Ghost of Trauma’s Past

The other day I was driving through an area I had been in the past. It provoked some weird feelings.

One of the last times I had driven through that area was for my ecclesiastical trial deposition.

This was where my former denomination convened a panel of pastors roughly my father’s age who were disastrously naïve about cheaters. It was about three hours of questions to determine whether or not I ought to keep my ministerial license and thereby my livelihood following my divorce from my cheater.

It was that experience which solidified in my mind the need for my ministry for faithful spouses. The church was ill-equipped to help us.

So, as I drove by, I was reminded of that awful afternoon now over a decade ago away. Apparently, my body still registers that terrible experience.

Yet even that, God has turned to His glory through launching this ministry, Divorce Minister: Taking Adultery Seriously!
