003. Finding Love After Divorce: Black Man + White Woman + Five Kids = One Wild Ride
In this episode, we’re sharing our love story—how two single parents from completely different backgrounds met at one of the most diverse churches in Denver, fell in love, and started blending a family of SEVEN.
Yeah. Talk about a wild ride!
We’re talking about the early days of dating, the honest conversations we had about race, parenting, and our past trauma, and the intentional steps we took to build trust with each other and with our kids. We’ve been blending for five years now, and while it has not been easy OR perfect, it has been deeply meaningful. We are an interracial, ministry-minded, entrepreneurial family who try to keep it real—and we hope you can learn something from hearing about our journey.
Key Takeaways:
✅ Blended families are built on trust, honesty, and shared values.
✅ Interracial couples must have open conversations—early and often.
✅ Dating as a single parent is a package deal—your kids matter.
✅ You don’t have to choose between your spouse and your kids. It’s Both/And.
✅ Your past marriage wasn’t a waste—you carry wisdom into what’s next.
✅ Divorce doesn’t disqualify you from love or building a legacy.
✅ God is still writing your story—and it might be better than you imagined.
Second marriages are not second-class. We’re building something beautiful together and we're so grateful!

002: Blended Families are not Second-Class Citizens
Many blended families struggle with feeling like second-class citizens, especially within the church.
The truth is: Blended families are not broken leftovers.
We are families with purpose, restoration, and love! We’re a picture of God’s greater blended family coming together as one.
We’re passionate about changing the narrative around blended families. We want to offer real conversations, hope, and encouragement for those navigating the complexities of love and parenting after divorce.
Key Takeaways from this episode:
✅ Blended families are just as valuable and full of purpose as any other family.
✅ 50% of families in the church today are blended—we’re not going anywhere!
✅ Your past doesn’t define you. The lessons you’ve learned are valuable, and your family deserves restoration.
✅ If you’ve been through divorce, you are NOT a failure. Release the shame and step into healing.
✅ Going through divorce doesn’t disqualify you from ministry!
✅ What is God inviting you to partner in?
Having it “all together” is an illusion. Healing and growth is ongoing and we want to share as we go!!!
