The Need for Boundaries After Betrayal

Boundaries are essential after betrayal, but few have any experience of knowing what boundaries to set and how to set them. In this episode, Tammy Gustafson helps us navigate this delicate but necessary topic. Tammy is a licensed counselor who is passionate about helping women recover from trauma, PTSD, and betrayal.  Boundaries are more than just drawing lines and enforcing consequences when they are crossed. They are about safety, responsibility, self-care, and the building (or rebuilding) of healthy relationships.  To learn more about Tammy and her resources, visit BetrayalHealing.com http://BetrayalHealing.com.

The Stopwatch Acting Out Cycle

Addiction can be simply defined as a repeated cycle of unhealthy or harmful behaviors that gets worse over time. In order to break free from addiction, recovery must include understanding this cycle and how to respond differently to its triggers. Today’s guest is Vern Tompke, a 30-year pastor, podcaster, and founder of Band of Brothers, a community of men helping men find freedom from unwanted sexual behaviors. Vern has developed what he calls the Stopwatch Acting Out Cycle as a tool for helping men understand their addictive cycle and how to respond more quickly when tempted to go down old paths of self-destructive behaviors.  To learn more about Vern and his resources, visit BandofBrothers.care http://BandofBrothers.care or Vern's Podcasts https://www.bandofbrothers.care/pastors-podcast.

How Do You Know if You are Changing?

There is an old saying used in Alcoholics Anonymous, “If nothing changes, nothing changes.” Also, you may have heard of a simple statement to describe insanity: “Doing the same thing over and over, but expecting a different outcome.” If you want to be free from destructive and unhealthy patterns in your life, change must happen. But how can you know if change is actually occurring?  In today’s episode, Stephen and I will unpack some core principles and practices that will indicate if true change is happening.

The Noble Marriage with Travis and Adelle

In the best of circumstances, marriage is hard work. But when a couple has histories of brokenness and unresolved pain, it’s even more challenging.  Today’s guests are Travis and Adelle Graham, founders of The Noble Marriage, a ministry dedicated to helping struggling marriages discover true intimacy.  Travis and Adelle share their broken pasts (even though raised in Christian homes) and how that affected their marriage; how it led them both to build false images about themselves and their relationship. Eventually, their masks were removed in favor of pursuing an authentic relationship with Christ and each other. This is their story and a message of hope for couples wondering if their struggling relationship can be redeemed.  To learn more about Travis and Adelle and their marriage resources, visit TheNobleMarriage.com http://TheNobleMarriage.com.

From Jew to Atheist to Sex Addict to Freedom in Christ

We all have a story. And stories are one of the things we value greatly in our ministry. Why? Because it is through our stories that we connect and discover and learn. Today’s guest is Neil Getzlow and he has quite a story to tell. He was raised in a Jewish home but eventually left his family tradition in preference of atheism. Along the way, he developed a porn and sex addiction, which made him miserable. Eventually, God chased him down and invited him to stop running and instead find rest and freedom in Christ.  Neil shares his experience of needing to learn how to be alone as a kid, how he was introduced to porn, the effect of his parent’s divorce, and how he came to believe that love and sex were basically the same things. He also shares the radical way in which God broke him out of his secret addiction and led him to a place of truth, grace, and hope.

Moving from Being Fear-Driven to Love-Driven

Everyone has a core fear that gets woven into their soul from childhood. It tends to drive everything, from thoughts to behaviors.  But God created us in His image, and He is love. His Word tells us that “perfect (mature) love drives out fear.” (1 John 4:18) So, how can we move from being fear-driven to being love-driven? In this episode, we unpack this question and provide insights and tips to understand your fears and respond to them in healthy, redemptive ways that benefit you and your relationships.

Porn is not victimless. In other words, porn use has consequences that negatively impact the viewer.  This may seem obvious, especially to those who have developed an addiction to porn.
