On the Brink of Divorce (Our Story) | Ep. 18
The Fully Alive Podcast
In this episode, we share a part of our story we’ve never fully told—the moment our marriage nearly ended, and the unexpected way God met us right in the middle of our brokenness. We look back on those early years when everything looked perfect from the outside, yet inside we were falling apart. And then came one ordinary Tuesday night at church that changed everything. If you’ve ever felt like things were too far gone or your story too messy to redeem, we hope this reminds you: God is never done writing yours. Have a story to share or a question for us? Email .
