Divorce is a deeply painful experience that often carries layers of shame and confusion, especially for Christians. While we don't want to glorify divorce in anyway, we also don't want people quietly suffering without a place to turn. 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What it means to be an image bearer of God — whether you're married or single.
• Why passages of Scripture, like Malachi 2:16, are often misunderstood and how you can know what the original text actually means.
• How to refuse the shame-filled accusations the enemy throws at you.

A special thank-you to our partner for this season: Convoy of Hope. For over 30 years, Convoy of Hope has helped vulnerable communities around the world — and empowering women and girls is a key part of that mission. Convoy of Hope partners with women so they can start their own businesses to better support themselves and their families. Because when women are empowered, entire communities are transformed. Visit convoy.org/p31 to help empower women and girls today.
