Divorce is so deeply complex, confusing, and gut-wrenching — especially when you are blindsided by betrayal and left facing a future you never asked for.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why Matthew 19 is often misunderstood and debated, and what Jesus actually meant.
• What the connection is between Old and New Testament teachings on marriage and divorce.
• How to keep refusing shame so you can walk toward deeper healing for your future.
