The phrase "do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers" is commonly applied to Christian marriage, but that wasn't Paul's original intent. Seth and David explore the rich biblical background of this famous passage and show how Paul was actually warning the Corinthians against yoking themselves to false teachers who were leading them away from Jesus and his Gospel.

Yes, we did. We did an overview, man. A while ago. A year ago maybe? Yeah. Yeah. But we've been working through writing the devotionals for it and it just made us highlight a few cool things. Yeah. I was like, this would be fun to get you in here and just talk about it. So excited. So it's probably a little fresher in my mind right now. Because you're writing them.
