In this episode, we sit down with an extraordinary guest, Dr. Leslie Powell Ahmadi, who shares her captivating journey from pursuing a Ph.D. in foreign language and culture education at The Ohio State University to unexpectedly falling in love with an Iranian doctoral student in agronomy. As a Black American Christian, she never imagined marrying Mahmoud, a Muslim man, and moving to Iran. Yet, she did and her four years living there were filled with experiences that transformed her life—discovering the culture, teaching at a university, raising children, and witnessing the profound beauty and challenges of her new environment. Join us as she reflects on love, identity, and navigating life in a foreign land.

According to the CDC, there is one divorce in America every 42 seconds. The contributing factors are anything from isolation, financial strain, and political division to domestic violence, lack of communication, and differing beliefs. If things are going badly, you shouldn't feel guilt or shame for wanting to leave.
We sat down with Christian Family, a twice-divorced, adult child of divorce, divorce attorney who has been practicing for nearly 20 years. She is passionate about removing the stigma from divorce that causes good people to stay in bad marriages.
