I can’t speak for everyone, but I would say the majority of people who have experienced divorce do not want to spend their time or money in court. Although we understand there are occasions when it is necessary. Most of the time, fear or pride, back us into a corner and we feel like court is the only way out. In this episode, I talk with the co-author of Blended and Redeemed Vanessa Martindale about litigation. She shared some alternatives to “going to court” that I didn’t know existed. Get your

One of the biggest complaints in a stepfamily is (co)parenting.

Even if your stepchild pushes you away, deep down they want to know they are part of this new family dynamic. In this episode, we jump right into chapter 6 of Blended and Redeemed and

After your divorce, have you ever said to someone else or to yourself? I will never allow this to happen to me again. I will never allow anything bad to happen to my children. I will never allow anyone close to me again. I will never forgive him/her for breaking up our family. These are inner vows we make to protect ourselves, but in doing so we are trying to control the details of our lives instead of trusting God to do what is best for us and our family.
