Let's Talk About Polygamy in Marriage... | S3E48 BEYOND I DO PODCAST

November 12, 2026 · 53 min

Can a Christian biblically have more than one wife?In this episode of Beyond I Do, Adam and Ashley respond to the viral story of a pastor publicly announcing that he has taken a second wife.But instead of only reacting to the controversy, they dig into the bigger question:What does the Bible actually teach about marriage?They talk about polygamy in Scripture, why simply finding examples of something in the Bible does not automatically mean God approves of it, and the danger of using isolated passages to justify what we already want.The conversation also gets into spiritual authority and what happens when a pastor, leader, or mentor uses influence, biblical knowledge, or position to blur boundaries with someone they are supposed to be shepherding.Because this is bigger than one viral story.It is about whether marriage is still sacred.Whether covenant still means something.And whether we are willing to submit our desires to Scripture instead of reshaping Scripture around our desires.Marriage is not just about what makes us happy.It is sacred.It is sacrificial.And it is a covenant before God.--How do you steward the gifts of God?
