Rise, Reclaim and Step Out After Divorce | Christian, Divorce, Encouragement

By: Dana L Williams Author Podcast Host Founder of Redeemed-Identity Ministries
  • Summary

  • Are you tired of feeling like you can’t be used by God because you are divorced? Have you set aside your ministry dreams because of your divorce? Have you ever felt judged by the body of Christ because you are divorced? Hi, I’m Dana. Like you or someone you care about, I am a divorced Christian. As a former ministry leader and pastor’s wife, I faced misguided judgment, criticism, and misinformed opinions (often based on faulty theology) within the church. After enduring years of judgment and shame, I chose to spiritually fall asleep. Nearly a decade later, I woke up to the realization that my identity hadn’t changed because of divorce. God’s call on my life remained unchanged. I discovered that the same is true for you. Whether in ministry or the marketplace, your divine calling persists despite divorce. In this podcast you will find encouragement to walk free from judgements from yourself or others, and reclaim your identity. My mission (and I’ve chosen to accept it) is to equip Christian divorced and divorced leadership in the church to rise up, reclaim, and step out into the ministry God place on their heart. If you are ready to say yes to redeeming your life and call - you are in the right place. Join me on a journey to re-remember who and whose you are and reclaim what He has called you to do. I want to hear your story! Dana@redeemed-Identity.com

  • Ep 37, Why our Self Talk Is Keeping Us From Healing From Divorce with Toni Thrash, part 2
    Jan 14 2025

    Welcome back to Rise and Reclaim After Divorce! In today’s episode, I’m joined by my dear friend and life coach, Toni Thrash, as we dive into part 2 on a topic that affects every part of our healing journey: self-talk.

    Whether it’s the inner dialogue in our minds or the words we speak over ourselves, our self-talk has the power to either build us up or keep us stuck in cycles of pain. In this conversation, Toni and I unpack:

    • How self-talk can sabotage our healing: Understanding the impact of negative narratives we replay in our minds.
    • The connection between self-talk and our faith: Using the Word of God to transform our thinking and align our thoughts with His truth.
    • Practical tips and resources: Tools and strategies that have helped us rewrite our self-talk, reclaim our joy, and move forward in healing.

    We’ll share personal stories, scripture, and actionable advice to help you take back your life and break free from the grip of negative self-talk.

    Key Takeaways:

    1. Recognize toxic self-talk: Learn to identify the lies you’ve been believing about yourself.
    2. Speak life over yourself: Replace negative words with affirmations rooted in God’s promises.
    3. Transform your mind with scripture: Dive into verses that encourage renewal and healing.

    Resources Mentioned:

    • Key Bible verses for renewing your mind: Romans 12:2, Philippians 4:8, and Psalm 139:14.
    • Toni Thrash’s favorite tools for reframing self-talk.
    • Journaling prompts to help shift your inner dialogue.

    This episode will leave you encouraged, equipped, and ready to reclaim your healing journey with God at the center.
