Tools to engage people of other faiths with the truth, goodness and beauty of the Gospel of Jesus Christ

Marriage & Divorce

Click here to see video on my talk on Divorce.

Divorce has become the new normal for Western societies. In this video Steve Whigham discusses the cultural trends that are creating rising divorce rates and how we, as Christians, can better deal with these realities.

Many churches are ill-equipped to deal with couple considering divorce and are equally ill-equipped to help those suffering from divorce. This discussion gives us some things to contemplate in oder to help with this growing problem.
