Eternal City just finished a sermon series called "Theology Untangled" where the pastors sought to answer every submitted question the congregation and or extended family and friends had; the result was more questions than a short sermon series could handle. In this and the next podcast episodes, the pastors will be addressing all the questions that were not answered in the sermon series. We hope and pray you will enjoy this practical and theologically rich Q&A discussion!

Marriage, divorce, and remarriage are common experiences within and outside the church. Does the Bible have anything concrete to say about this most intimate of human relationships and the dissolving of it? In this interview Dr. George Scipioni offers biblical clarity from the scriptures. George has not only counseled thousands of people throughout his lifetime but also equipped thousands to do biblical counseling. We hope you enjoy this Q&A on divorce and remarriage.

You can find George's two books "The Battle for the Biblical Family" and "Timothy, Titus, & You" at these links:
