Rhonda sits down with author and podcast host, Natalie Hoffman for an fascinating conversation about being a woman of faith facing divorce. They tackle some tough questions, but you’ll leave feeling empowered and encouraged. If you find yourself feeling confused about your marriage and contemplating divorce - pull up a chair and listen in!
 
What are some common beliefs women of faith have that hold them back from making a divorce decision?
 
How can they work to reframe those beliefs in a way that enables them to maintain their faith while also empowering them to make that difficult choice to end their marriage?
 
Many women of faith believe they are giving up on the power of God if they decide to call it quits and get a divorce. How is this actually not the case at all?
 
What can women of faith do about the feelings of guilt they might experience over ending their marriage?
 
How can women of faith respond to their faith communities when they are rejected due to divorce?
