How To Not Take A Single Relationship For Granted — With My Wife Carmen Riot Smith
So many of the stories in this season were about people who reached a precipice in their life and felt like it was over because their life, as they knew it, was over. Like Wen Peetes from episode 2 when she confronted her Mom and Dad about sexual abuse and beating in her childhood—that was a point of no return for her. Just like it was for Kyra in episode 3 when she had a panic attack moments before telling her husband she was getting a divorce. Part 2 of my conversation with my wife, Carmen Riot Smith, is our answer to the question, what is it like on the other side of that precipice? And I'm happy to say, the other side has treated us pretty well.
The conversation we've had with so many of you in messages has been really touching and we don't want it to end. So Carmen decided to start an email newsletter to continue the conversation with those of you who are grappling with what it means to leave the evangelical church and the hope and the grief that brings. You can find it at carmenriotsmith.com/newsletter. Unlike mass email newsletters this one will be intimate, and it's just for people coming out of the evangelical church.
