Sissy Goff, a counselor who specializes in helping children and teens navigate anxiety and big emotions, will bring wisdom to the unique challenges kids face in divorce. She can share age-specific tools that lower anxiety, simple rituals that make transitions between homes smoother, and language that helps kids feel secure. With compassion for depleted parents, she will offer practical ways to repair after blowups, protect kids from being caught in the middle, and build small connection habits that restore safety.

Paul David Tripp, pastor, counselor, and author, will remind listeners that when divorce shatters their world, God’s presence is more foundational than answers, His promises more steady than circumstances, and that what we are telling ourselves matters. He will talk about what it means to trust God when life feels hopeless, how suffering can deepen discipleship, and how the church can embody Christ’s presence for those walking through divorce.

In this opening episode, my sister Shalini and I will share a raw and honest account of walking through the wreckage of divorce—what it felt like up close, the losses named, and the lament that gave way to God’s presence. Together we’ll reflect on grief, unanswered prayers, and what it felt like to walk with someone and help carry that burden. This conversation will frame the heart behind the podcast: an invitation to be honest about pain, to discover hope in unexpected places, and to journey forward with the God who never leaves.

In this series, I sit down with people who understand divorce from every angle — those who have lived through it, pastors and counselors who have walked alongside it, and trusted voices like Paul Tripp, Sissy Goff, Brighton Butler, and Barnabas Piper. Together, we talk honestly about grief and loss, parenting and co-parenting, rebuilding, forgiveness, dating, remarriage, and learning to trust God again.
