    Testimony of a Restored Marriage – Donny & Angela

    During Angela's season of waiting, God transformed her heart, deepened her faith, and drew her closer to Him than ever before. But when the divorce papers arrived, the weight of discouragement settled in, and Angela began to wonder if she had waited in vain.   Then, during her morning devotions, she prayed a bold and specific prayer.   God answered it—immediately.   While Angela was being strengthened in the waiting, the Lord was working on Donny's heart in a way she could never orchestrate. One song on the radio became the moment God used to break through and begin restoring what seemed lost.   This episode is a beautiful reminder that God is never idle, even when we can't see Him moving. If you're standing for your marriage and questioning whether your prayers matter, Donny and Angela's story will encourage you to keep trusting the Lord.   Outdated Book   Prayers for Victory   Create Personalized Scripture   Follow on Instagram - @rejoicemarriageministries   Follow on Facebook - @rejoicemarriageministries   Every day, you can receive encouragement straight to your inbox through our Fight for Your Marriage Devotional and find free resources and prayers to pray over your marriage.

    JAN 14

    When I Asked for a Divorce: A Wife's Story of Redemption

    In this powerful episode of the Fight for Your Marriage Podcast, we sit down with Laura to hear her side of a marriage restoration story that has already touched many lives.   You may remember David, who previously shared his journey of standing for his marriage, surrendering his life to the Lord, and allowing God to radically transform his heart. In this episode, his wife, Laura, courageously opens up about what she was experiencing during that season—the pain, confusion, and circumstances that led her to ask David for a divorce.   Laura shares her struggles, the walls she had built, and how God began to work in her heart when she least expected it. Through her testimony, we see how the Lord pursued both spouses individually, bringing healing, conviction, and restoration in His perfect timing.   Today, their marriage has been restored, and Laura's story offers incredible hope for anyone wondering if God is still working behind the scenes—even when restoration feels impossible. This episode is a reminder that God sees both sides of the story, hears every prayer, and is faithful to redeem what feels broken beyond repair.   If you are standing for your marriage or praying for a prodigal to come home, this testimony will encourage you to keep trusting God's plan.   Forgiving Forward bundle   Prodigals Do Come Home   Ep 213 – Men Who Refused to Walk Away from Their Wives – Part 1   Ep 214 – Men Who Refused to Walk Away from Their Wives – Part 2
