Send us Fan Mail Divorce is one of those topics that’s easy to talk about—until it becomes personal. Behind the word are real marriages, families, children, betrayal, disappointment, abuse, regret, and pain. So what does the Bible actually say about divorce? In this episode of Ask A Pastor, we take an honest and compassionate look at what Scripture teaches about marriage, divorce, sexual immorality, abandonment, abuse, and remarriage. We explore God’s design for marriage as a lifelong covenant, why Scripture acknowledges divorce in a broken world, and the biblical grounds for divorce that Christians have historically recognized. We also tackle some of the harder questions: What about abuse? Does having biblical grounds for divorce mean you should get divorced? Can trust be rebuilt after betrayal? What if you’re already divorced or remarried? And how should the church walk alongside people whose marriages have experienced deep brokenness? This conversation is about holding truth and grace together. We don’t want to lower God’s standard for marriage, but we also don’t want to use Scripture as a weapon against people who have experienced painful circumstances. Marriage matters. Covenant matters. Obedience matters. And grace matters too. Whether you’re married, struggling, separated, divorced, or remarried, the gospel still applies to you. Wherever your story has taken you, Jesus is still able to redeem what’s broken and lead you forward. Don’t just ask what culture says. Don’t just ask what you feel. Ask what Scripture says—and then have the courage to follow Jesus. Have a question about faith, the Bible, Christianity, relationships, or something you’ve always wondered but never knew who to ask?
