Biblical Wisdom for Remarriage Guilt, IVF Ethics & Blended Family Discipline | Under God Podcast Episode 251

Are you haunted by the fear that your remarriage is perpetual sin? Do you wonder if God is punishing you through miscarriage? Are you struggling to co-parent with an ex who undermines your discipline?

You're not alone—and Scripture has answers.

In this Marriage Q&A Part 2, Pastor Stephen Martin and Pastor Nate Brown continue answering the raw, real questions submitted at Vintage Church's marriage conference. With over 130 couples in attendance, the questions poured in—and the answers will transform how you understand God's grace for broken families.

Pastor Nate shares vulnerably from his own journey through divorce and remarriage, including the terrible advice he received from a well-known theologian who told him to leave his second wife. Through personal experience and careful biblical study, he discovered the truth: Christ became the curse for us, and past sin doesn't condemn you to perpetual guilt.

What You'll Discover:

✅ Why "falling out of love" isn't biblical grounds for divorce—and how to choose love daily

✅ The theological error behind telling remarried Christians they're living in sin

✅ A biblical framework for IVF: why life begins at conception, not implantation

✅ What options honor God when you can't have children naturally

✅ How adoption preaches the gospel like nothing else—Pastor Stephen's personal testimony

✅ Practical wisdom for men trapped by no-fault divorce laws

✅ The coaching vs. counseling distinction that changes how you help struggling couples

✅ The one rule that transformed Pastor Nate's blended family: never speak ill of the other parent
