Why do some preachers preach that we, as Christians, are “broken?” We indeed were born with a “broken” old nature, but when we got born again, we received a new nature because of Jesus Christ!  Should we focus on who we were, rather than who we are now? Absolutely not! (4:42)

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
