Ask A Christian
What does the Bible actually say about divorce and remarriage — and does unhappiness count as grounds? In this episode, Nate and the crew field a wildcard question from a Hindu caller who identifies as the goddess Shiva, wants out of her marriage to a Catholic Navy man, and — plot twist — thinks the Bible needs to be rewritten to accommodate her feelings. Relatable content, honestly. But that opens the door to a serious, substantive conversation about what the Bible teaches on marriage and divorce. The hosts tackle the unequally yoked principle from 2 Corinthians 6, what the biblical purpose of marriage actually is (spoiler: not your happiness), the narrow biblical grounds for divorce — adultery, true abandonment — and whether domestic abuse constitutes grounds to divorce and/or remarry. 1 Corinthians 7 and Matthew 19 both come under the microscope, and the co-hosts don't always land in the same place, which makes for genuinely good discussion. If you've ever wondered why Christians have such strong (and sometimes divided) views on divorce, this episode is for you. No drama. Well, some drama. She did claim to be a deity.
