Throughout July, One Gospel Minute is returning to its roots. Before podcasts and social media, One Gospel Minute shared biblical truth over the radio through the voice of Tennessee Bible College founder Malcolm Hill.

In this Throwback Thursday archive episode, Malcolm Hill uses the familiar idea of trading to illustrate an important truth about God's design for marriage. While people may trade possessions throughout life, marriage is different. Pointing to Jesus' words in Matthew 19, Malcolm reminds listeners that God created marriage to be a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman. God's design has not changed, and His pattern remains the standard for every generation.
