In this episode, we are honored to interview Michael and Hailey, a couple we met at the Restored 2 More Restoration Celebration in Eagle, Idaho, and now have the privilege of walking alongside in Course 1. Michael and Hailey share their powerful story of betrayal, anger, addiction, and ultimately, the life-changing power of surrender.
Michael opens up about his hidden battle with pornography, identity struggles rooted in performance, and the turning point when secrecy gave way to honesty. Hailey vulnerably shares what it felt like to live in confusion, shame, and deep bitterness—not just toward Michael, but even toward God.
This episode is a powerful testimony of what happens when both partners reach the end of themselves and allow Jesus to do what only He can do. We talk about emotional intimacy, the danger of compartmentalization, learning how to feel again, and how anger—when processed with God—can become a gateway to healing.
Stories like this remind us that hope is real and restoration is possible. We pray this episode encourages you and inspires you to keep pressing into Jesus as He leads you through your own healing journey.
Thanks for Listening! We hope this episode brings honesty, perspective, and hope right where you are!
Give to empower more marriages and families to experience restoration!

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
