Standing in the Shadows of Faith
A 6 month coaching program for women of faith walking the narrow road of fighting for marriage reconciliation while going through the divorce process so they can emerge triumphant in connection to God and themselves.
It's not over until God says it's over.
I Suppose You're Here Because...
Your spouse has asked you for a divorce and is unwilling to try to work it out, so you are fighting for the marriage alone.
And you wonder if doing so is a lost cause and waste of time.
Friends and family support you, but their patience is wearing thin from how a dead marriage is affecting you and the kids.
And you worried that you are relying too heavily on their support.
You've searched and searched, but the resources for standing are almost non-existent.
What you have found is very "life is better after divorce" and rah rah "you've got this!", but what about standing for reconciliation even after the divorce is filed?
You feel confused and let down, but still want to keep the faith and reconcile it with your new reality.
Because the option of walking away from faith and being disobedient is not better than the solution of trusting.
Can you relate?
People who love you have expressed concern and strong opinions about you choosing to fight for your marriage
You are sure that God has called you to stand but unsure of how to do it
Your faith says to fight but sometimes you want to just give up and get it over with
You know God is the solution but your spouse is hell bent on divorcing
Or is it more like this?
You feel drained from having so much responsibility (still) while being uncared for, neglected, and now insulted by your spouse
You feel like an emotional wreck, broken, bruised, lonely, and forgotten
Painful questions swirl in your mind: What did I do wrong? Why wasn’t I enough?
You wanted to be healed from this yesterday and standing is counterintuitive
Listen, I get it.
Standing for reconciliation for what appears to be a dead marriage while being pulled into a surprise divorce tornado (with its plethora of deadlines and decisions) is NOT easy.
You may feel judged and overwhelmed by the pity and frustration of those who feel you should have more of an "F#%$ You" mentality and rah rah your way to the next and “best” chapter of your life.
You can't fully explain why, but you know that God has called you to fight.
You should NOT be doing it alone.
In fact, it’s impossible to do it alone.
Not if you want to emerge with your sanity, spirit and soul intact.
Yet long haul support among family and friends is fleeting
and can bring additional emotional weight.
There is another way to get through this.
It includes a resource dedicated to supporting, enabling and uplifting you as you grow as a spiritual warrior, wife and woman while navigating the emotional, spiritual and business aspects of divorce.
Let’s write a story of moving forward while Standing in the Shadows of FaithTM.
You may have been struck down, but you are not destroyed.
What is Standing in the Shadows of FaithTM?
Being hidden, covered and protected under the promises of faith
during the quiet inner struggle of championing marriage reconciliation
in the midst of the separation and the divorce process
Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.
- Ephesians 6:13
Imagine This...
You spend 6 months strategically upholding the marital covenant while simultaneously taking control of your divorce process, creating and executing a plan to move forward

You feel clear on your decision, unashamed of your change in status and equipped with language (and boundaries) to address questions or comments about your spouse
Feeling supported without judgment, encouraged and uplifted as you grow spiritually and emotionally
Unpacking the hidden gifts this challenging season has revealed and being proud of how far God has brought you.
You walk in the world with an acute awareness of who you are that isn't driven by the opinions of others or your marriage, having reconnected with your core identity
You feel light as a feather, knowing that you're freeing yourself from the shackles of heavy emotions, viewing your spouse and pending divorce with different lenses to experience true healing regardless of the outcome
