HopeCast- EP 40 - Husband To One Wife
September 29, 2026 • Dr. Allen McClure
In this episode of HOPECAST, Dr. Allen McClure takes a closer look at the biblical requirement that an elder be the “husband of one wife” and explains why this phrase is often misunderstood.
Does it simply mean an elder must be married? Is Paul primarily addressing divorce and remarriage? Or is the emphasis on a man’s character, faithfulness, and devotion to his wife?
Dr. McClure walks through the biblical context of this qualification, clears up some common misconceptions, and explains how churches can approach this passage carefully and faithfully without reading more into the text than Scripture actually says.
If you’ve ever wondered what “husband of one wife” really means when evaluating pastors and elders, this episode offers a thoughtful biblical perspective.
