Summary:
In this episode, we confront a common but painful belief: that divorce disqualifies someone from serving God. Many have been told that since God hates divorce, He can no longer use them. But today, we’ll explore the lives of two powerful women—Kathryn Kuhlman and Aimee Semple McPherson—who experienced divorce yet were mightily used by God. Their stories remind us that **God’s anointing and calling are not canceled by human mistakes.
Through their journeys, we’ll learn that God’s grace covers our failures and how His purposes for our lives remain, even when the world says otherwise.
Key Discussion Points:
Kathryn Kuhlman’s Journey:- Raised in Missouri with a passion for spreading the Gospel.
- Founded the Denver Revival Tabernacle but faced public scandal after marrying Burroughs Waltrip, who divorced his wife to marry her.
- After her marriage ended, Kathryn felt heartbroken and judged, but she experienced a deeper understanding of God’s grace.
- Kathryn’s greatest ministry moments emerged **after her divorce, with miracles and healings marking her meetings.
Aimee Semple McPherson’s Triumph Through Scandal- Born in Canada, Aimee was a pioneering evangelist, traveling with her first husband as a missionary.
- Despite **two divorces** and several public scandals, Aimee founded the **Four Square Gospel Church** and built the Angelus Temple in Los Angeles.
- Her story highlights that **God can use people even when their personal lives are messy**. She revolutionized evangelism through radio and drama, impacting thousands.
Lessons From Their Lives- **Romans 11:29** reminds us that "God’s gifts and His call are irrevocable."
- Both women faced **public judgment** but continued ministering with powerful anointing.
- God's anointing is given **for the benefit of others**, not just for the minister.
Key Quotes:
- Kathryn Kuhlman: *“It’s a thousand times easier to die physically than to keep on living. You see, the Lord forgives, but people don’t.”*
- “God’s anointing flows through broken vessels.”
If you’ve gone through a divorce and feel disqualified, this episode is for you. **God’s grace is greater than any failure**, and His calling remains on your life. Offer your brokenness to Him and watch Him transform it into something beautiful.

Summary:
In today’s episode, we respond to a heartfelt email from a listener named Angela, who is grappling with the pain and betrayal caused by her ex-husband. Angela asks, “When will the Lord bring justice for all the pain my ex-husband caused me?” This question resonates deeply with many who struggle with injustices experienced during divorce, especially when lies and deception leave lingering wounds.
We explore the challenge between desiring justice and trusting God's timing. While betrayal hurts, we discuss how God’s justice may not always align with our timeline or expectations. We reflect on the challenge of surrendering our right to vengeance and trusting that God will expose what needs to be revealed in His perfect way.
Key Takeaways:
Justice on God's Timeline: The justice we seek may not happen immediately, but God promises that every hidden thing will be brought to light (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14).Letting Go of Revenge: It’s not our role to expose the sins of others publicly; instead, we must trust God to reveal the truth in His time (Romans 12:19).God's Grace for All: God's mercy extends not only to us but also to those who hurt us, which can be difficult to accept but essential for healing.Confession with Caution: While sharing our pain is important, it should be done with trusted individuals who can hold space for our emotions and encourage us to release the burden at the cross.Words Matter: The power of our words over ourselves and others should align with God's truth, fostering healing rather than bitterness.Encouragement:
When the desire for justice feels overwhelming, remember that God sees every wound and betrayal. His justice brings not only correction but also redemption and healing. Trusting Him requires surrendering your pain and allowing His perfect will to unfold.
If you’ve struggled with betrayal or the desire for justice, we’d love to hear your story. Send us your questions or thoughts at [your contact info]. Don't forget to share this episode with anyone who might need encouragement today.
