Have you ever felt like God promised you something—maybe even years ago—but life has taken a detour through disappointment, divorce, or delay? In this powerful episode, Dana dives into the story of Abram and explores how delay does not mean denial.

From Genesis 12 to 17, we walk with Abram on a 25-year journey from promise to fulfillment. God didn’t change His mind—He was preparing Abram to carry the promise. And just like Abram, God is preparing you.

This episode will encourage you to trust that your current season isn’t wasted. Even in the heartbreak, the unknown, or the waiting room of life, God is still working.

📖 In This Episode, You’ll Discover:

• Why your delay might be God's process—not punishment
• How Abram's transformation speaks to your healing journey
• What to do while you're waiting on the promise
• Why your divorce didn’t disqualify your destiny
• How God may change your name—and your identity—on the way to your breakthrough

Episode Summary: In this episode of Rise and Reclaim After Divorce, Dana explores the deep healing that comes when we stop speaking from our pain and start aligning our thoughts and words with God’s truth. Using Genesis 1 as a foundation, she compares God’s creative process to our emotional healing—highlighting how the Holy Spirit “hovers” over our pain and speaks light into darkness.

Dana also introduces the science of neuroplasticity, illustrating how our thoughts shape our brains and how healing begins with intentional shifts in mindset and speech. If you've found yourself stuck chewing on the gristle of bitterness, unforgiveness, and grief, this episode will give you spiritual and practical tools to begin rebuilding.

Key Scriptures:

• Genesis 1:1-3 – “Let there be light.”
• Proverbs 18:21 – Life and death are in the power of the tongue.
• Isaiah 58:12 – You shall be called the Repairer of the Breach.
• 2 Corinthians 2:10–11 – Forgive, so the enemy has no advantage.

Mentioned in this Episode:

• The Pioneer Anointing by Barbara Yoder – https://a.co/d/6U741Vl
• Dana’s upcoming book: Healing After Divorce – 35 Prayers Rooted in God’s Word for Divorced Christians, Coming this summer!

Takeaways:

• Healing is a process, not an instant miracle.
• Time Under Tension (TUT) in fitness mirrors spiritual transformation.
• The Holy Spirit hovers over our darkness, waiting for our partnership.
• Repeating pain-filled words can stall healing—rewire your brain with God’s Word.
• Your thought life directly impacts your healing journey.

Call to Action: Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal where you’re stuck in negative thought loops. Then, choose to speak life and let Him partner with you to rebuild what was broken.

Pastor Ken has done it all from being a bouncer in night clubs, winning multiple body building championships to pastoring churches. He had a radical conversion and pursued God with the same excellence as his body building championships. He received his degree in Engineering but prefers to engineer for the Kingdom of God. He has a hunger for seeing people live the lives that God designed them to live. As both a pastor and a competitive bodybuilder, God uses Ken in unique ways to share His love and goodness.

Pastor Ken Ralston has done it all from being a bouncer in night clubs, winning multiple body building championships to pastoring churches.

He has a hunger for seeing people live the lives that God designed them to live.

As both a pastor and a competitive bodybuilder, God uses Ken in unique ways to share His love and goodness. Devastated by his own divorce, Pastor Ken shares how he pressed through to rise and reclaim his call and destiny.
