Polygamy is a real but sin-laden marriage; the moral complexity for a polygamist who converts precludes a simple answer

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 2) 00:27:08 – 00:30:12

Q from Susan Morales following up on Mike's earlier video on whether a polygamist who becomes a Christian should divorce one or more wives.

Mike describes polygamy as a "scrambled egg" of marriage—it is a real marriage but one in which sin is constantly present because multiple marriage covenants coexist. He affirms polygamy is sin but resists a simplistic "just divorce them" solution, since that would break real marriage commitments. He refers listeners to his detailed video on the topic for the full answer. He struggles slightly with the exact wording of Susan's question.
