You have so many questions, so many emotions. And yet, you have a hard time returning to your church, your pastor and to the cross of Christ.             Step forward today and face your emotions and your pain. Ask the hard questions. Seek the answers you don't know how to find the answers to. Start the path toward healing your shattered heart in the only way that can truly heal you... at the foot of the cross of the Savior Jesus Christ. Join me for season 4, as I discuss my own divorce story and healing process, and interview other Christians who have gone through the ravages of divorce. You are not alone.

This week, I interview fellow podcaster Melinda Patrick about finding out her daughter was same-sex attracted. We discuss how she responded, what went wrong and what went right, and how we as Christian’s can maintain a relationship with our LGBT+ loved ones without compromising our faith convictions.

He will wipe away our tears and restore our lives, even if the restoration doesn't look the way we expect it to. Courtney Lowman is a wife, mom, speaker and podcast host.  Courtney’s time as a high school and Bible teacher, missionary, and discipler has convinced her that women have an absolute need for discipleship and mentorship. Wishing she could share her own mentors with others, Courtney created The Journey of Ruth Podcast. Each episode reflects her mission to help women Love Jesus, Read His Work, and Reach Others. The weekly podcast episodes, full of targeted conversations, wisdom, and plenty of laughter, have grown to reach a global audience. Courtney enjoys living out her mission closer to home as a volunteer alongside her husband in their church’s college ministry, as a speaker, and as a discipler of young women. When teaching and speaking, Courtney’s energetic and honest presentation of the Word of God encourages women to connect with scripture in a consistent and personal manner; allowing the Bible to not just inform, but direct their daily lives. When she’s not teaching or speaking, Courtney can be found reading, baking, having coffee with friends, or spending time with family. Check out her podcast here: https://www.journeyofruth.com/
