Over the past few days, I’ve taken time to affirm what is true and respond to some of the speculation and misinformation (specifically the autogenerated tabloid articles like TMZ, US Weekly, etc.) surrounding my divorce in 2020. I did so because I believed, and still do, that it would be both hopeful and helpful.
But I also know this: living in the past doesn’t heal anyone.
From this point forward, I won’t be addressing the details of those events any longer. I’ve said what needed to be said, and now it’s time to close that chapter.
This space will become what it was intended to be: a place for honest conversations about mental health, recovery, faith, resilience, and the pursuit of becoming better humans. We’ve all experienced loss, regret, and turning points. My hope is that by sharing lessons learned—without rehashing the past—we can all find encouragement for the road ahead.
Thank you to those who have read with empathy and understanding. Your support means more than you know. The future of this space is bright, and I’m looking forward to talking about the things that bring life, hope, and healing.
Here’s to what’s next.
I just finished Jen’s book. I have to say you two are both dynamic. By reading your stuff and hers I can see why you loved each other and were so successful in life until your divide. I sure hope you both rediscover a genuine, fulfilling faith. The church big C needs you. Broken people need real people.
I just finished Jen’s book and was surprised and glad that she took ownership of her part in the breakdown of your marriage. While the inferno started that July night, she readily admits that through therapy she knew that it was smoldering for years and that she contributed to that and ignored it. I loved her perspective on how the church has hurt men also and how that contributed to your downfall. I also thought it was respectful of her to clarify that your new wife had nothing to do with the breakup of your marriage.
I hope you have both reached a space of compassion and respect for one another and that the publishing of this book doesn’t derail that. To come to that point is the greatest gift you can give your children and grandchildren.
