What if leaving wasn’t the end of a story, but the start of a wiser one? We dive into the complicated truth of divorce—where escaping abuse can be life-saving, yet the aftermath can shake identity, finances, and family rhythms. With Chaplain Dr. Graham Levinston, we draw a clear line on integrity while offering grounded steps for rebuilding: faith that steadies your mind, communities that hold you up, and practical habits that restore confidence day by day.
We get specific about happiness as a practice, not a promise a partner owes you. From joining a book club to volunteering at a pantry, from Zumba to karate to candle-making and baking, we map out how skills become therapy and, sometimes, income. We also confront the affairs trap with unflinching honesty—why secrecy breeds stress, how expectations collide, and what it takes to take responsibility and exit a no-win triangle. Our conversation threads biblical teaching on adultery and covenant with a compassionate call to protect the vulnerable and give couples real tools before crises explode.
Children stand at the center of our concern. We talk about co-parenting presence at school, quiet accountability that reshapes behavior, and routines that give kids a stable horizon. Then we widen the lens: Dr. Levinston shares his ministry work in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and Rwanda, where churches nourish dignity through micro-enterprise—rabbits, chickens, and pigs—turning local resources into sustainable support for families and congregations. The message throughout is steady and practical: choose honesty, build community, practice your craft, and guard your peace. If this conversation resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs it, and leave a review so more people can find these tools and hope.
