Hey, y'all! Wow, it has been a hot minute since we have been able to record!

How many of us are affected by a story of sexual brokenness?
How many of us feel lost and isolated in our shame?
How many of us feel disconnected from community and are tempted to feel hopeless? 

In this podcast, we share the stats of sexual brokenness and the mission God has called us to. We invite YOU to be a part of the movement and ask if you would pray about partnering with us to reclaim enemy territory. Toda...

Why do parents avoid talking to their kids about sex? John Fort says it comes down to four primary reasons:

1. It will strain my relationship with my kid.
2. I might ruin my child’s innocence.
3. My kid will find out about my past.
4. It will be too much work.

John shares resources and insights to help us navigate these fears and use our mistakes and sexual brokenness to build a bridge with our children. What we can view as a barrier is ac...

Today's podcast is with Josh Glaser, Executive Director of Regeneration Ministries.

While at a conference in St. Louis, I got the privilege to interview Linda Noble and Linda Stewart from The Conversation Workshop. In this episode, they share how understanding the meaning behind God's design of our body can bring us closer to Jesus and reveal a  new perspective on our biology.  

In a season of distress and depression, Linda Noble shares how God flipped the script and led her to experience Himself in a way she ...

Unfortunately, we were taught, “if you just have consistent sex, he  won’t desire or use pornography.” But if that were the case, we wouldn’t be here today leading Restored 2 More Inc.  We know first-hand how painful it is to act on a perspective that isn’t rooted in truth or that comes from a loving but uneducated person. 

In this episode, Clinton gets super raw and real about how he struggled after we were sexually intim...

Roane and Eva Hunter are sexual wholeness missionaries. Yes, they are board-certified licensed professional counselors and certified sex addiction therapists, authors, speakers, and teachers, but their heart for Jesus has inspired it all.  After reading their newest book, Sex, God, and the Chaos of Betrayal, Charity and  I were excited to have them be on the podcast to discuss the book further. Today they educate us on other trauma...

One day Clinton looked depressed after his therapy appointment. He was sad and had a distant look in his eyes. I asked him what was wrong, and his response made me feel confused, disturbed, and disgusted. His answer created a pit in my stomach, but something inside told me to ask questions and be curious instead of condemning and criticizing him. 

“I miss pornography,” he said.  “I’m grieving the relationship I’ve had with porn and ...

After years of pain, trauma, manipulation, and addiction, Adelle lost hope. Just at their breaking point, Travis went on a men's retreat and had a mountain-top experience with  Jesus enabling him to confront his fears and take steps towards honesty and healing. Unfortunately, Travis was advised to blanket the details of his infidelity and left out major factors that later came to the light and left Adelle again devastated and ...

If you're like Charity, perhaps you've been angry that you now need to omit secular tv shows and movies that have content that could trigger your spouses. For a time, she asked,  "why do we have to suffer and miss out on the fun of the latest TV binge-worthy series?"  Today we talk about what we choose to watch and why and the difference between everything being lawful but not everything being helpful.

In this episode, we interview Amanda and Katie, the founders of The Victory Collective. Together they have started a platform to share their story and normalize the struggle of pornography among girls and women. They are powerfully reaching a younger generation by giving them a voice and platform where they can be seen and loved amid a struggle that binds so many girls in isolation, guilt, and shame. 

We got a chance to dive into th...

Our favorite one-liners:

“Trust is not a gift to be given, but  is a responsibility to be earned.”
“Healthy people make healthy relationships.”
“What’s happening in the present is normally rooted in the past.”
“Admitting our brokenness to our spouse is the first step in moving towards intimacy.”

Today we had the incredible opportunity to interview Debra Fileta, a licensed professional counselor, author, relational expert,...

What is a trigger? What can I do when I am triggered? How can I support my spouse when they are triggered?

Today we discuss triggers and how healthily handling them can lead to restoration. At the beginning of our healing process, triggers overwhelmed us and sent us spiraling and fighting, leaving us confused and disconnected. We found that we can react four different ways to triggers: suppress them, medicate them, unhealthily let t...

How can we proactively prepare our kids for an over-sexualized culture? How can we protect them from the damaging effects of pornography?

Today we have the privilege to share our interview with Kristen Jenson, who answers these questions and shares her wisdom on these ...

If fear is not displaced by grace, it will ultimately ruin our lives. Before anything else, grace is relational, meaning we have to experience grace to understand it. 

Today we get an in-depth look at the meaning and power of grace. What does it mean, and how have misguided teachings distorted and diluted its message? Ed Khouri has been in the field of addiction and recovery for over 40 years. He has authored numerous books and toda...
