Intimacy After Infidelity | Cut Contact, Rebuild Trust, Shed Shame, Avoid Divorce, Forgiveness for Adultery

I was super convicted this week about a situation I should have been covering in prayer. But instead, I found myself passive, saying, "God knows my heart, and He'll work however He wants!" Woah!

So today I'm diving into what makes makes us apathetic and flat-line in our prayer life, along with some suggestions for a refresh. 

God answers prayer! And your prayer life, or lack of, is evidence of your belief. Join me in upping your prayer game, sister!

I pray you experience the love of Christ today!

Hey friend,

Do you ever feel stuck in a rut spiritually? We all do. Maybe it's a dry season. Or God feels especially quiet. Or you're trying to rebuild your relationship from the ground up. So where do you start??

Let me tell you about 3 life-giving habits that I'm growing in and how they'll help you, too. Maybe you've heard of one or two, but commiting to all 3 of these is a powerhouse to focusing on your rebuiding your relationship with God. You want to improve a relationship? It takes time and intentionality. Which one can you work on this week? 

I pray you experience the love of Christ today!

Sister,

Do you ever read the Bible and think, "Yes! That's so me!" Or the opposite, "There is NO way I could do that!"

You may fall in one of those two camps today as we look at Psalm 105:1. Maybe you're ready to "Let the whole world know what God has done," or maybe you're still wondering when God is going to show up in your story. Either way, this verse has 3 commands that apply to all of us. And I'd love to hear your takeaway, too!

I pray you experience the love of Christ today!

Episode 8 on Lamenting

Episode 6 and the SPIES acronym

Friend,

Did you remember there's a war going on all around us? Satan is out for your family, your attention, and any part of your life he can get. But the good news is- you are not alone! Habakkuk wrote a book in the Bible about his conversation with God when his country was at war. And God told him it was about to go from bad to worse!

But isn't our God good- He wove hope into the entire conversation along with reminders of truth about who He was and is. So if your situation feels so bleak and discouraging right now, grab your Bible and find Habakkuk- God has a word for you today!

I pray you experience the love of Christ today!

Hey Sister-Friend,

When was the last time you checked your phone settings and saw the amount of time you spend on social media? Does that number shock you? Have you ever thought about how much social media takes from your life- time, energy, attention? Intimacy?

Let's get real, and really honest, about the potential threats that social media plays in our lives today. It's time to get serious about what we let into our homes, our lives, and our hearts. And if you've been considering laying down your social apps at Jesus's feet- I'm right there with ya!

I pray you experience the love of Christ today!

Hey Friend,

Have you ever searched for the "definition of cognitive dissonance"? I hadn't either- until I learned that was the phrase I needed in order to explain this terrible feeling I had. The things I preached, the values I held to, the Bible stories I believed in- none of it lined up with how I was choosing to live my life during my affair.

So today I break it down for you: What is it, how do you know if you have it, and how do you get out of it?! I'd love to hear your thoughts after the show!

I pray you experience the love of Christ today!

Hey Friend,

Do you find yourself fresh out of a confession about an affair? Are you overwhelmed with what you should be doing now? Everybody you might talk to has a different opinion, or maybe you don't feel safe talking to anybody! (And I don't blame you!)

Here I talk about the 3 things I did immediately that helped in our healing journey. These things anchored me, grounded us, and were critical to our emotional health and healing.

I pray you experience the love of Christ today!

Friend,

Growing up I claimed, I hate emotions! Silly contradiction, right? Well it played out in my life and marriage when I began to observe HE (hear, WE!) are emotionally immature and it's really impacting our intimacy, communication, and married life!

I'd love to save you the trouble of staying immature and never growing, so I'm here to share 3 specific things we're doing to grow personally and together. These are ways we are emotionally growing, healing, and thriving. I can't wait to hear what your next step is!

I pray you experience the love of Christ today!

Hey Friend,

I was told once, "You can't be upset at the results you don't have because of the work you didn't do." Wow! Although that advice was about business, I immediately saw the appliction to my life and marriage. So when you look at your life today, are you happy with where things are? Or do you wish things could be different? What work are you willing to put in to make the change?

Today, let's talk about what results you want in your marriage. And let's learn what actions, feelings, and thoughts you need in order to get there! I learned this Self-Coaching Model from Brooke Castillo, and it radically changed my thinking about what I'm responsible for. I can't wait to share it with you!

I pray you experience the love of Christ today!
