Perspectives Into Practice Podcast
October 22, 2025
Divorce can shake your sense of safety, identity, and hope. In this episode of Perspectives Into Practice, Andy shares her story of heartbreak and the slow work of learning trust in God when nothing on the outside was changing. We talk about what it looks like to walk with God in the middle of suffering, and how surrender can open the door to real healing.
Andy describes crying out to Jesus in the everyday places, in the closet, in the car, in the quiet moments where you are just trying to make it through the night. We talk about the difference between pleading for our plan and choosing trusting God with His plan. We also discuss control, learning to listen, and how God meets us with peace, not shame.
If you are facing real-life challenges, or you feel scared to let go, I hope this conversation brings faith encouragement and a steady reminder that you are not alone. If you have a story you want to share on the show, please reach out. Your perspective might be exactly what someone needs today.
