Brad Hambrick, pastor of counseling at The Summit Church and author of books on infidelity and the church’s care for the abused, will bring clear, pastoral wisdom for one of the hardest realities: when marriages end through betrayal or abuse. He will help divorced believers navigate the complicated dynamics of church—how to face judgment or misunderstanding, what true repentance looks like, and why reconciliation isn’t always possible. Brad will also speak directly to pastors and ministry leaders, offering practical guidance on creating safe environments, supporting the vulnerable, and leading churches to respond with both truth and compassion.
