Welcome to episode #167! This week, Matt and Braden talk with Dr. Kim Kimberling about narcissism. Are you married to a narcissist?

What is narcissism?

We can all be a little narcissistic in our behavior: being selfish and wanting our own way. But a narcissist takes it to the extreme: excessive interest and admiration of themselves, very selfish, physical appearance is important, sense of entitlement, lack of empathy, a strong need for affirmation and to be admired by people. It becomes a lifestyle. It’s damaging because it's all about them and no one else. 

What is the tie between addiction and narcissism?

Narcissists are focused on their own satisfaction. Their sexual desire is a “personal right”. They’ll use manipulation and can exploit their spouse. There's a study that came out that said that people who use pornography have a higher level of narcissism than those who never used it because it is very selfish - it's all about the person and them getting their own satisfaction. It feeds the narcissist. Pornography is a very selfish view of sex and a narcissist has more potential to become deeply entrenched in their belief system as their needs are being met in this unhealthy way. 

How do we know if we are married to a narcissist?

Marriage is about teamwork and a narcissist will focus on themselves and not care about their spouse. They will often put down or discredit their spouse and lead others to think that there is something wrong with them. They might use their spouse as a scapegoat. There’s no guilt or shame about what they are doing; there’s a lack of empathy. Any relationship you value needs to have empathy, you need to care about each other and be able to put yourself in their shoes. The struggle is that most narcissists think that there is nothing wrong, so why would they look to change? In order to overcome being a narcissist, you need to look inside. It's a heart issue. If you are married to someone like this, you need to make sure that you are surrounded by community who support you and will stand up for you. Remember: your worth and identity come from what God says about you, not your spouse.

Welcome to episode #166! This week, Matt and Braden talk about purity. What is purity? Why does it matter for us? 

Purity is more than just sexual. 

Purity is more than just behavior. We need to be pure in our motives and in our language; we need to be honest and have integrity. The indicator of impurity is the behavior, but having the impurity out of our life is not just the behavior. You can be free from the sin, but still have a messed up or have impurities in your heart. God wants your heart. He wants to give you purity, love and fulfillment through him. “Cleanse your hands and purify your heart.” Get rid of the behavior, but also purify your heart. 

Behavior modification - you need an inward change to have an outward change. 

When we focus only on the outward, we become very performance driven. We can be outwardly looking pure, but not pure on the inside. Jesus called out the Pharisees for appearing like “whitewashed tombs” - outwardly appearing a certain way, but inside they were still full of death. We are made pure only by what Jesus has done for us on the cross. When we receive that, we take it in and our outward behavior begins to reveal that inward reality. Draw to Jesus, and allow him to change your heart. 

Impurity is not just sin - it is anything out of alignment with what God says. 

If we are carrying guilt, shame or insecurity that he doesn’t want us to carry, that's an impurity that hinders what we can do for the kingdom of God. We need to humble ourselves and receive God’s opinion about us. When we receive that opinion, we receive His grace and when we receive his grace, we are able to walk in it. That is where we start walking in the purity that God has for us. Even though we have sinned and screwed up, we can still receive what God has for us. We can live out of the truth of what Jesus did for us on the cross.

Welcome to episode #165! This week, Matt and Braden talk with Justin Roethlingshoefer about the importance of holistic health. 

A Holistic Approach To Your Life & Health

Holistically integrated health isn’t just physical - how fit we are, how we’re eating or sleeping, etc. Holistic means all. Integrated means to bring together, to make complete. Health is the mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional condition of a human being. To heal is the same definition as integrated: to bring together, to make complete. We’re treating our health in disintegrated ways - treating each pillar of health separately and then our holistic health disintegrates and we wonder why. You can’t dissociate mental, physical, spiritual and emotional health, we have to address them all as one and then you’ll begin to heal. 

A Bottom Up Approach vs A Top Down Approach. 

The world tells us to operate with body first, then heart, then mind, then spirit. We are utilizing willpower alone to say “no” to various temptations until eventually we will succumb and fall off track. When we take a physical body approach first, it starts to poison our hearts. It causes fear, anxiety, depression, etc. It continues to dissociate the mind and thus, disconnects us from our spirit. We need to flip and start with the spiritual connection: what are we called to do, meant to go, seeking God & the desires He’s put into your heart. Then, it renews the mind. It moves the fear, anxiety and depression you’ve been battling and purifies your heart. It allows confidence and joy and that dictates what happens physically (your habits, behaviors and lifestyles). It gives you the staying power to stand firm and stay on the path that leads to true health. It creates a long term solution. The addiction won’t be fully overcome until we figure out the spiritual, mental, emotional and physical order. 

Slow is Smooth and Smooth is Fast

SLOW: we need to be Silent, so we can Listen, so we can be Obedient to generate Wisdom.

If we aren’t willing to be silent, and hear what God is saying to us, we don’t give ourselves the opportunity to be obedient. Chaos and background noise drown out what God is trying to say. God doesn’t have a talking problem, we have a listening problem. If we don’t have the opportunity to be obedient, the best chance to succeed that we have is 50/50. We need to be still and silent to have the opportunity to listen and with that to hear and be obedient. 

8 Controllables and action steps that you can lean into: Exercise, sleep, nutrition, mindset, hydration, Self care, immune function and environment. These habits and behaviors help balance your heart rate variability and give you the awareness to be stress resilient.

Welcome to episode #164! This week, Matt and Braden chat with former NASCAR driver, Andy Ponstein. Andy talks about his life, battling addiction to pornography, and how with God's help his life was changed.

Andy relates addiction to when he would watch other drivers on the track.

When you are the one watching the other drivers, you can see how fast they are going; but when you’re driving the car, it doesn’t feel that fast. Until you crash, you don’t feel the speed at which you’re going. Seeing someone battling an addiction, it’s extreme to everyone around as they can see the reality of what the addict is doing/going through. However, when you’re in it, you don’t really realize how far gone you might be. 

Hiddenness is how the devil likes to trap us. 

Don’t allow yourself to be isolated. We get caught in lies thinking that we are alone or that we aren’t hurting anyone, and that even if everything is found out, I’ll be okay and anyone else affected will be okay. If you don’t value yourself, it can be easy to believe the lie that others don’t value you either. We have to combat the lies with the truth - God says you do have value to him and you do have value to those around you. God loves us too much to let us sit in the darkness. When sin stays in darkness it grows and festers and gets worse. When sin is brought to light, it loses power. God leads us on a journey to break free from those lies and darkness that sin and addiction try to trap us into. 

The Bloody Club: 

Everytime we do something wrong, we mentally smack ourselves on the head with a club. 

We don’t accept the goodness, grace and forgiveness of God. If we fully walk in His grace, we would accept what he offers to us. It can be a process to accept God’s grace and forgiveness. We have to go to God with our bloody club and put it at the foot of the cross. We have to acknowledge everything to God and surrender those parts that we beat ourselves up over so that we can begin that journey of accepting his forgiveness and grace.

Welcome to episode #163! This week, Matt and Braden talk about having sex versus making love. Is it the same thing? Is it not? Tune in to see what the guys have to say!

There can be a difference between simply having sex and making love the way God designed. 

Sex as a broader cultural term is just a physical act or point of contact with another. It’s self-focused, about my pleasure and using another to get your “need” met. Whereas making love is a fuller picture of what God designed for us to have in marriage with our spouses -  there is vulnerability that leads to a greater intimacy as you know this one person and are fully known by them over a lifetime. There is commitment and security, and it is about focusing on another, not myself. 

There are different motives behind each act. 

The motive behind making love is connection - a deep connection with our spouse. There are emotional and spiritual connections; to love is to lay our lives down for the sake of another. Our motive for sex is to get pleasure, focused on our own desire for orgasm. When we are focused on our own pleasure, we can be ignorant to the pain we might cause our spouse by ignoring what they want.

Making love is about mutuality. 

One person's pleasure does not supersede another's pain. Women are told it is their duty to fulfill their husbands’ needs regardless of their feelings or if they’re not being treated well. This leads to guilt and shame and they think they are not good wives. When in reality, there needs to be mutuality - you both need to enjoy it. There needs to be vulnerability, safety, security and love. Love does not demand, it serves. It goes beyond the act and the orgasm. Make sure you are being kind to each other, loving and serving each other. Making love is about learning to connect with each other and becoming one with each other.

_____________________________________________

Welcome to episode #161! This week, Matt and Braden talk with Chris Scheele about the impact that financial stress has on pornography and sexually addictive behaviour.

Porn use and financial stress are related
Men and women can both feel financial stress in various ways. Often when that stress is carried and not processed, it becomes too much to handle and leads to unhealthy reactions. One of those reactions is to escape into pornography or other sexual outlets. If healthy patterns of handling finances are established, the benefits spill over into many areas of a person's life.

Money communication can change a marriage 

Spouses almost always have different ways of viewing, spending, and saving money. This can lead to things like financial infidelity, lying, resentment, and more. It might take a couple of hard conversations to get both spouses on the same page, but finding ways to work together and formulate a plan that works for your marriage can have positive effects on your finances, as well as on your marriage as a whole.

You are charged by God to handle money well

Some people disqualify themselves from stepping up to lead financially when they are guilt-ridden due to their porn use. God has given you a responsibility to steward, use, and grow the finances He has given you. If there is miscommunication or building resentment in your marriage due to money, step up and lead by having hard conversations, surrendering your will for the sake of the marriage, and repent and forgive your spouse where hurts have been felt. Doing this will lessen your desire for a sexual escape and increase the intimacy in relationship and peace in finances that you carry with you.

Welcome to episode #159! This week, Matt and Braden talk about the impact the subtle porn has on culture and on individuals that can sometimes go unidentified.

You're more impacted than you know
With the world becoming more and more hyper-sexualized and tolerant to perverse sexuality, the extreme nature of sexual behaviour gets further and further away from what most of us engage with. However, this still affects us because it makes our sexually sinful behaviour seem more acceptable. As an example masturbation becomes easier to justify when others are normalizing pedophilia. This is why we have to know the Word of God and have that be our standard.

Sex is about serving, not self

The message about sex from culture is to pursue sex for ourselves, our pleasure, our fun, and our validation. On the other hand, the Bible makes it clear that we are not supposed to pursue sexual activity with any selfish motives at all, but that we're supposed to pursue it for our spouse's pleasure and for the betterment of our marriage.

Be proud of being different

If you've never been with another person sexually, be proud of that! Even despite the disappointment of not having that connection, there is so much value and blessing in being sexually abstinent outside of marriage. The world wants you to feel that you're missing out, but sexual sin makes us miss out on the blessing of God's protection from the damage that comes from sexual sin.

Welcome to episode #158! This week, Matt and Braden chat with Kristy Rodriguez, Executive Director of Hope After Betrayal about what the path to restoration looks like in a marriage after sexual betrayal. There is so much gold in this episode!

Some of what we discussed were the 3 phases couples need to go through after disclosure.
Phase 1: Safety
To create safety in the marriage, there are many things that have to happen. The offending spouse must end their outside sexual behaviour, commit to consistent accountability, tell the whole truth, have a plan to change and actually implement that plan. Also, if both spouses can learn how to share their heart and understand the other person as they share, safety will begin to be established even despite the pain.

Phase 2: Remembering and mourning.

Couples that can grieve together in this process will find intimacy in the mourning stage. When it seems that their whole relationship has been a lie, they can sort through the rubble of memories and see what things from their marriage before disclosure they want to bring into their new relationship. Couples have to look back and feel what they've lost, mourn that, and begin moving forward together to repair the relationship.

Phase 3: Reconnecting

In this phase, couples are connecting not just through grief and thoughts regarding the betrayal, but in other healthier ways as well. They are rebuilding trust together and creating vision for the future. They are figuring out what their new marriage can look like together and ultimately, how they could maybe move on to help others in similar situations in the future.
