My story has been marked by seasons of joy, hardship, growth, and deep restoration. One of the most shaping experiences of my life was walking through the pain of divorce—something I never expected, yet something God has used to form in me a deeper compassion, greater humility, and a stronger dependence on His grace.

I know what it’s like to carry grief and questions, and to need the tender mercy of God and the support of His people. That experience has stirred in me a deep conviction: the Church must be a place where both truth and compassion dwell. Divorce is never part of God’s original design, and it’s never something to take lightly—but no story is beyond the reach of His redemption.

I believe in the beauty and permanence of marriage as God designed it: a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman (Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:5–6), meant to reflect Christ’s love for the Church—faithful, sacrificial, forgiving, and full of grace (Ephesians 5:25–32).

And yet, we live in a broken world where sin and pain touch even our most sacred relationships. Scripture acknowledges that divorce is sometimes permitted—such as in cases of sexual immorality (Matthew 19:9) or abandonment by an unbelieving spouse (1 Corinthians 7:15). Even in these hard moments, God’s heart remains for healing, wholeness, and wherever possible, reconciliation.

In Practice:

I walk alongside those who are hurting, encouraging reconciliation when possible, and offering pastoral care rooted in both truth and mercy. I believe God can redeem every chapter of our lives and use even our pain to tell a greater story of His glory.
