This installment delves into the deep, complex scenario surrounding Megyn Kelly's personal struggles with annulment, and sheds light on who holds the right to judge her marriage.

Just before Easter, Megan Kelly got real with her struggles and crisis of faith in the Catholic Church. Sixteen years ago, Kelly and her then-husband divorced and she remarried. As a result, she's been unable to participate in the sacraments since. She said the annulment process has caused her to grow further from God and the Church and questions if any man can get between her relationship with God.

While this discussion is emotionally complex, there are answers to Megan's question; Can a church place a moral judgement on her divorce and re-marriage? What gives them the right to decide if she can partake of the sacraments vital to the Christian faith (regardless of denomination)?

Does the Church have a Biblical responsiblity to intervene, and if so, why and how?

What is an annulement and are they even in Scripture?

A Christian marriage is a covenant between a husband, wife, and God. A covenant is the most serious of all relationships. How serious does God covenant breaking and does He allow room for forgiveness? What is the role of the Church in the process?

Let's dive into it and answer the question... Does any Christian leader, pastor, or priest have the right to question or judge a divorce and re-marriage and cause someone to question their faith?

You might be surprised at the answer!

This episode is a must-listen for those navigating personal struggles, seeking guidance, or aspiring to deepen their faith. Expect thought-provoking biblical references, a compassionate attitude towards individual struggles, and a respectful examination of the Church's role in believers' journeys of faith.

Have you ever thought about what love is, or is not for that matter? Satan has done a masterful job stealing the identity of untold millions of Americans and trapping them in a philosophy that says "love is love" and that everyone is "free to love whoever they like."

In this insightful episode, we delve deep into controversial realms by discussing the implications of the LGBTQ movement on the values and spiritual essence that form the crux of our society and Christianity. With an influential agenda dictated by Satan to wipe out God's existence from our society and our individual consciousness, we analyze how these actions are intrinsically linked to the LGBTQ movement, bearing substantial impacts on the church and the Christian community as a whole.

We kick-start this heart-to-heart conversation by looking at love in a new light - a universal sentiment that is appreciated yet often misconstrued. We dwell into the lesser-known sides of love that defy religious sanctity, zooming into cases where it could potentially lead to sinning and violating divine instructions.

As the discussion progresses, we expand on the concept of sanctity and the place of the LGBTQ+ community within the church. The critical call-to-action emphasised here is to reevaluate our interpretation of love as taught by the holy Bible, to prevent it from succumbing to Satan's cunning deceptions.

By citing examples from the Old Testament, we unveil common transgressions associated with love and relationships. We discuss how the natural inclination towards sexual gratification is manipulated by false deities and corrupt religious approaches, thereby undermining love and inciting rebellion against God. This unsettling phenomenon prevails today through the distorted vision of love promoted by the LGBTQ+ community, which immensely contributes in defacing God's image.

In closing, this podcast, Don urges listeners to reconsider their perception of love, its profound link to our faith, identity, and spiritual growth. We inspire you to combat the deceiving perversions of love and remain dedicated to the holy, sacred love God intended for us.

Unraveling love's profound misinterpretations increasingly growing in our world today, we take an aim at the ambiguous lines between natural love, as determined by God, and the rebellion propelling towards unnatural love. Through echoing truths from the sacred scriptures, our aim is to shed light on the ongoing conflict to preserve God's divine image in every human, amidst Satan's world system that aims to destroy it.

Through challenging the evolving narrative surrounding love, particularly regarding the LGBTQ+ community, we remind everyone that love was never intended by God to be a vaguely, permissive notion accepting everything. Reiterating that love in its purest form chooses to stand for truth, reject evil, and inspires us to resonate with the holiness and righteousness reflecting the nature of our God.

Finally, we offer assurance for those caught in the destructive cycle of worldly love, reminding them that they are not alone and there is hope. True love is transformative; it brings about inner changes that ignite peace, hope, and comfort. Inspiring our listeners to join others on this journey of seeking God's kingdom and to renounce their own desires, we end on a hopeful note, encouraging everyone to take up Jesus's cross and follow Him with love, devotion, and affirmation.

As Christians, we are part of a battle against good and evil as the Apostle Paul talks about in Ephesians 6. That means we live by a different set of ethics and rules than the rest of the world as we battle through spiritual warfare and gain spiritual discipline in our struggle against the rulers, powers, and world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12).

When I was in the Navy and Army, I often heard senior enlisted and officers use this word often... "Go on." It was often in the context of someone sharing something difficult or emotional. It conveyed a sense that we are in this together and we have one another's back... So, don't hold back. That's just the opposite in the civilian world when someone says, "It's okay." Meaning stop talking or sharing your feelings politely because it's making me uncomfortable. I don't really care, or how does this effect me?

Believe it or not, there are a number of parallels between military service and the Church. There are core values inherent in both such as the family, community, respect, sacrifice, and unity. There are also strong contrasts with the culture around us that run contrary to Biblical ethics such as rugged individualism that tempt Christians into sacrificing others instead of for others.

I highlight various attributes the Church can learn from the military: importance of community, camaraderie, and mutual encouragement. I also emphasize the role of teamwork, and how making communal bonds stronger than individualism can eventually lead to more fruitful outcomes for the believer and the Church. Drawing from the Apostle Paul's portrayal of the Church, I ask listeners to view their communities as a unified team.

This episode also taps into the crucial role communal support and perseverance play during times of adversity; qualities that should be inherent within Church congregations. The podcast ends by suggesting Christians, in their journey to righteousness, are like soldiers in God’s spiritual army, relentlessly resisting societal and personal tribulations.

Continuing the military metaphor, let's explore how sacrifice, respect, and unity found in military life can be utilized to fortify the Christian community. We underline the significance of learning our spiritual lessons, understanding they are symbols of our growth and devotion to Christ. We further reiterate the Christianity being not just a Sunday affair but a lifestyle to be observed every day of the week.

Join me as I challenge us to embrace our role within God's heavenly army. As soldiers of Christ, let's rise together in His love and power, equipped with the full armor of God. Stay tuned for our future episodes in this series embracing the spiritual battlefield.
