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!
