When a husband betrays his wife’s trust through sexual acting out, this can cause feelings of deep insecurity to arise in a wife – even to the point of feeling unsafe. In today’s episode, we will discuss the topic of emotional safety in marriage and why this is often befuddling to many husbands (and men in general) and offer a few ideas on how to create safer emotional spaces for the healing and restoration of marriages broken by sexual betrayal. (As a side note, this topic is helpful for any marriage!)This conversation was sparked by a conference Stephen went to by Focus on the Family. They built this topic around the book by authors Paul, Burbee, and Arnzen, entitled Restoring Hope: An Integrative Approach to Marital Therapy (link below).More Resources:Restoring Hope bookHope Restored Marriage IntensiveDoctorMarriage.orgRelated Podcasts:The Need for Boundaries After BetrayalHelping Men Understand a Woman's Grief ProcessHelping Couples Walk the Path of Restoration After Sexual Betrayal----------Please rate and review our podcast: Apple PodcastsSubscribe to our YouTube channel.

I’m so excited about today’s program. I have written a new book that was released this month. It is entitled Grace-Based Transformation: The 3-Stage Journey to Wholeness in Christ. In this episode, I share what Grace-Based Transformation is and why I wrote this book after 20 years of full-time ministry. It’s really the book I’ve always wanted to write. We will explore what I call the Transformation Pathway and highlight the three key stages on it: Heal -> Grow -> Share. These form the primary indicators of a Christian’s progress. So, if you would like greater freedom, deeper joy, and a more effective impact in your life, I invite you to listen in. To get the book, simply go to Amazon.com or any other online book distributor.

Betrayal in marriage is a trauma. Many wives have struggled to find healing because the help they have received simply didn’t address the trauma.Today’s guest is Laurie Bryson, a licensed professional counselor who specializes in betrayal trauma healing. She is also certified in Emotional Transformation Therapy (ETT) which goes beyond simply “talk therapy” in order to help clients experience deep healing from trauma and other emotional wounds. In our conversation, Laurie shares what ETT is and how it practically benefits her clients and additional ways to help betrayed wives discover breakthroughs that lead to deep and lasting healing. To learn more about Laurie and her practice, visit BrysonCounseling.com.

How did we get to where we are today when it comes to sexual brokenness, confusion, and outright rebellion against God’s design for sex?In this episode, our guest is Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse, who is the founder of the Ruth Institute, an interfaith international coalition to defend the family and build a Civilization of Love. Our conversation was inspired after I read Dr. Morse’s book, The Sexual State: How Elite Ideologies are Destroying Lives and Why the Church Was Right All Along. In this book, she provides a timeline that breaks down the sexual revolution into its component parts so that people can better understand how we have reached our current period and respond to it with grace and truth.Dr. Morse shares the three big ideas of the sexual revolution: The Contraceptive Ideology – Society should do everything possible to separate sex and babies. The Divorce Ideology – Society should do everything possible to separate both sex and babies from marriage. The Gender Ideology – Men and women are completely interchangeable; the “idea” of self is more important than the body.To learn more about Dr. Morse and her resources, visit RuthInstitute.org.

Pastors are regular men in a position of great responsibility. They are not immune to sexual temptations. How can the church help pastors recover from sexual sin and strongholds?In this episode, our guest is Robert Posner. Robert and his wife, Judy, are the founders of 2416 Ministries, a ministry based on Proverbs 24:16, which states, “Though a righteous man falls seven times, he will get up, but the wicked will stumble into ruin.” Robert shares his own story as a pastor who fell into sexual sin and his own journey of recovery and growth. We also talk about some of the unique challenges that pastors face due to their often isolated and elevated position. And what pastors can do to guard themselves against sexual misconduct, heal from sexual brokenness, and enter safe places for help in breaking free from sexual struggles and strongholds. To learn more about Robert and his ministry, visit 2416ministries.org.More Resources:1-on-1 MentoringGateway to Freedom workshopThe Christian Response to Moral Failure in Church LeadersRelated Podcasts:Becoming a Healing ChurchRestoring Broken Pastors for Kingdom UseA Hopeful Response to Church Leaders Struggling with Sexual Sin----------Please rate and review our podcast: Apple PodcastsSubscribe to our YouTube channel.
