorted their expectations—and how we often do the same thing when we’ve been wounded. They came prepared to bury what they believed was dead, unaware that resurrection had already happened. If you’ve been navigating life with a broken compass—led by emotions, fear, or past experiences—this episode will help reorient you back to true north: the Word of God. This is a call to stop carrying spices for what God has already promised to raise, to trust that the stone has already been rolled away, and to step into healing with faith instead of fear. In This Episode, You’ll Hear: The difference between your truth and God’s truth Why pain can distort perspective and delay purpose How the women at the tomb forgot Jesus’ promise—and how we often do the same What it means to stop praying only from pain and start praying with expectation Why emotions make a terrible compass after divorce How God is already working on obstacles you’re still worrying about The danger of carrying “grave clothes” into your future How to leave the past at the foot of the cross and press forward Key Scriptures Referenced: Matthew 28:1–8 – The women at the tomb and the rolled-away stone Hebrews 11:1 – Faith as the substance of things hoped for Isaiah 65:24 – God answering before we even call Philippians 3:13–14 – Forgetting what is behind and pressing forward Psalm 91:1 – Dwelling in the shelter of the Most High Psalm 34:18 – The Lord is near to the brokenhearted Hebrews 13:5 – God will never leave or forsake you Reflection Questions: Are you living by God’s truth—or by pain-shaped emotions? What are you still carrying spices for that God has already promised to raise? Are you focused on past hurt so much that you’re missing future purpose? What truth will you take into your next season? Call to Action: If this episode encouraged you, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who may be stuck between pain and purpose.

It’s something you receive when you trust His truth over yours.   We are the fragrance of Christ, Dana This video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/5qvBdlbTsyk WEBSITE: www.redeemed-identity.com LINK TREE: https://redeemed-identity.com/links/   SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS: Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/redeemidentity/ TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@redeemedidentity Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/redeemedidentityafterdivorce/#   Book Funnel: Who AM I After Divorce: https://dl.bookfunnel.com/4k769kpebf   Amazon: Healing After Divorce Paperback: https://a.co/d/8mjG6dp   Healing After Divorce ebook https://a.co/d/etcpVyR WHERE CAN YOU FIND THE SHOW:   PODCAST: APPLE: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/redeemed-identity-after-divorce-christian-divorce-encouragement/id1752761447   YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@RedeemedIdentityAfterDivorce

Guest: Mrs. Janis (J.D.) Denis Book: Stories From the Heart, Vol. 1   Episode Overview Have you ever been mad at God in the middle of—or after—your divorce? Have you wrestled with forgiveness and wondered why it feels so painfully hard? If so, this episode is for you. ☕ Grab your favorite beverage and settle in for a raw, honest, and deeply healing conversation. In Episode 76 of Rise & Reclaim After Divorce, Dana sits down with author, speaker, and worship leader Mrs. Janis Denis to talk about real faith for real pain. Janis doesn’t sugarcoat the journey—she shares honestly about anger toward God, feeling abandoned after divorce, and the long road toward forgiveness and freedom. About Today’s Guest Mrs. Janis Denis (often known as J.D. Denis) is the author of Stories From the Heart, Vol. 1. She is a powerful speaker, worship leader, and storyteller who uses real language to talk about real-life heartbreak—and the radical love of God that meets us right there. Dana introduces Janis by reading the back of her book because, honestly, you can’t improve on perfection. What We Cover in This Episode Conversation Highlights Radically Loved by God Janis shares when she first truly “got it”—the moment she realized just how radically loved she is by God. The Story Behind the Words (Pages 8–9) Dana reads a powerful section from the book and Janis opens up about the deep, personal story behind those words. A special focus on the closing paragraph of the chapter (page 11) and why it matters so much. “Sometimes I Get Mad at God” (Chapter 3, Page 13) Janis speaks candidly about the aftermath of her divorce—feeling abandoned, unattractive, useless, and worthless—and being angry with God. How she rose above that season What helped her rebuild her faith and identity Why Forgiveness Is So Freaking Hard (Chapter 12) Dana reads a powerful excerpt that many listeners will deeply relate to. What prompted Janis to write this devotional How forgiveness became a process—not a performance Finding real freedom after deep betrayal Key Takeaways God can handle your anger, questions, and tears Feeling broken doesn’t mean you’re faithless Forgiveness is hard—but freedom is possible Healing begins when we stop pretending and start telling the truth Where you can connect with Janis and her book: Website: https://linktr.ee/jdennis8?utm_source=linktree_profile_share Book on Amazon: https://a.co/d/hwmKXok YouTube Link: https://youtu.be/kSwQFCNAfdE   Listen & Watch 🎧 Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all major podcast platforms 📺 Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/kSwQFCNAfdE If this episode encouraged you, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who needs hope today.

The holidays can stir up all kinds of emotions after divorce — loneliness, pressure, old memories, and moments that hit way harder than expected. In this episode, Dana gets real about what this season can feel like… and how God meets us right in the middle of it. She walks you through the “rebuilding bricks” God gave her over the last few years, how those words held her steady when circumstances didn’t, and why intentionally redirecting the mind is a powerful part of healing. You’ll also hear how the valley of dry bones in Ezekiel isn’t just a dramatic Bible moment — it’s a picture of what happens when we speak God’s truth over situations that look completely lifeless. Dana also shares new research on gratitude and how it literally transforms the brain — from boosting dopamine and serotonin to calming emotional triggers and helping you shift your perspective. It’s wild how God designed us to heal from the inside out. If you remember Episode 33, this episode builds on that foundation of praying Scripture out loud and watching the atmosphere change. Dana ties it all together for this holiday season, reminding you that you don’t have to pretend things aren’t hard — but you can choose what you cling to. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why redirecting your thoughts is both simple and hard — and why it matters How gratitude rewires your brain (yes, literally) What Ezekiel’s dry bones teach us about speaking life over impossible situations How the Word of God becomes your anchor when emotions try to run the show Ways to prepare your heart for the holidays after divorce without shutting down emotionally Listen in if you need: Hope for the holiday season A reminder of God’s faithfulness Practical tools to calm your mind and emotions A nudge to speak life over the places that feel dry or heavy Encouragement to believe again — even in a tough season Resources Mentioned: Episode 33: How Praying the Word Shifts Your Atmosphere Free ebook: Who Am I After Divorce — available on Dana’s website Scriptures: Ezekiel 37:4–5, Hebrews 4:12 If this episode encourages you, share it with a friend who’s navigating a hard holiday season.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about something simple, steady, and powerful: how to build a prayer focus after divorce, one word at a time—just like laying bricks on a wall. For years, the Lord has given me one or two “focus words” each year, along with scriptures that anchor my prayers. What I didn’t realize until recently was how each word built on the last… and how God was quietly rebuilding my life brick by brick. In this episode, I’m walking you through my yearly “bricks” from 2020 to now—Hope, Endurance, Rebuilding, Transition, Focus, Shepherding, Obedience, and more—and showing you how this simple practice became a blueprint for healing after divorce. Inside this episode: Why we’re seeing so much shaking in the world—and why righteousness comes before revival How yearly “focus words” create a stable prayer foundation The scriptures God used to rebuild me over the last five years How to receive your own word for the coming year A prayer over your healing and your future In His Service, Dana Mentioned in this episode: 🎥 Redeemed Identity After Divorce on YouTube 🌐 www.redeemed-identity.com 📩 Email: [email protected] LINK TREE: https://redeemed-identity.com/links/ SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS:   Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/redeemidentity/ TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@redeemedidentity Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/redeemedidentityafterdivorce/# Book Funnel: Who AM I After Divorce: https://dl.bookfunnel.com/4k769kpebf   Amazon: Healing After Divorce Paperback: https://a.co/d/8mjG6dp Healing After Divorce ebook https://a.co/d/etcpVyR WHERE CAN YOU FIND THE SHOW:   YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@RedeemedIdentityAfterDivorce   If this episode blessed you, please leave a review—it helps other divorced believers find hope, community, and restoration.

Have you ever realized that the pain you carry might be protecting you—but also holding you back? In this episode, Dana dives into how unresolved hurt can become armor, keeping us from fully embracing God’s love and grace. Drawing from personal experiences with judgment, gossip, and navigating post-divorce relationships, Dana shares how the Lord revealed hidden wounds, guided her to Isaiah 50:4-7, and showed her how to replace painful armor with a banner of His love. Learn practical ways to: Recognize where pain has become a defense mechanism in your life. Release offense and judgment from others. Stand strong in God’s grace and truth, even when others’ words sting. Cover yourself and others with God’s love instead of armor. If you’ve been carrying pain as a shield, this episode is a gentle, powerful reminder that God’s love heals, restores, and transforms.

Keywords: healing after divorce, rejection and faith, identity in Christ, overcoming rejection, redeemed identity, Christian encouragement Rejection stings. It makes you question your worth, your calling, even your place in God’s story. But what if the feelings of rejection and abandonment aren’t who you are — because that version of you died with Christ? In this episode of Rise & Reclaim After Divorce, Dana unpacks the truth that Jesus didn’t just purchase your salvation — He purchased your identity. The cross wasn’t only about forgiveness; it was about freedom. Through powerful scripture (Galatians 2:20, 1 Corinthians 7:23, and more) and a deeply personal revelation, Dana reminds you that your name was written on that cross. Every lie of rejection and insecurity was nailed there too. It’s time to stop living from rejection and start living from redemption. You are chosen. You are enough. You are His. 🎧 Listen now to rediscover your worth and walk in the identity Jesus already paid for.   We are the Fragrance of Christ, Dana   👉WEBSITE: www.redeemed-identity.com LINK TREE: https://redeemed-identity.com/links/   SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS: Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/redeemidentity/ TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@redeemedidentity Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/redeemedidentityafterdivorce/#   BOOKS AND RESOURCES: Book Funnel: Who AM I After Divorce: https://dl.bookfunnel.com/4k769kpebf   Amazon: Healing After Divorce Paperback: https://a.co/d/8mjG6dp   Healing After Divorce ebook https://a.co/d/etcpVyR   WHERE CAN YOU FIND THE SHOW: APPLE: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/redeemed-identity-after-divorce-christian-divorce-encouragement/id1752761447   YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@RedeemedIdentityAfterDivorce

Have you ever been blindsided by rejection or loneliness long after you thought you’d healed? In this vulnerable episode of Rise and Reclaim After Divorce, Dana shares a deeply personal story about how an unexpected moment reopened old wounds — and how God used His Word to bring lasting comfort and truth. You’ll hear how Psalm 73 became a lifeline, why rejection and loneliness often resurface even years after divorce, and how to anchor your identity in Christ when human validation falls short. If you’ve struggled with loneliness, singleness, or feeling forgotten, this episode will help you remember who truly holds your heart.

Description: In this Info-packed episode, Dana explores the spiritual weapons God has given us to stand strong after divorce and reclaim what the enemy tried to steal. Based on 2 Corinthians 10:3–5, this teaching walks through the essential tools every believer needs to fight back against lies, shame, and spiritual oppression. Whether you're in a valley or on the climb out, you’re not defenseless. You are armed, anointed, and backed by heaven.   🔑 Key Takeaways: You are in a spiritual war, not just a natural one. Your weapons are not carnal—they are mighty through God to pull down strongholds. Salvation is more than a prayer; it’s transformation. Knowing your identity in Christ is a powerful defense against the enemy’s lies. The Word of God is your offensive weapon—learn to use it like a sword. The blood of Jesus offers protection, cleansing, and authority. The name of Jesus carries power over every demonic force. Praise and worship shift the atmosphere and set ambushes against the enemy. Repentance isn’t a one-time act—it’s a lifestyle of surrender. Humility and a teachable spirit keep you aligned and protected. 📖 Scripture References: 2 Corinthians 10:3–5 – Our foundational passage on spiritual warfare Ephesians 6:17 – The helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit Romans 8:37 – More than conquerors through Christ Revelation 12:11 – Overcoming by the blood and the word of our testimony Philippians 2:9–11 – Every knee bows at the name of Jesus 2 Chronicles 20:22 – Praise sets ambushes James 4:6 – God gives grace to the humble 🔗 Resources: Coming Soon!

In this information-packed episode, we dive deep into the hidden spiritual realities that often remain after a divorce—specifically, the soul ties that may still be binding you to your former spouse. Even after signing the divorce papers, spiritual connections can leave doors open for demonic harassment, emotional pain, and delayed healing. We explore: ✅ What soul ties are and how they form ✅ How adultery, occult involvement, and emotional entanglements affect soul ties ✅ Why spiritual warfare is necessary even after legal divorce ✅ How to break ungodly soul ties and shut the door on the enemy ✅ A 5-step Biblical process to renounce, repent, and rebuild Whether you’ve experienced betrayal, emotional trauma, or just feel “stuck” after divorce, this episode is for you.   🧠 Key Takeaways: Soul ties are deep, spiritual bonds that can be both godly and ungodly. Just because a marriage is legally over doesn’t mean the spiritual connection is broken. Unrighteous soul ties can create legal ground for the enemy in your life. You must pray, repent, renounce, break, and declare to truly be free. 📖 Scripture References: Matthew 19:5 (NKJV): “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” Mark 10:8 (NKJV): “…and the two shall become one flesh; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh.” 1 Corinthians 6:16 (NKJV): “Do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For ‘the two,’ He says, ‘shall become one flesh.’” Matthew 12:43-45 (NKJV): “When an unclean spirit goes out of a man… he says, ‘I will return to my house...’ and takes with him seven other spirits…” Galatians 2:20 (NKJV): “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me...” 1 Corinthians 3:13 (NKJV): “…each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire…”   📚 Featured Resource: 📖 Book Recommendation: Soul Ties: The Truth About Soul Ties and How to Break Free by Pastor Darius Good 🛒 Get it on Amazon This book is filled with biblical insights and practical strategies to help you recognize, evaluate, and break unhealthy soul ties.

Have you ever felt like God promised you something—maybe even years ago—but life has taken a detour through disappointment, divorce, or delay? In this powerful episode, Dana dives into the story of Abram and explores how delay does not mean denial. From Genesis 12 to 17, we walk with Abram on a 25-year journey from promise to fulfillment. God didn’t change His mind—He was preparing Abram to carry the promise. And just like Abram, God is preparing you. This episode will encourage you to trust that your current season isn’t wasted. Even in the heartbreak, the unknown, or the waiting room of life, God is still working.   📖 In This Episode, You’ll Discover: Why your delay might be God's process—not punishment How Abram's transformation speaks to your healing journey What to do while you're waiting on the promise Why your divorce didn’t disqualify your destiny How God may change your name—and your identity—on the way to your breakthrough 🔗 Scripture References: Genesis 12:1–4 Genesis 15:1–6 Genesis 17:1–5 🎧 Listen now on: Podbean | Apple Podcasts | Redeemed-Identity/podcast 💡 Share this episode with someone who needs to know: ➡️ Their delay is not a denial. ➡️ Their pain doesn’t cancel God’s promise. ➡️ They still have a future after divorce. 📬 Let’s Stay Connected: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/redeemidentity/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/redeemidentity Website + Blog: www.redeemed-identity.com Newsletter: https://redeemed-identity.com/contact/ 🙌 Loved the episode?

Episode Summary: In this episode of Rise and Reclaim After Divorce, Dana explores the deep healing that comes when we stop speaking from our pain and start aligning our thoughts and words with God’s truth. Using Genesis 1 as a foundation, she compares God’s creative process to our emotional healing—highlighting how the Holy Spirit “hovers” over our pain and speaks light into darkness. Dana also introduces the science of neuroplasticity, illustrating how our thoughts shape our brains and how healing begins with intentional shifts in mindset and speech. If you've found yourself stuck chewing on the gristle of bitterness, unforgiveness, and grief, this episode will give you spiritual and practical tools to begin rebuilding. Key Scriptures: Genesis 1:1-3 – “Let there be light.” Proverbs 18:21 – Life and death are in the power of the tongue. Isaiah 58:12 – You shall be called the Repairer of the Breach. 2 Corinthians 2:10–11 – Forgive, so the enemy has no advantage. Mentioned in this Episode: The Pioneer Anointing by Barbara Yoder – https://a.co/d/6U741Vl Dana’s upcoming book: Healing After Divorce – 35 Prayers Rooted in God’s Word for Divorced Christians, Coming this summer! Takeaways: Healing is a process, not an instant miracle. Time Under Tension (TUT) in fitness mirrors spiritual transformation. The Holy Spirit hovers over our darkness, waiting for our partnership. Repeating pain-filled words can stall healing—rewire your brain with God’s Word. Your thought life directly impacts your healing journey. Call to Action: Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal where you’re stuck in negative thought loops. Then, choose to speak life and let Him partner with you to rebuild what was broken.   We are the fragrance of Christ, Dana   Find me on Social Media: https://www.facebook.com/redeemidentity/   https://www.instagram.com/redeemidentity   My Free ebook, "Who Am I After Divorce?" can be downloaded here: https://dl.bookfunnel.com/4k769kpebf   Website and Blog link: https://redeemed-identity.com/blog/

Episode Summary: In biblical times, lepers were cast out, shunned, and treated as untouchable. In today’s church, do divorced Christians experience something similar? In this episode, we dive into Scripture, history, and personal experience to uncover the parallels between leprosy and the stigma of divorce in Christian communities.   Through Mark 1:40-45, we see Jesus’ compassion as He reached out and healed a leper—restoring not just his body but his place in society. If you’ve felt isolated, judged, or discarded after your divorce, this message is for you. We’ll break the stigma, uncover biblical truth, and remind you that divorce is not your identity. Key Takeaways: Biblical leprosy and modern divorce stigma share striking similarities. Jesus didn’t shy away from the leper, and He doesn’t shy away from you. The church must shift from judgment to healing, just as Jesus did. Divorce is not a life sentence of shame—it is a chapter, not your whole story. Scripture References: 📖 Mark 1:40-45 – Jesus Cleanses a Leper 📖 Luke 17:12-19 – The Ten Lepers A Final Encouragement: If you’ve ever felt discarded by the church after divorce, remember: You are not unclean. You are seen, loved, and redeemed. Your faith in a healing Savior will make you whole again. Let’s Connect: 💌 I’d love to hear your thoughts! Have you ever felt like a leper in the church?
