What happens when divorce shakes your faith?

In this episode, we sit down with Hannah Ayers, who went through a divorce while pregnant, deeply confused, angry at God, and still showing up every morning as a Christian radio host, smiling on air while her heart was breaking behind the scenes.

If you’ve ever felt like you had to hold it together for everyone else while falling apart inside… this conversation is for you.

We talk honestly about grief, divorce, faith, anger, shame, and healing—and what it actually looks like to walk with God when you don’t feel very “Christian” at all. Hannah shares how God met her in practical, undeniable ways, how community and honesty changed everything, and why real healing only happens when we stop trying to avoid pain and finally face it.

This episode isn’t just about divorce.

It’s about loss, disappointment, unanswered prayers, and the moments when you wonder if God is really still good.

If you’re hurting, isolated, or tired of pretending—you’ll find hope here. Not hype. Not platitudes. Real hope.

👉 Stay to the end, because Hannah also shares practical steps for healing and offers a free coaching session for those who need support right now.
