I was blessed enough to find Chris and Steph on Instagram sometime last year. Such a blessing! My husband and I were separated for 6 years (2013-2019) and have been working on restoration and reconciliation since. Please keep us and our children lifted in prayer.

About to get divorced in a few months. To all Believers who see this, PLEASE pray for my wife and me. I've done all I know/can and don't know what else to do. I've tried loving the best I can, even if not reciprocated/received. Praying for a miracle. Please pray for us.

[MsTeeBird]

For me, it felt like death. I was depressed and cried for three years. The wasband left. Started dating other women. He never returned. Filed for divorce and hasn’t returned. I accepted it. I still believe I’m worthy to be loved and will get married again one day

After being married then divorced 13 year later, now coming out of a 5 year relationship that failed I have all but lost hope in ever finding the right Christian woman. Your testimony today helps restore some hope deep inside me. There is a reason the lord led me to these podcasts I just have to learn to listen to him.

[christinamendoza]

Awesome testimony. I'm recently separated almost a month now. I really miss my husband I love him, but I was never enough for him. I got a apartment. Please pray for us. I don't know what the future holds, but I am just trusting whatever God has for me is the best. His name is Madaleno and Christina Mendoza

Just came across this video. Such encouragement. Thank you for sharing! Was divorced in April, ‘22. We both still loved each other (blended family, a lot that occurred). I still have faith that God can rescue and save my former husband and the marriage. Keep planting the seeds of hope! 💜🙏

I’m now facing divorce. I hurt my wife, she turned around and looked elsewhere for comfort. Then at the beginning of the pandemic everything surfaced and we separated. We are coming up on two years.

She stopped seeing the person she was distracting herself with almost immediately and I trust in her transparency. We haven’t moved on, but we’ve been in a season of not moving forward and not doing anything but she is slowly canceling accounts, changing passwords and moving on focusing entirely on work. She’s afraid of divorce and finale decisions and seems to be taking care of small things as a way to control things. But it is not making things better.

She’s asked for the third time to sell the house that I’m living in and wants to file for divorce for a clean break for her to heal. I say the third time buts it’s been many more, it’s just the third time actions have been taken and then decided against.

We are believers, but she is angry with God for “allowing” hurt to happen and I believe it’s not over but am just left waiting with the Holy Spirit for her to come to Christ.

I don’t know what to do other than focus of Jesus, wait and trust I’ll be comforted, provided for and that God will be glorified in this.

I miss my best friend with all my heart, wish I wouldn’t have done what I did, but trust that beauty will be made in this pain. I just pray for her forgiveness and for her heart to know the Agape love of God.

Prayers appreciated.

Abandonment is the worst nightmare any married person could possibly feel. After 14yrs of marriage, I discovered my wife’s affairs. She left home last July and never came back. She ignored me for a good while and began treating me like a stranger. I almost ended my life due to the feeling of being left alone, but glory to God and His Son Jesus Christ, I’m still standing. My wife refuses to sign the divorce papers and no intentions on reconciling. This podcast was very helpful in helping me become a better person.

[godsson]

[elises]

My husband left me for another woman 3 years ago, with a heart that turned to cold towards me and in have held onto the fact that I knew God had put us together. Just recently I can see a softness coming back into my husband (ex husband by the world's trusting God with the had to do so much in me to grow me into a healthier person and to take my husband down as my idol.

[everett]

Love the cap.. Around 30 plus is when those caps really pop.. "I'm kidding you should see my bald head lol"

[valerythorgerson]

My husband and I were both divorced. Neither one of us thought we could love again. God brought us together 2 1/2 years ago. We were married in 2020, peak of Covid season. God took 2 broken lives and made them as one. The song Danny Gokey wrote, "Tell Your Heart to Beat Again" sums up our story. So thankful for a new beginning! We hope to encourage others with out story.

[michaelmcdonough]

Amazing you guys are such an encouragement

[hijadeDios]

I got to tell you guys I absolutely love your story it's a big inspiration and the song at the end with both of you I listen to quite frequently God bless

Hello. I'm curious about something that Chris Teague mentioned. He concluded that isolationism or not being engaged in a community, then you can go in the wrong direction. (I think)

I'm curious as to how and accurate that statement really is? It's because I've never been genuinely associated with a church community. While I have hanged out with a church group, the relationship was more of an acquaintance level. And more of what we did was hang out. I'm almost 25 years old and I still live with my mom while severely lacking direction for my own life.

[bereanist]

I can relate, my spouse has let the enemy in and break our family apart. Been married over 30 years! Going through a very difficult divorce now. I am keeping my eyes on Jesus❣️.
Don’t need a man to make me happy, I will not be able to trust another man again.

[cheryl]

This is great for this couple. But it doesn't bring me hope, ex is married to someone else now. But very happy for this couple getting back together. It's forgive and move on. I'm happy where I am.

[joeostrosky]

they were just at my church this past weekend....great music. However, I wish his testimony about his journey back to her was a little less spiritual and more core. Those non Christians watching this will most likely be turned off by his Christian "ease" way of talking. Glad it worked out, but the fact is, he went through hell, put her through hell and a little more authenticity in his telling it would go a long way with non believers.

[honesty]

I am considering separating from my husband (non believer). I found Christ again after a few years of marriage and it’s definitely put a strain on the marriage. It’s difficult to not be able to talk to your spouse about Christ or anything faith based. It’s a lonely place. We’ve been married almost 10 years.
