About this listen

UnYoked Podcast, hosted by Todd Turner, explores divorce and recovery for Christians.

🎙️ Buckle up, Believers! UnYoked isn't your typical podcast about God's view on marriage or when God allows divorce. We're diving into the complexities of divorce and post-divorce life, providing a safe space to discuss the milestones and challenges we face as Christians navigating this journey.

🌟 God's grace extends beyond the statement "I hate divorce." On UnYoked, we explore the standards, restoration, and renewal God graciously offers, even when His standards aren't met. Whether you're two months into a divorce, just out of it, or two years into singleness, find advice to help stabilize yourself, discover your single identity, and become the 2.0 version of YOU.

💔 Christian marriage and divorce advice often clash with the harsh realities of pain, abuse, and loneliness. UnYoked is here for those of us navigating the life-changing event of unYoking from a spouse or uprooting a family. It's a safe space to wonder, ponder, relate, and consider your steps through divorce, singleness, and the future.

🌈 More than a Divorce Recovery Podcast, UnYoked is a journey into self-discovery and self-help, blending faith, practical advice, and community. Remove the mask, let's get real about the ripple effects of divorce, and equip ourselves to survive being unYoked as Christians.

Explore the tension between God's plan and the realities of living in a broken world. Join us on this transformative journey at http://www.ToddTurner.com

  • Building a Life You Don’t Need to Escape From
    May 12 2025

    Divorce can leave your life feeling like a hollow shell of what it once was—but what if this next season could be even better? In this episode, we talk about how to stop surviving and start building a life you actually want to wake up to.

    If you're a divorced Christian wondering how to create meaning, joy, and spiritual peace in your daily routine—without waiting for someone else to complete you—this is for you.

    We’ll explore:

    • Why “alone” doesn’t mean “lonely”
    • How to create a life-giving rhythm (even if it’s just you)
    • Biblical encouragement for moving forward
    • Why God hasn’t hit pause on your purpose

    You’re not starting over—you’re starting different. And it might just be better than you imagined.

    UnYoked - The Post Divorce Podcast: Navigating your divorce and recovery with grace.

    Divorce and the new single life is hard but it is even more complex when you made a promise to God to "keep your marriage till death do you part." American Christian culture doesn't make navigating the decisions and ripple effects of divorce any easier. Christian marriage and divorce advice runs rampant yet often conflicts with the realities of pain, abuse, loneliness, and the real world.

    God has a lot more to say than, “I hate divorce.” God gives a standard and then graciously restores and renews people even when His standard isn't met.

    Those of us who are navigating the life changing event of unYoking from a spouse and/or uprooting a family have to journey through some dark, lonely, and confusing places. Our issues aren't frequently tackled from the pulpit and the advice we receive isn't always relevant to our current place.

    The UnYoked podcast is just for you. A safe place to wonder, ponder, relate, and consider your steps of navigating a divorce, singleness, and the future. A place where we live in the tension between God's plan and the realities of living in a broken world with broken people and broken relationships. Buckle up... remove the mask.. and let's get real about discussing the ripple effects of divorce and equip ourselves to survive being unYoked as a Christian.

  • Overcoming Heartbreak: Life's Adventure
    Apr 3 2025

    Life has a way of rowing us in unexpected directions, especially after divorce. When my lighthouse suddenly disappeared—a significant relationship ending abruptly after I'd already downsized my home and podcast studio—I found myself adrift, questioning everything.

    What followed was a journey of rediscovery that took me across seven states on a three-week road trip, connecting with friends who opened their homes and hearts when I needed it most. Between driving with a windshield shattered by an 18-pound piece of metal (a near-death experience that left me covered in glass for a three-hour drive) and sleeping under the stars in Maui while whale songs filled the night air, I've had time to reflect on what truly matters and where this podcast needs to go.

    Your messages about how Unyoked has helped your divorce recovery journey have been my compass through this challenging time. I've realized that divorce recovery isn't just for those in the immediate aftermath—it's also for those who've moved beyond being "the divorced person" but still carry wounds that need healing. This understanding has inspired me to expand with two YouTube channels: Unyoked Divorce Podcast specifically for recovery, and Unyoked Living for embracing life after being unyoked from past relationships. I'm also completing a men's workbook to complement the women's resource many of you have used.

    Ready to join me for this next chapter? Subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts, check out the YouTube channels for more frequent content, and remember that healing isn't linear—sometimes we need to stop rowing, sit still, and find our new lighthouse. What part of your journey could use some companionship right now?


    • Transition to a minimalist lifestyle and its impact on the podcast.
    • Navigating through unexpected relationship changes and self-discovery.
    • Todd’s cross-country road trip and memorable experiences.
    • The importance of a supportive community during challenging times.
    • Exciting updates for the UnYoked Podcast and new content on YouTube.

  • Unpacking the Untold Complexities Within Christian Marriages
    May 21 2024
    Join Dawn Wiggins and Todd Turner on the UnYoked Podcast as they tackle the intricate and often misunderstood realms of marriage, personal growth, and divorce from a Christian perspective. In this compelling episode, they delve deep into why quick fixes and surface-level counseling may not be enough for marital issues. They explore the importance of root work in personal and spiritual contexts, discussing unconventional healing practices and the significance of both partners being fully engaged in transformative work. Timestamps highlight discussions on the effectiveness of premarital counseling, the misconceptions surrounding spiritual healing methods like constitutional homeopathy, tarot cards, and crystals, and the critical need to re-evaluate "bad theology" that could keep people in harmful relationships.

    Dawn’s Bio:

    Dawn Wiggins became a marriage and family therapist because of her own experience as a child of divorce. About 10 years into her career, she thought: “This doesn’t work. This sucks.” At the same time, she became trained in EMDR. And that was a game changer. She saw her clients healing so much faster and more deliciously.

    She expanded her practice to integrate multiple modalities from EMDR to EFT tapping, journaling, and energetic remedies for the mind and body—because you can’t heal one without healing the other. As a top-ranked therapist, she garnered a waiting list and top-secret “who’s who” clientele. But it’s her mission to deliver life-changing therapy in an accessible, scalable, affordable way and make waves in the world of mental health with the same enlightenment that happens in her office: part science, part essential oils, pure magic.

    She helps people tear down their illusions with a candid approach that sometimes inspires frustration. Because being in reality can feel terrifying. Parts of you that you didn’t know existed reveal themselves. Past traumas you’d buried or never even knew you had come to the surface. And the thing is, once you crack it open, it’s hard to go back. The only way out is through.

    Divorce isn’t the end of your journey. It’s

Todd has a lot to say, but unfortunately most of it is just his personal feelings and is sorely lacking in Christian principles. He definitely shies away from scripture and errantly leads a believer to justify poor choices because they simply want to feel good (EP 16). Being a Christ-follower means that we die unto ourselves, put in conscious effort to crucify our own flesh and offer ourselves as a living sacrifice for GODS glory, not our own, even after/during trial and heartache. Several episodes in and I absolutely would not recommend his podcast. There are some nuggets of insight as he has walked the path of divorce, but relaxing morals and blatantly violating God’s word cannot be normal practice or excusable behavior for any believer.
