As we continue our year-long series on living a healthy life, I just have to say that I’ve learned so much from all the amazing authors, thinkers, and speakers we’ve had on.
Last week, we talked to Dr. Derwin Gray about how to hear our racial divide. If you haven’t listened to that one yet, I urge you to listen.
On the podcast today, I’m joined by Gretchen Baskerville. She is a Christian divorce recovery leader and researcher. Today, we dive into what the Bible says about divorce, the different types of abuse, and how sometimes a divorce from a toxic marriage can be life-saving.
I hope you will listen and lean in as we discuss some difficult topics in this episode. Also, I wish that you listen with an open heart and mind.
