What the Bible Actually Says About Divorce | Michele Kus & Dr. Martin Trench

What does the Bible actually say about divorce — and how did so many churches get it wrong? Here in Part Two, Michele Kus and Dr. Martin Trench slow down and examine the biblical texts, Hebrew language, and cultural context around divorce. CONTENT WARNING: This episode includes discussion of divorce, marital harm, misogyny, sexual coercion, and harmful church teachings. Viewer discretion is advised. If this brings up difficult emotions, please seek appropriate support. ❤️ 👉 If you missed Part One, start here:    • Why the Church Gets Divorce So Wrong | Mic...   In Part Two of this two-part series on divorce, Michele and Martin move beyond naming the harm and do the careful work of biblical interpretation. Together, they examine: 📖 what the Bible actually addresses when it speaks about divorce 📖 the Hebrew word shalach (“to send away / put away”) 📖 the importance of the certificate of divorce as legal protection for women 📖 why Scripture condemns abandonment and neglect, not safety-seeking separation 📖 how cultural and historical context radically changes how divorce passages are understood This episode challenges the oversimplified idea from Malachi 2 that “God hates divorce” by showing what the text is actually addressing — injustice, harm, abandonment, neglect, and the misuse of covenant language to justify cruelty. Michele and Martin unpack how evangelical culture often: ❤️‍🩹 assumes bad motives instead of listening to lived experience ❤️‍🩹 ignores the Bible’s own flawed, complex human stories ❤️‍🩹 expects perfection rather than honesty ❤️‍🩹 pressures people into one-size-fits-all marriage narratives They remind listeners that Scripture itself speaks of God as one who understands broken covenant and divorce: “I gave faithless Israel her certificate of divorce and sent her away…” — Jeremiah 3:8 This is not an anti-Bible or anti-church episode. It is a pro-context, pro-compassion, pro-truth conversation. If Part One helped you feel seen, Part Two helps you understand why — and how to read Scripture in context without fear, shame, or coercion. If you’ve been through divorce and struggled to reconcile your experience with what the Bible says, or what your church people are telling you, this episode is definitely for you.
