The Waves Collective is a community for those navigating life after divorce—singleness, co-parenting, remarriage, and rebuilding.

Rooted in Scripture, we walk together in healing, discipleship, and forward-focused faith. Waves Ministries exists to help the divorced encounter Jesus and rise in their identity and relationship with Christ. Rooted in the truth that “mightier than the waves of the sea is the Lord on high” (Psalm 93:4), this ministry is a place of hope, restoration, and discipleship for men and women walking through life after divorce. Our heart is to see lives renewed, faith strengthened, and people reminded that in Christ, no storm has the final word.

Most hurtful comments come from people who love us and just don’t know what to say.

Job’s friends actually did their best work in the first seven days, when they sat with him and said nothing (Job 2:13). It was when they started explaining his suffering that things went sideways.

You don’t need the perfect words. You need to show up.

Save this for later. Share it with your small group.

Divorce changes a family. We won’t pretend it doesn’t.

But it doesn’t get the final word on your family’s future. God does.

Lamentations was written in the rubble. And right there, in the middle of the loss, Jeremiah says His mercies are new every morning.

Grieve what ended. Then take one faithful step forward.

Send this to a parent who needs it today.

If divorce has touched your life (yours, your parents’, your kids’, your best friend’s), you’re in the right place.

We’re The Waves Collective. A Christian nonprofit for anyone affected by divorce.

Not a place to stay stuck. A place to heal, grow, and find out who you are in Christ.

“...who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction...” 2 Corinthians 1:4

Follow along. And if someone came to mind while you read this, send it to them.

Hi, I’m Ruby!

When I first shared the heart behind The Waves Collective, I talked about my own journey through divorce, rebuilding my life, raising my children, and learning to steward my singleness in a way that honors God.

That story hasn’t changed, but the mission has grown.

I’ve been divorced for nearly a decade, and one thing I’ve learned is that healing isn’t something we check off a list. It’s a continual process of surrender, obedience, and allowing God to transform us from the inside out.

The Waves Collective was born from that understanding.

Today, we’re a 501(c)(3) nonprofit ministry committed to walking alongside individuals and families impacted by divorce. Whether you’re navigating the aftermath, learning to co-parent, rebuilding your identity, stewarding singleness, or preparing your heart for what God has next, there’s a place for you here.

I don’t believe divorce gets the final word over anyone’s life. But I also don’t believe healing happens simply because time passes.

It happens when we invite God into the places we’d rather avoid and allow Him to do the work only He can do.

My heart isn’t to help people simply move on. It’s to help them move forward, rooted in Christ rather than defined by their circumstances.

I’m still learning, still growing, and still walking in obedience myself.

And I’m grateful that God has allowed my story to become a place where others can find hope.

Whether you’ve been here from the beginning or you’re just finding us, welcome to The Waves Collective.

I’m glad you’re here.

Divorce has touched all of us.

Maybe it was your story. Maybe it was your parents, your sister, your best friend, someone at your church. Maybe you’ve sat across from someone whose whole life changed overnight and had no idea what to say to them.

Most of us don’t. That’s not a failure… it’s just how unfamiliar this kind of grief is until it’s yours.

But here’s what I’ve learned: you don’t have to have the right words. You just have to know where to point someone.

The Waves Collective exists so people touched by divorce don’t walk through it alone. And as we grow, we’re inviting people, businesses, churches, and professionals to help us build the thing so many of us wish had existed when divorce entered our own stories.

There’s a place for you in this. Serve with us. Sponsor a gathering. Lend your expertise. Open your business or your church. Give.

Come build with us.
