Episode 8 - A Man’s Perspective on Life After Divorce

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.
