Does God Really Hate Divorce? with Leslie Vernick (SEEN SERIES)
Episode 133
Silence should never be the price of peace. Today we sit down with speaker, author, counselor, and relationship coach Leslie Vernick to talk about becoming God centered instead of husband centered, the kindness of consequences, and the power of wise community to reduce isolation and strengthen courage. If you’ve wondered whether what you’re living is normal, or if leaders have told you to try harder while you’re shrinking inside, this conversation offers clarity, language, and hope.
