221. Divorce Stuff Your Church Won't Help You With (So I Will)
Churches often talk about why divorce is wrong, but rarely about what to do when you're actually in one. Carrie asked her audience a simple question: What do you wish you had known before you filed?
In this episode, she shares practical, real-life experiences from people who've been through divorce—things learned the hard way that the church almost never addresses while protecting the institution of marriage instead of the people inside it.
