The Bible Project Daily Podcast Being Unequally Yoked - In Marriage. (2 Cor 6.14-7.3)
Episode Notes.
In this episode of The Bible Project Daily Podcast, we continue our exploration of Paul’s teaching on being “unequally yoked.” Having considered the wider spiritual principle in Part 1, we now turn to one of its most personal applications: marriage.
Paul’s image of the yoke — two animals pulling together in the same direction — is a vivid picture of the unity required in marriage. When husband and wife are not united in Christ, the strain on both the relationship and spiritual life can be immense. Yet Paul’s words are not meant to condemn, but to protect, encourage, and call us to lives marked by holiness and hope.
Key Points:
Why Paul uses the metaphor of the yoke to describe relationships.
The unique challenges of marriages where one partner is not a believer.
The call to holiness and separation — not isolation, but dedication to God.
How to seek God’s wisdom, grace, and patience in marriage and family life.
Takeaway:
Being yoked with Christ means walking in step with Him. In marriage, as in all of life, Paul calls us to relationships that strengthen our faith and glorify God.
