When Richy’s wife walked away, it felt like everything he had built his life on came crashing down. What looked like the end became the beginning of a deeper work God wanted to do in him.
In this candid conversation, Richy shares what it has been like to stand for his marriage while his spouse is gone, and how God has used this season to awaken his faith and call him into true spiritual leadership. Richy began to recognize areas where he had fallen short as a husband and as a man of God, and how the Lord has been faithfully transforming him from the inside out.
Even though restoration has not yet happened, Richy continues to pray, trust, and stand on God’s promises for his covenant marriage. His story is a reminder that God often changes us first by healing, refining, and preparing us before He ever changes our circumstances.
If you are standing for your marriage and wondering if God is still at work, this episode will encourage you to keep believing, keep praying, and keep fighting for what God can do.
