UnYoked Living: The Divorce Recovery Podcast

UnYoked Living: The Divorce Recovery Podcast

UnYoked Podcast, hosted by Todd Turner, explores divorce and recovery for Christians. ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ Buckle up, Believers! UnYoked isn't your typical podcast about God's view on marriage or when God allows divorce. We're diving into the complexities of divorce and post-divorce life, providing a safe space to discuss the milestones and challenges we face as Christians navigating this journey. https://www.toddturner.com/donate/ ๐ŸŒŸ God's grace extends beyond the statement "I hate divorce." On UnYoked, we explore the standards, restoration, and renewal God graciously offers, even when His standards aren't met. Whether you're two months into a divorce, just out of it, or two years into singleness, find advice to help stabilize yourself, discover your single identity, and become the 2.0 version of YOU. ๐Ÿ’” Christian marriage and divorce advice often clash with the harsh realities of pain, abuse, and loneliness. UnYoked is here for those of us navigating the life-changing event of unYoking from a spouse or uprooting a family. It's a safe space to wonder, ponder, relate, and consider your steps through divorce, singleness, and the future. ๐ŸŒˆ More than a Divorce Recovery Podcast, UnYoked is a journey into self-discovery and self-help, blending faith, practical advice, and community. Remove the mask, let's get real about the ripple effects of divorce, and equip ourselves to survive being unYoked as Christians. Explore the tension between God's plan and the realities of living in a broken world.

Most of us think anger just happens to us. But Jesus says anger starts in the heart.

Weโ€™ll explore:
ย โœ… What makes you angry vs. what makes God angry
โœ… Why men pretend instead of healing
โœ… The false script of โ€œChristian manhoodโ€

We live in a culture that measures Godโ€™s blessing by comfortโ€”bigger paychecks, promotions, vacations, health, and smooth sailing. But what if thatโ€™s not how God keeps score? What if our obsession with success is blinding us to true faith?

In this episode of the UnYoked Podcast, Todd Turner pulls from the book of Habakkuk to expose how American Christianity has drifted into shallow, cultural faithโ€”and why men recovering fr...

What does the ancient church in Sardis have to do with divorced Christian men in America today? A lot more than you might think. In Revelation 3, Jesus warned Sardis that they had โ€œa reputation of being alive, but were dead.โ€ They looked good on the outside, but inside they were complacent, careless, and spiritually asleep.

In this raw and direct Season 4 opener, Todd Turner speaks to divorced Christian men about the same...
