How does viewing marriage through a biblical framework shift your perspective on commitment, joy, and overcoming brokenness in your relationship?
In this introductory message to the series Broken Together, Pastor Neil McClendon unpacks Genesis 2:15–25 to lay a foundational understanding of God's design for marriage. Moving past cultural misconceptions, Pastor Neil highlights that marriage brings together two imperfect, broken individuals to experience redeeming love, lasting joy, and a shared spiritual mission. Discover why biblical marriage is a sacred covenant, how it serves as a place where shame goes to die, and how God uses our relationships to demonstrate His love and truth to the world.
In this episode, we cover:
- Instituted by God: Understanding that marriage was created by God to address human isolation and provide a suitable helper.
