Is It Grace? A Critical Examination of Infidelity Narratives in Christian Marriages

 Host: Fatima Denga delivers a bonus episode on the 'Undefined Life' podcast, titled'Is It Grace? God Doesn't Change People.'

The episode critiques the narrative of 'struggle love,' particularly within the Black community, by examining theviral testimony of Pastor Reggie and Shelley Steele from the 'Dear Future Wifey' podcast. Fatima discusses key issues such as the acceptance of infidelity, the impact of limiting beliefs, and the shortcomings of church teachings on marriage. She also touches on the psychological and emotional impacts on women who stay in such marriages, ultimately questioning the role of grace and divine change in these complex relationships.
