Should I Get a Divorce? What a Christian Should Consider

Before you sign the final papers or walk away out of pure exhaustion, slow down. This premiere episode of the UnYoked Podcast (Season 1: UnYoking Divorce Recovery) confronts the agonizing questions facing believers on the brink of divorce. Todd Turner shares his raw, 18-month fight for marriage restoration and uncovers the dangerous traps of cultural lies and "quick fix" advice.There are so many emotional and painful moments that lead up to a divorce. Sometimes we just want "OUT" and we want the pain to stop. But, too often, we are jumping from a seemingly unfixable situation into an even more desperate reality. Listen to today's episode for a reasonable, faith-based checklist to consider before you contact a lawyer.In this episode, we cover: • The "Extra Mile" rule for marriage restoration: Why you must fight for your family until you have absolute peace. • Deconstructing dangerous myths: Why "God just wants you to be happy" is a theological trap. • Practical steps: Why professional counseling and legal counsel are non-negotiable before making permanent decisions. • The "Stay Off" list: Why social media, dating apps, and outside relationships will sabotage your healing and legal standing.Resources & Divorce Decision-Making: If you are at a crossroads, find guided resources here: https://www.toddturner.com/unyoked-christian-divorce-decisions/ Explore all UnYoked resources: https://www.toddturner.com/divorceAbout the UnYoked Podcast: Navigating divorce as a Christian is complex, especially when you made a promise to God to "keep your marriage till death do you part." American Christian culture doesn't make these decisions any easier, and often, the advice we receive from the pulpit isn't relevant to the real-world pain of abuse, loneliness, and brokenness.God has a lot more to say than "I hate divorce." He gives a standard and graciously restores and renews people even when that standard isn't met. The UnYoked Podcast is a safe place to wonder, ponder, relate, and consider your steps. We live in the tension between God's plan and the realities of living in a broken world. Buckle up, remove the mask, and let’s get real about discussing the ripple effects of divorce and how to survive being unYoked as a Christian.Support the show: If this resource is helpful, please subscribe, rate, and tell a friend.
