The statistics on pornography are staggering—some report that one in five people view it weekly—leaving behind a hidden heartache that few are willing to talk about. For Jody Allen, author of Hidden Heartache: Finding Courage When Your Husband Struggles with Pornography, that heartache became a deeply personal reality.

In this conversation, Jody shares how she walked through shock, anger, and grief when her husband’s secret came to light—and how God met her in the middle of the mess.

Instead of staying silent, Jody chose to speak up so that other women would know they’re not the only ones facing this hidden battle.

Her story is raw and redemptive, showing that grace is strong enough for even the most broken stories—and that Jesus, the true Problem Solver, can bring beauty from betrayal.

Jody is an author, speaker, and women's ministry leader who isn't afraid to talk about hard realities.

“While we need to acknowledge our feelings, we can't let them be the drivers of how we manage our lives.”

Ezekiel 36:26 "And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart."

Luke 8:43-48 (The Story of the Bleeding Woman)
