THIS MONTH’S PRAYER GUIDE: Praying God’s Word for Your Blended Family.
How does divorce, or the loss of a parent figure impact our kids?
There is no doubt that it does. Often, mistakenly, parents leave their children to navigate their feelings alone. Depending on their age, children may not have the ability to absorb or understand everything that’s changing in their world…they just know things are not the same. The safe space they once felt is different now.
On today’s episode, Connie Albers joins us to talk about her experience of going through a divorce as a young child, and some of the feelings and emotions she felt as she watched her parents make decisions that concerned her without explaining them to her, and the impact it had on her childhood. She offers suggestions for making this time of transition as easy as possible on young children so that they have the healthiest experience possible.
Don’t miss this episode. Even if you aren’t a blended family, you know one. Take the time to understand them better when you tune in now!
Today’s show is brought to you by our newest prayer guide, Praying God’s Word for Your Blended Family.

I have really enjoyed your podcasts and agree – lack of joy is a symptom of taking our eyes off Jesus. I have to remind myself of this often. I also heard you mention social media in a few of your podcasts. I believe that social media can really distract any one of us from all of the above. A good first step should be – get off of social media – ESPECIALLY if someone is not finding joy. I believe that SM is the cause of many joyless hearts – of course, the root comes back to taking our eyes off Jesus, then on to someone’s created illusion of life or spit second image of perfection without the reality of the seconds, minutes, and hours before and after. Our poor children have no idea how sucked into these deceptions they are, but how can we help them understand if we are sucked in too? You may have already addressed this – I haven’t listened to them all, but plan to. 🙂 Thanks again.
This is a great addition to the conversation! Thank you so much. I really think you’re right, and I feel it in my own life as I interact with social media. So true!
