Supporting brothers through the storm: helping divorced Christian men



When a man goes through a divorce, it's like a bomb has exploded in his life. Everything is affected, including his identity, his dreams and plans, his relationships, his finances, and his physical, emotional, and spiritual health.

If he is a Christian, then he expects to find support and help from other men in his church. Instead, he often finds a cold shoulder. As a result, most Christian men who go through a divorce leave their church, and 30% of them walk away from their faith altogether.

This episode provides practical ways that you can provide support and encouragement to your divorced Christian brother.

Check out Chris Bolinger's article "9 Ways Men Can Support Christian Brothers through Divorce."

This episode originally appeared as Divorce and Christian Men on Throwing Mountains.
