  • Episode #38: Chapter 10, "Embracing our Emotions"

    After going through the pain of betrayal, many couples settle for just getting back to a functional marriage, but not one that's emotionally intimate.

    Is it really possible to recover feelings of emotional connection?

    Or to create emotional intimacy that never existed before?

    Join us as we read Chapter 10 of our award-winning book, Savage Marriage, Triumph over Betrayal and Sexual Addiction. You'll discover what we found out - that empathy and compassion are the gateways to emotional intimacy.

    Once we began to see one another's back story and understand why we did what we did, God allowed feelings of empathy and compassion to spring up, taking us toward a level of emotional intimacy we'd never before experienced.

  • Episode #37: Chapter 9, "Spiritual Fuel"

    We'd always believed that emotional and sexual intimacy were the keys to a great marriage. But when our marriage broke down after 28 years, we wondered what happened.

    Was it possible that there was more to marriage than emotional and sexual intimacy, and we had missed it all these years?

    Join us as we read Chapter 9 of our award-winning book, Savage Marriage, Triumph over Betrayal and Sexual Addiction. You'll discover what we found out - that spiritual intimacy with one another was the missing part of our relationship.

    Once we began cultivating our spiritual relationship with one another, God began showing up in supernatural ways we had never before experienced.

  • Episode #36: Do You Ever Feel Like You're Just Roommates? Three Things that Transformed our Marriage (and They'll Transform Yours Too!)

    We had a lot of ground together after Phil "came clean" seven years ago. Our 28 year marriage was functional, but we still felt like roommates, always wanting more, but settling for less. And we thought everyone else was in the same boat.

    But seven years ago, we discovered three things that have made all the difference, and we believe these three things can take you from feeling like roommates, to sensing fulfillment and intimacy again.

    Join us as we discuss our journey, and how you can start your own journey of transformation in your marriage.

  • Episode #34: "And then She Threw Your Book Across the Room."

    We receive lots of feedback on our book, Savage Marriage: Triumph over Betrayal and Sexual Addiction, and sometimes there are some strong emotional responses, like when someone says their spouse threw our book across the room or out the window.

    So, what do we say when we hear reactions like this?

    We say, Hallelujah! At least what's been on the inside is coming out!

    The first step toward recovery is to show what requires restoration, and the emotional and physical manifestations of inward feelings are clues on where to look for what needs to be healed.

    Join us today as we talk about what God can do in the middle of our strong displays of emotion. It's God's road to recovery, and we invite you to join us as we walk through it!

  • Episode #30: Let's Talk About Masturbation

    While talking about porn has become mainstream in many churches, using the "M" word - masturbation - hasn't. Even mentioning it seems to evoke feelings of shame, with many people choosing less offensive words, like "solo sex" or "self-pleasuring".

    But masturbation has real effects on our body, soul, and spirit, and realizing freedom from the associated idol of lust is not only possible, but probable for people committed to doing whatever it takes to find help.

    Join Phil and Priscilla on this podcast as they talk about how masturbation affected them, and how they now live in freedom.

If you're someone who'd rather listen to the story than read it (complete with all our emotions on full display), this podcast is for you!

    In Chapter 4, Priscilla describes how her healing began at 4 Days 2 Hope, and how God showed her what it meant to forgive by faith. It was where Priscilla began to see her own journey toward healing, and what God wanted to do, not only in Phil's life, but also in hers. Without this revelation, Phil and Priscilla's path toward reconciliation would have been very different.
