What happens when Christians take each other to court… or when marriages fall apart long before anyone asks for help?

In this episode of Lead Time, Tim and Jack sit down with Christian attorney Colin Hoffman to unpack the reality of Christian family law, divorce, and what the Bible actually says about conflict between believers.

From 1 Corinthians 6 to real-life legal cases, this conversation dives into:

- Why Christians suing Christians is a serious issue
- What actually leads to divorce (and why it’s often “too late”)
- The role of pastors, counseling, and accountability
- Spiritual warfare in families (and how it shows up)
- How churches can better support struggling marriages
- A better path forward: reconciliation, repentance, and truth

This episode is both challenging and hopeful—a call for the Church to take marriage, conflict, and spiritual realities seriously again.

Do you think Christians should ever take each other to court?
