    Ivy Insights

    The Men's Divorce Recovery podcast is a valuable resource for individuals going through divorce, providing support, guidance, and insights to help navigate this challenging journey. As someone in the midst of a divorce in Missouri, I greatly appreciate the content of this podcast and find it to be a source of comfort and encouragement.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is the host's empathetic and relatable approach. He speaks from personal experience and understands the emotional turmoil that accompanies divorce. This makes his advice and suggestions feel authentic and genuine, resonating with listeners who are facing similar struggles. The episodes are informative, insightful, and provide practical strategies for coping with various aspects of divorce, such as healing, co-parenting, and rebuilding one's life.

    Another highlight of The Men's Divorce Recovery podcast is the inclusion of Bible verses throughout the episodes. These verses offer solace and inspiration to those who seek spiritual guidance during their divorces. The request to post these verses in the show notes or episode descriptions is a valid one as it would make them easily accessible for listeners to revisit or use whenever needed.

    While there are numerous positive aspects to this podcast, one potential downside is that some listeners may find it primarily geared towards men going through divorce. Although women can also benefit from many of the topics discussed, they may feel excluded or not fully represented in certain episodes that specifically address male experiences. However, this limitation does not diminish the overall value that The Men's Divorce Recovery podcast provides.

    In conclusion, The Men's Divorce Recovery podcast offers invaluable support for individuals navigating the difficult process of divorce. With its empathetic approach, helpful strategies, and inclusion of Bible verses for spiritual guidance, it serves as a comforting companion during this challenging time. By making some minor adjustments like including Bible verses in show notes or descriptions and expanding its perspective to be more inclusive to all genders, this podcast has great potential to continue positively impacting the lives of those going through divorce.

    Today Chris dives into the work we need to put into our divorce recovery program. He will also discuss the way recoverying from divorce is similar to a 12 Step Program, and what we need to do to ensure we are drawing closer to God during this difficult time.Bible Passage Inspiration: James 2: 14-24. "What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister has nothing to wear and has no food foer the day, and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, keep warm, and east well," but you do not give them the necesssities of the body, what good is it? So also faith of itself, if it does not have works, is dead. Indeed someone might say, You have faith and I have works." Demonstrate your faith to me without works, and I will demonstrate my faith to you from my works. You believe that God is one. You do well. Even the demons believe that and tremble. Do you want proof, you ignoramus, that faith without works is useless? Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered his son Isaac upon the altar? You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by the works. Thus the scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness," and he was called "the friend of God." See how a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.Resources: www.MensDivorceRecovery.org

And other boats were with him. And a great storm of wind arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that the boat was already filling. But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke him and said to him, “Teacher, do you not care if we perish?” And he awoke and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. He said to them, “Why are you afraid? Have you no faith?” And they were filled with awe, and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even wind and sea obey him?” Resources: www.MensDivorceRecovery.org
