Solo Parent Podcast
This week we’re discussing the idea that You’re Worth a Life Reimagined
Divorce can make it feel like your story is over…like joy, purpose, and belonging are things of the past. The shame and stigma can convince you that you’re somehow disqualified from hope. But what if your worth didn’t end with that loss? What if you’re still fully capable of building something new, beautiful, and whole?
Today, we cover three main points:
- How to reimagine a life you still deserve
- How to create belonging for your kids in a new season
- How the church can better support solo parents and those healing from divorce
Lysa TerKeurst, President and Chief Visionary Officer, Proverbs 31 Ministries, shares her story of heartbreak and resilience, describing the end of her 29-year marriage as the “death of the future” she thought she’d have. Through small, faithful steps, she learned to rebuild her life piece by piece. She reminds us that God’s heart is not against those who’ve endured divorce but for their protection and restoration.
Lysa also challenges churches to move beyond fear and become safe places for single parents, places where people can heal, belong, and find hope again. And for parents navigating the aftermath, she offers this reminder: different doesn’t mean bad. Creating new traditions and inside jokes can restore stability and joy for your children, even when life looks unfamiliar.
