Would God tell me it’s time for a divorce?

In this episode, Matthew Richardson shares the raw and personal story of how God guided him step by step through the most painful chapter of his life—his marriage and eventual divorce.What began with undeniable revelation to marry became a marriage filled with instability, abuse on both sides, and years of pleading with God for direction. Time after time, he felt prompted to keep trying, to endure, and to stay. Until one day, in scripture and prayer, the Lord gave him a new commandment: it was time to leave.Through weeks of wrestling in prayer, confirmation after confirmation came powerful, undeniable answers that brought both heartbreak and peace. Even when others told him he had misunderstood God, he could not deny what the Spirit had spoken.This story isn’t just about divorce. It’s about learning that God’s will can change, that He is merciful enough to guide us not just into commitments, but out of bondage. It’s about the patience of revelation, the cost of obedience, and the assurance that God walks with us even when the path feels impossible.If you’ve ever wondered whether God sees your suffering, questioned if He would really speak into your situation, or feared that you were stuck forever—this one is for you.Topics covered:The revelation to marry despite red flagsEarly marriage struggles and years of seeking guidanceGod’s clear commandment to “stay” even in difficultyThe shocking scripture that revealed it was time to goWrestling with doubt, seeking confirmation, and receiving undeniable answersFacing outside voices versus trusting God’s personal revelationThe hope that God will guide us step by step, even into endingsShare this episode with someone who needs to be reminded:You are not forgotten.You are not alone.And your story isn’t over.
