My Husband Deleted Me Off of His Instagram #HMAY Ep. 261
PRE-ORDER FATHER YOURSELF FIRST TODAY!A listener married young and in love; years later, pregnant with a toddler at home, she’s watching her husband drift from faith, hide the marriage online, and surround himself with bad influences. Birthdays and Mother’s Days go ignored, passwords are gone, and therapy suggests an ultimatum. Is she clinging to hope—or ignoring what she already knows?We talk:🕊️ Redemption starts with repentance and confession—and two willing people.🚩 Public secrecy is a signal: removing your spouse from socials isn’t “privacy,” it presents you as single—trust what that communicates. 🧭 Gaslighting check: move as if you know the truth, and seek clarity wisely (community, receipts, even a P.I. if safe)—but remember, you can’t unsee what you find. 👥 Character over position: look for someone submitted to mentors, community, and growth; that’s more telling than job titles or labels. 🧩 Forgiveness ≠ reconciliation: you can extend grace without staying; with kids, co-parenting may continue, but covenant requires honesty and change. Have you ever had to choose clarity over comfort in a relationship? What did repentance look like in real life? Episode 261 is live—tap in and share your story.
