Episode Summary:

In biblical times, lepers were cast out, shunned, and treated as untouchable. In today’s church, do divorced Christians experience something similar? In this episode, we dive into Scripture, history, and personal experience to uncover the parallels between leprosy and the stigma of divorce in Christian communities.

Through Mark 1:40-45, we see Jesus’ compassion as He reached out and healed a leper—restoring not just his body but his place in society. If you’ve felt isolated, judged, or discarded after your divorce, this message is for you. We’ll break the stigma, uncover biblical truth, and remind you that divorce is not your identity.

Key Takeaways:

• Biblical leprosy and modern divorce stigma share striking similarities.
• Jesus didn’t shy away from the leper, and He doesn’t shy away from you.
• The church must shift from judgment to healing, just as Jesus did.
• Divorce is not a life sentence of shame—it is a chapter, not your whole story.

Scripture References: 📖 Mark 1:40-45 – Jesus Cleanses a Leper 📖 Luke 17:12-19 – The Ten Lepers

A Final Encouragement: If you’ve ever felt discarded by the church after divorce, remember: You are not unclean. You are seen, loved, and redeemed. Your faith in a healing Savior will make you whole again.
