Why God Let Your Marriage Fail (The Truth About Christian Divorce)

Did God abandon you because your marriage failed? Is divorce the unpardonable sin? If you have been praying for your marriage to be saved, only to find yourself sitting alone in the darkness of betrayal, heartbreak, and crushing religious guilt, you are not alone.

Many Christians who experience the tragedy of a broken marriage are treated like outcasts in the church. Weaponizing the verse "God hates divorce," the modern church often leaves victims of infidelity, emotional abuse, and spiritual abandonment feeling condemned by the very God they are crying out to.

In this premier episode of "From the Ruins," Michael and Lisa Chriswell share their raw, unfiltered stories of surviving multiple failed marriages plagued by unfaithfulness, abuse, and spiritual death. After enduring the painful sting of church alienation and the agony of a broken covenant, they discovered a profound biblical truth: God cares more about the eternal souls of His children than the temporary earthly institution of a toxic marriage.

Join us in this journey as we will be diving deep into the Scriptures to uncover what the Bible actually says about Christian divorce, unequally yoked marriages, and the true context of Malachi 2:16. We will expose the spiritual bondage of remaining tied to an unrepentant, spiritually dead spouse, and share how God miraculously provided the "grace to love again” after we faced such betrayals.

In this series, we answer the questions Christians are searching for:
• What are the biblical grounds for divorce?
• Is it a sin for a Christian to remarry?
• Does God expect you to stay in an abusive or unfaithful marriage?
• What does the Bible say about being married to a spiritually dead spouse?
• How to heal from the guilt and shame of a Christian divorce.

If you are a wounded bird seeking healing, or if you feel like you are dying a spiritual death inside your marriage, there is hope, freedom, and redemption waiting for you on the other side.
