A Different Way | Marriage + Divorce

In this episode of A Different Way, we explore Jesus’ challenging words on marriage and divorce from Matthew 5:31–32.

In a culture where divorce had become casual and one-sided, Jesus raised the bar — restoring God’s vision for covenant faithfulness and protecting the vulnerable. We look at what Jesus meant, how the broader witness of Scripture addresses issues like sexual immorality, abandonment, and abuse, and how to hold together both truth and grace in a deeply personal topic.

If you’ve experienced divorce — whether as the wounded or the one who walked away — this message reminds us that while God takes marriage seriously, He also takes mercy seriously. The gospel is not that we have perfectly kept our vows, but that Jesus has perfectly kept His.
