BUILDING STRONG HOMES podcast
HOST: CAROL ROPER
Divorce is designed to destroy you. That is a very raw quote from this week’s guest, Amy Straley. But, with God’s help, Amy is an overcomer. When she married her high school sweetheart, she envisioned a blissful future ahead. Instead, she endured 17 years of emotional, verbal, and eventually physical abuse before realizing there was no hope for her marriage.
When she finally divorced him, she expected life with her kids would transform into something better. She thought she was living a healthy life because it looked so much like what she thought was the typical divorcee’s behavior. But after going through several toxic dating relationships, looking for a man to save her, she finally hit rock bottom and landed on her knees, begging Jesus to help her find a way out of her chaotic lifestyle and into one filled with peace and abundance.
She shares how those years of marriage and then singleness negatively affected her and her children and how she finally came to realize she needed to rebuild her family from the ground up. Amy is now an example of how God can bring you to abundant life in Him. She’s so in love with Jesus and knows He’s the only Savior she needs to help her find joy and contentment in her life.
