    Spiritual Simplicity with Allen Ratta

    Send us Fan Mail Spiritual Simplicity: Returning to a Daily Walk with God—with Allen Ratta When divorce turns your world upside down, even your relationship with God can feel complicated. You may know the Bible, believe in prayer, and still feel exhausted, distracted, or unsure how to move forward. In this episode of the Men’s Divorce Recovery Podcast, Dale Brown welcomes pastor and author Allen Ratta for a conversation about rediscovering a simple, personal, daily walk with God. Allen shares how divorce left him raising four children as a single father, stepping away from his church, and wondering how he would provide for his family. Despite decades of ministry experience, he discovered that knowing about God wasn’t the same as finding strength in His presence. His journey became an invitation to return to the heart of the Christian life: loving God and learning to walk with Him each day. Together, Dale and Allen explore how the Great Commandment gives us our destination—loving God and loving people—and the Lord’s Prayer provides a daily pathway toward that life. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why spiritual busyness can leave you emotionally and spiritually depleted.How small, repeated habits can help rebuild your life after divorce.How to pray the Lord’s Prayer reflectively instead of simply reciting it.The HEART framework: Honoring, Expectation, Asking, Repenting, and Trusting.How to recognize anger, disappointment, or resistance as invitations to bring your heart honestly before God.Why slowing down and returning to God throughout the day can help you face conflict, loneliness, and uncertainty.How keeping Jesus at the center can reshape your priorities and desires.Allen also shares five spiritual simplicity precepts: You’re stronger than you know.You’re less wise than you think.You’re more loved than you can imagine.God is nearer than you feel.The Christian life is simpler than you make it.Whether you’re navigating separation, rebuilding after divorce, parenting alone, or simply feeling worn out, this conversation offers encouragement and practical ways to reconnect with God. Your marriage may have ended, but your story is still unfolding. The choices and habits you build today can help you become a man who finishes well.

    5 Things NOT to do When You Are Angry

    Send us Fan Mail Divorce can leave a man carrying anger over betrayal, rejection, financial strain, or the loss of the family life he expected. You may have real grievances that deserve attention. And what you do in your next angry moment matters. Today, we’ll explore five things to avoid: sending the heated message, making a major decision just to relieve the feeling, asking your children or other people to carry your anger, feeding thoughts of revenge, and burying your pain through denial, isolation, or numbing. For each one, we’ll talk about a practical alternative—something you can use when your thoughts are racing and you feel the pressure to act. We’ll also look at how Christian faith helps us face anger honestly. Ephesians 4:26 says, “In your anger do not sin.” That instruction recognizes the feeling while calling us to take responsibility for our behavior. We can bring our hurt to God, seek wise support, speak truthfully, and set boundaries with care. Whether your anger comes out loudly or stays hidden beneath silence and withdrawal, this episode offers a place to examine what’s happening and choose a better next step.
