The Danger of the "Cold Pillow": Waiting on God After Divorce

Feeling the loneliness of a cold pillow after a broken marriage? Michael Chriswell offers raw Christian divorce recovery advice for those healing.

In this episode of From the Ruins, we dive into the "excruciating silence" that follows the end of a toxic marriage. Michael addresses a common trap for divorced Christians: the temptation to "rush back to Egypt" by jumping into a new relationship to escape the pain of an unequally yoked spouse leaving.

Drawing from his own journey of surviving two failed marriages and spousal apostasy, Michael explains how to become a "prisoner of hope." You will learn how to:

• Hear God’s voice in the midst of heartbreak.

• Distinguish between fleshly desire and supernatural grace.

• Find true contentment in Christ while waiting for your "resurrection season."

• Navigate the "pickings are slim" reality of modern dating with biblical wisdom.

If you are struggling to let go of an ex or wondering if you will ever be comforted again, this message is a reminder that God’s "No" or "Not yet" is often His greatest protection.
