What the Bible Really Teaches About Divorce, Remarriage and Restoration | Under God Podcast Episode 249
Divorce affects nearly every family in some way—yet it remains one of the most misunderstood and mishandled topics in the church. In this deeply personal session from the Strong Marriage Conference, Pastor Nate Brown breaks his silence and shares his own testimony of walking through divorce in his early 20s and finding God's restoration on the other side.
This isn't theoretical theology. Pastor Nate speaks as someone who knows the pain of not doing things God's way, understands the price it costs, and has experienced the restoration that's possible through genuine repentance and grace.
