    My Marriage Started After an Unbiblical Divorce: What Should We Do?

    This week on Ask the Pastor, Pastor J.D. answers a question that asked, "I’m currently married to a man who had an unbiblical divorce. To make it worse, we actually began dating before the divorce was finalized. We recently both got saved, and now are facing the question: are we living in continuous adultery? We’re both sick over how our marriage began, but at the same time, we don’t feel right divorcing. Do you have any guidance?” A glimpse inside this episode: This is a really complex question regarding marriage, divorce, and the implications of their past decisions in light of their newfound faith. Pastor J.D. dives into the biblical teachings on divorce, the nature of marriage as a covenant, and the importance of repentance and grace in moving forward. While the circumstances of their marriage may have been sinful, God's mercy allows for redemption and blessing in their current relationship. * Jesus' teachings on divorce emphasize the sanctity of marriage. * Divorce is allowed in cases of adultery, but not required. * God's view of marriage is a covenant of oneness. * Repentance is key to moving forward in faith. * Deuteronomy 24 warns against returning to a previous marriage. * God can redeem even the worst situations. * Acknowledging past sins is important for healing. * God's grace allows for new beginnings in relationships. * The podcast serves as a resource for vulnerable questions.
