Standing in the Shadows of Faith

A 6 month coaching program that stands with you for marriage reconciliation while in the midst of divorce.

Strengthen your faith, take decisive action, and uphold the marriage covenant, even in the face of uncertainty.

It's not over until God says it's over.

I Suppose You're Here Because...

  • 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 are committed to your faith, 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 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 feel 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.

Standing in the Shadows of Faith

I want to add a definition here...

in the shadow of idiom

1: very close to

2: in a position of being concealed, unnoticed or overshadowed by faith

3: hidden or reserved

Imagine This... (this is too long, will edit)

  • You spend 180 days strategically upholding the marital covenant while simultaneously taking control of your divorce process, creating and executing a plan to move forward with gusto

  • You are better, not bitter and the energy you exhibit is life giving and refreshing regardless of the outcome of standing

  • You are able to remain steady and anchored when emotionally triggered to exude peace, composure and confidence

  • Catching up over dinner with an old friend, 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 the strength and hope from your prayer life, you will harness your inner warrior and remember her innate value, her gifts and her purpose, even when heavy emotions and doubt challenge you. 

  • You will take the high road, focusing on meeting your current and future needs instead of being weighed down by temporary circumstances. You will control the controllable and free yourself from the shackles of the rest, practically and/or emotionally.

  • You will create a realistic and relevant roadmap to hope, not some nebulous "life is better on the other side" rhetoric.

  • You will walk in the world with an acute awareness of who you are that isn't driven by the biased opinions of others, having reconnected with your core identity.

  • Unpacking the hidden gifts this challenging season has revealed and being proud of how far God has brought you. 

  • 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. 

  • Feel supported, encouraged and uplifted while you grow as a spiritual warrior, wife and woman.

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
