  • Ep. 31 - A Response to our Viral Tiktok

    So something crazy happened. We posted our 1st few videos on tiktok and one of them blew up! Apparently, people get all shook up when they hear you've remained married after a betrayal. Who knew?! The majority of the responses were so encouraging, but as usual, there were some who had strong opinions. So we decided to address those opinions on here instead of responding to them individually. Join us as we discuss some of these comments together in hopes that our hearts can be heard and there be an even greater understanding of what God can do in our most challenging seasons.

Scott needed deep counsel and accountability which put him on his face in the office of Tom Chamberlin. God clearly put Tom into Scotts path to help him navigate the road ahead. Scott and Tom have worked diligently together every week for the last 15 months and through their work together, Scott has overcome many obstacles of his life.
