Barnabas Piper, pastor and author, will share about his experience as a divorced man—what it meant to rebuild identity, wrestle with Scripture and conscience around remarriage, and step into dating with wisdom and faith. He will offer a male perspective on often-unspoken losses, the tension of differing convictions among faithful Christians, and the hope of rebuilding joy and rhythms of life after deep disappointment.……….📕 Buy This Was Never the Plan: Walking with God through the Heartache of DivorceREWARDS members (free sign up) get 25% offIn This Episode[01:20] describing the life I’m living now, and how unexpected it all feels[02:43] looking back on those early years and owning my part in the harm[04:30] noticing how our paths slowly separated, even as I was changing[05:45] coming to the end of the marriage, and carrying that loss into everything[08:00] finding Christ present in the emptiness, when very little else remained[11:25] holding onto promises I couldn’t yet picture, but chose to believe[14:15] learning how to speak carefully, and when it’s better to stay quiet[21:44] discovering grief, and learning to lament instead of avoid it[29:00] facing temptation in subtle ways, and the pull toward isolation[34:00] stepping back into church life, even with hesitation and doubt[44:00] learning how to care for my daughters, and create a peaceful home[51:30] approaching dating again slowly, and learning what health looks like[57:30] letting go of shame, and remembering how God still sees meGuest Resources💻 Barnabaspiper.com🗣️Follow Barnabas✉️ Barnabas’ Substack📕Help My Unbelief by Barnabs Piper📕The Pastor’s Kid by Barnabas Piper📚Vaneetha’s Books: Her memoir: Walking Through FireHer latest devotional: Watching for the Morning🗣️Follow Vaneetha💻 More Resources Available at: Vaneetha.com
