What was said

""I'll never forget my preacher telling me I was going to hell. Really? Yes. That doesn't feel good.""

Terry Bradshaw says that after his first divorce a preacher told him he was “going to hell”, and that he did not return to that church. He adds that, based on his own reading of scripture, he did not believe divorce meant he was beyond forgiveness, while still describing himself as ashamed of being divorced three times.
