Can Christians in a spiritually mismatched marriage preserve their union while keeping a clear conscience before God?
In this episode, Holly explores the tension that occurs in marriages when one spouse is part of the New Apostolic Reformation and the other is not.
She unpacks what a "spiritual mismatch" is through 1 Corinthians 7, where Paul instructs believers who are married to an unbeliever, and she shows how his advice can also apply to those believers who are married to someone in NAR. She also examines conscience and authority through Acts 5:29 and the examples of Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego, and Daniel, concluding that obedience to God comes before human authority, and that marriage vows never require participating in false teaching.
In this episode, you'll learn:
* What a spiritual mismatch is and its implications in a marriage.
* What to do if you are in a mismatched marriage, based on 1 Corinthians 7:12-16 and Acts 5:29.
* How Acts 5:29 warns against joining others in disobedience to God.
* How to handle the tough issues arising from a spiritually mismatched marriage.
* The importance of keeping your conscience clean before God.
