    Honest Talk about Divorce for Christians

    Honest Talk about Divorce for Christians

    No one heads to the altar planning for a divorce someday. We think that as Christians we should be able to beat the odds. Our churches are not set up to minister to people going through this life-altering split. That's what our guest noticed when he was struggling through his divorce amidst the chaos of the COVID pandemic.
    Todd Turner created the Unyoked Podcast and workbook to help Christians facing divorce learn the milestones towards divorce recovery. You can find him at www.toddturner.com and on IG @unyokedliving.

    Understanding Self-Injury

    Understanding Self-Injury

    When life feels out of control and the pain in unbearable, some of us turn to self-injury for a sense of relief. Rather than wanting to die, many people with self-injurious behaviors simply want a reliable way to quiet the noise. Unfortunately, like other attempts at controlling our pain, self-injury can lead to serious problems, not the least of which is shame. Brittany Tinsley is a writer and self-injury support advocate here to talk with us about how we can understand and respond to self-injury.
