Christian Divorce & Remarriage: Why Legalism is Killing Your Soul

Are you fighting to save a marriage while your soul is slowly dying? In this episode of From the Ruins, Michael Criswell dives into the uncomfortable truth that the modern church often ignores: the obsession with "divorce doctrine" has become a form of legalism that values the institution of marriage more than the spiritual life of the individual. If you’ve felt the crushing weight of religious shame or been told you must stay with a "boat anchor" spouse at all costs, this message is the life raft you’ve been looking for. In This Episode, We Discuss: The Gnat vs. The Camel: Why there are 7,900+ verses in the New Covenant, yet the church focuses almost exclusively on the 10 verses about divorce. The 3 Biblical Grounds for Divorce: A deep look at death, adultery (including the spiritual reality of pornography), and abandonment. 1 Corinthians 7:15 Explained: What it truly means when an unbelieving spouse leaves and why the "believing brother or sister is not bound." Saving a Marriage vs. Losing a Soul: The sobering reality of people who "saved" their marriage through compromise but lost their connection to Christ. Tares vs. Wheat: Why God may be removing a "spiritually dead" person from your life to protect your calling. The New Covenant Perspective: Shifting from the "letter of the law" that kills to the Spirit of Christ that brings life and peace. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking Christian divorce advice, navigating an unequally yoked marriage, or looking for biblical grounds for divorce. We tackle the hard questions about remarriage after divorce, healing from a toxic marriage, and how to hear God’s voice when religious tradition is screaming in your ear.

The Danger of the "Cold Pillow": Waiting on God After Divorce

Feeling the loneliness of a cold pillow after a broken marriage? Michael Chriswell offers raw Christian divorce recovery advice for those healing. In this episode of From the Ruins, we dive into the "excruciating silence" that follows the end of a toxic marriage. Michael addresses a common trap for divorced Christians: the temptation to "rush back to Egypt" by jumping into a new relationship to escape the pain of an unequally yoked spouse leaving. Drawing from his own journey of surviving two failed marriages and spousal apostasy, Michael explains how to become a "prisoner of hope." You will learn how to: Hear God’s voice in the midst of heartbreak. Distinguish between fleshly desire and supernatural grace. Find true contentment in Christ while waiting for your "resurrection season." Navigate the "pickings are slim" reality of modern dating with biblical wisdom. If you are struggling to let go of an ex or wondering if you will ever be comforted again, this message is a reminder that God’s "No" or "Not yet" is often His greatest protection.
