• The Gift of Redemption Part Two
    Mar 25 2026

    PART TWO OF EPISODE

    In this episode we sit down with author and theologian Dr. Chad Bird to explore what it means to walk with God through failure, loss, and the painful aftermath of divorce. Drawing from his books Night Driving, Limping with God, and Untamed Prayers, Chad shares how Scripture speaks honestly about broken lives and wounded disciples. Together we discuss how men can face face regret without despair, rediscover their identity in Christ after divorce, and learn to pray again when faith feels fractured. Using stories from the life of Jacob, the raw prayers of Psalms, and the hope of the gospel, this conversation offers a powerful reminder that God often does His deepest work in our darkest seasons. If you're a man navigating divorce, carrying shame, rebuilding fatherhood, or wondering whether God still has a future for you, this episode will remind you that redemption is not reserved for the unbroken. Sometimes the men God uses most are the ones who walk with a limp.

  • Sobriety Saved My Marriage Part Two
    Feb 25 2026

    PART TWO

    In this powerful episode of the Men’s Divorce Recovery Podcast, we sit down with a husband and father whose life was once defined by alcohol, drugs, denial, and the quiet slavery of addiction—but who found true freedom not through willpower, but through Jesus Christ. He shares what addiction really looked like behind closed doors, how it fractured trust and intimacy in his marriage, and the breaking point that brought him to surrender. Through an encounter with Christ, his identity—not just his behavior—was transformed, replacing shame with grace and self-destruction with purpose. As his wife also came to faith, their marriage was rebuilt on forgiveness, humility, and a shared commitment to Christ at the center. Together they are now raising two young children in a home marked not by chaos, but by redemption. This conversation offers raw honesty and real hope for men facing addiction, separation, or divorce—reminding us that no man is beyond restoration when surrender meets the saving power of Christ.

    Bible Verse Inspiration: 2 Corinthians 5:17 (ESV)
    “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.”

  • Abide in My Love: A Year of Healing, Faith, and Recovery
    Dec 17 2025

    In this special year-in-review episode, Dale and Chris walk back through the full journey of Men’s Divorce Recovery in 2025 — beginning with the early uncertainty and fear that often mark the start of divorce and ending with hope, healing, and generosity.

    Together, they revisit key conversations on faith under pressure, emotional pain and deep sadness, redefining what a “win” really looks like, navigating anger and lingering love, blended families, high-stress marriages, and finding peace during the holidays. Drawing from every episode released this year, Chris and Dale reflect on the lessons learned, the patterns they observed in men walking through divorce, and the spiritual truths that sustained them.

    This episode is both a recap and a reminder: healing is not linear, you are not alone, and real restoration begins by remaining rooted in the enduring love of Christ.

    Inspiration Verse: “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love.”

    — John 15:9 (ESV)
