From Divorce Papers to Divine Restoration - Interview with Kevin & Bree Bailey

Show notes

About This Episode Kevin and Bree Bailey were one week away from a finalized divorce. After 12 years of marriage and seven years of counseling, a counselor advised them to separate, Kevin filed and began another relationship, and Bree kept praying, leaning on The Power of a Praying Wife. Then Kevin called and said he was sorry, and Bree answered right away: "I forgive you." Both gave their lives to Jesus at a church service on the woman at the well, and they began rebuilding their marriage God's way. In this conversation, they share why forgiveness is supernatural and takes only one person while reconciliation takes two, why Kevin's choice to keep his apartment was a mistake, and how God can make a broken marriage new.
