Summary
When Jesus introduced the new blueprint for marriage—no divorce, total monogamy—it stunned the Apostles. His vision was bold, uncompromising, and utterly countercultural. But with the power of the Holy Spirit, it’s not only possible—it’s transformational.
Enter Father Josiah Trenham: Orthodox pastor, husband of 37 years, and father of ten. In this episode, he unpacks the divine design for marriage—why it’s essential for civilization and for sanctifying your soul. You’ll walk away challenged, inspired, and ready to see marriage as a holy mission with eternal impact.
