Avery Sunshine: “My First Marriage, I Chose It” | Love You Moore Show

Family, GRAMMY-winning Avery*Sunshine sat down with me on the Love You Moore Show. She told me about the first marriage she chose young, raising two little ones as a single mom while she chased her music, and the day she got as low as she could on a linoleum floor and decided to course-correct. Then we got into the church, the pause she's still learning to take, and how love found her again with her husband, Dana. In this episode: • Why she says her first marriage was her choice, and why she wouldn't tear her kids' father down in front of them • The day on a linoleum floor when she decided to course correct • What she'd tell a pastor when a woman in his church is pregnant and not married • The pause she's learning to take, with the people she loves most • The first time she read the time without her glasses, and why it changed everything • What her father said about Dana, and what it's like when somebody makes you better • My word to the church: love them as I loved you Chapters: 0:00 Rx Outreach (sponsor) and a preview 1:09 Welcome, Avery*Sunshine 2:43 What the Love You Moore Show is for 3:52 “My first marriage, I chose it” 7:17 “A single mommy trying” 9:15 Music was her therapy, then real therapy 10:16 “We did that together” 11:39 “There is a way that I can tell the truth” 13:15 The immediate and the ultimate 14:43 Sponsor break 16:15 Back from the break, and the Cosby Show picture 17:20 “Just pause” 19:31 How the church handled her uncoupling 21:55 “What can I do to help you?” 24:12 “Maybe I wrote it” 24:53 Keep them in the house so they can be loved 28:21 “This is not what God wants for me” 29:33 Course correcting 31:08 “Nobody said it” 32:17 “Tell me what time it is” 33:49 How do you receive love a second time? 34:50 The people who showed up 36:38 “That's your husband” 37:20 “They find beauty in it” 38:12 The love she wants to feel in church 39:54 Why I built this show 40:21 “The way he moves, it calls for it” 42:11 Love them like I loved you 44:44 Next week on the Love You Moore Show This episode is brought to you by my friends at Rx Outreach, a nonprofit mail-order pharmacy.
