If you’re a Christian single over 40 who has been divorced and wondering if you’re truly ready to date again… this episode is for you. In this episode of the Saved & Single Podcast, I sit down with licensed counselor and relationship expert Debra Fileta to talk about healing after divorce, why so many people repeat unhealthy relationship patterns, and how to know if you’re actually ready to start dating again. We break down the truth about shame in the church, how trauma impacts who you’re attracted to, and why you may be choosing what’s familiar instead of what’s healthy. Debra also explains why dating should be a season of investigation, not intimacy, and what it really looks like to prepare for a healthy, God-centered relationship. We also talk about navigating dating with children, when to introduce your kids to someone new, red flags to watch for, and how to approach dating with wisdom instead of fear. If you’ve ever asked yourself: Am I really healed… or just ready for companionship? Why do I keep ending up in the same kind of relationship? How do I date again without repeating my past? This conversation will challenge you, equip you, and help you move forward with clarity.
