This episode responds to a public claim by a pastor who says he is married to two women and argues the Bible allows polygamy. It examines the debate and explains why Scripture presents marriage as a union between one man and one woman.Drawing on Genesis, Jesus' teaching in Matthew, Old Testament examples, and New Testament instructions from Paul and Peter, the episode shows that God's design from the beginning is lifelong, monogamous marriage. Historical instances of polygamy in the Bible are treated as descriptive, not prescriptive, and are shown to produce family conflict and spiritual harm.The conclusion: the Bible does not endorse polygamy, and those who promote or practice it contradict the clear witness of Scripture. Listeners are urged to hold to the biblical design for marriage and to be cautious of leaders who teach otherwise.

This episode examines the hotly debated role of women in the church, contrasting extreme egalitarian and patriarchal positions and calling listeners back to Scripture as the final authority for defining roles and responsibilities.Drawing from Genesis, the Judges, Isaiah, and New Testament passages (1 Tim. 2; Titus 2; Eph. 4), the discussion explains how the Fall affected gender relations, why church leadership offices are biblically qualified for men, and yet how God still equips women with gifts for testimony, evangelism, teaching (especially of other women), discipleship, and service—illustrated by examples like Deborah, Jael, Priscilla, and the women who first witnessed the Resurrection.The episode urges churches to encourage and steward women’s voices humbly and biblically: neither silencing nor elevating them beyond Scripture’s order, but using their gifts to glorify Christ and edify the body while maintaining godly structure and mutual submission.

In this audio blog episode, we explore the unique position of the Christian as a dual citizen of Heaven and Earth.
