A pair of weathered wooden rocking chairs with soft, neutral cushions sit side by side on a wide, painted front porch, angled slightly toward each other as if in conversation. Between them rests a small round table holding two simple ceramic mugs and a neatly bound journal with a pen. Late afternoon natural light wraps the scene in a warm, golden glow, casting gentle shadows from the porch railing onto the floorboards. The background shows leafy trees softly out of focus, adding depth and privacy. Photographic realism, eye-level perspective, and a calm, inviting atmosphere convey a quiet, judgment-free space for reflection and support.

Front Porch Chats

Come and chat with a friend while you decide if you need to make some changes

A place for you to chat with someone who has been there

Front Porch Chats is a gentle space to sort through your questions about staying or leaving, especially if your marriage and faith community feel tangled together. This space allows you to chat with someone who has been there and is able to hear the thoughts that are heavy on your heart.

Support

One-on-one decision coaching sessions focused on untangling pressure, expectations, and fears so you can hear your own voice. These will include gentle, faith-aware conversations that honor your story while exploring options for separation, reconciliation, or rebuilding life after divorce. Any conversations including Scripture would be led by you.

If there is enough interest, a group option will be explored.

Meet Stacy

In January 2024, Stacy told her husband of nearly 29 years that she wanted to dissolve their marriage (the legal term in Minnesota). He was an ordained minister in a Baptist denomination and had served churches and in denominational leadership since 2002. There is a long story behind the final decision to say the words, “I want to dissolve our marriage.” That story, along with the time it took to make the decision and the aftermath of speaking those words, is why Stacy has chosen to offer herself to women – especially pastors’ wives – who question if they need to say similar words.
