Break the silence—Rooted In Christ Men After Divorce Podcast gives a voice to men’s struggles, victories, and faith-driven restoration

When the Ring Comes Off, Who Are You?

Divorce doesn’t just end a marriage. It fractures identity. It silences confidence. It leaves men asking, “Who am I now?”

If you’ve ever stared at an empty side of the bed, sat in your car with your head in your hands, or walked into church feeling like a stranger in your own skin—you’re not alone.

I’ve been there.

And I know the silence that follows the storm. The questions. The shame. The ache of missing your kids. The fear that maybe you’ve failed as a man, a father, a believer.

But here’s the truth: your story isn’t over.

That’s why I created Rooted In Christ: Men After Divorce—a bi-weekly podcast and video series launching November 1, 2025. It’s a space for men like us—men who’ve walked through the fire and are ready to rise again. Not by pretending we’re okay, but by anchoring ourselves in something deeper. Something eternal.

Each episode is a real conversation. No fluff. No masks. Just honest talk about identity, healing, fatherhood, faith, failure, and the road back to wholeness.

We’ll open the Word. We’ll hear from brothers who’ve been through it. We’ll laugh, cry, and grow. Together.

Because healing isn’t a solo mission. It’s a brotherhood.

Join us.
