Shattered to Shimmering: The Discoball Theologian’s Story of Divorce, Healing, God, Glitter, & Grace

Today we are joined by Kerena Lawlor (@discotheo_ on Instagram) as she shares her story of a traumatic and abusive marriage which culminated in a divorce. From this experience, and her passion for ministering to women, Kerena has begun ministering both in person and online to other women who are suffering. Her dream is to communicate to women that they are not alone, that their dreams are not dead, and that God can take their broken pieces and glue them into a disco ball which will reflect his light and love on them and onto others. Kerena has her BA in Ministry to Women from Moody Bible Institute and her MA in Biblical & Theological Studies from Moody Theological Seminary.

Our podcast was born from our friendship. We are two people with very different beliefs, yet a shared desire to have understanding and unity! We love to have good natured "Catholic vs. Protestant" conversations to bridge the gap between our faith traditions. On this podcast, we talk about real and difficult topics such as mental health, faith, sex, shame, and more to cultivate a space where we can all just talk about it. In a culture of social media outrage, division, and "cancelling", we want to create an environment in which we can have fruitful discussion & disagreement.
