Episode Details

In this powerful conclusion to the series, Dr. Michael Youssef addresses one of Jesus’ most sobering teachings—on marriage, divorce, and the hardness of the human heart. Drawing from Matthew 19, Dr. Youssef refuses to water down the words of Christ or cater to cultural compromise. Instead, he upholds the authority of Scripture, declaring that marriage is a holy covenant ordained by God, not a contract of convenience. While Jesus permits divorce only in cases of persistent, unrepentant unfaithfulness, He never commands it. God’s design is lifelong union—and His heart is for healing and restoration. This episode calls every believer to repentance, to intercession, and to unwavering obedience to the Lordship of Christ.  If today’s teaching stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don’t have to walk through it alone.  🙏 Pastoral Care & Prayer Teams Our trained prayer partners and pastoral care team are available to pray with you and offer Biblical support. https://ltw.org/care 💬 Receive personal answers to your faith questions—anytime, day or night—at: https://myfaithassistant.com If you’ve been blessed by this podcast, please consider a tax-deductible donation to help extend this ministry—so another person can be encouraged, prayed for, and pointed to Christ. ❤️ Support Leading The Way: https://www.ltw.org/donate
