In this episode of the 423 Podcast, Ben and Joel discuss how following Jesus isn’t just about breaking free from sin—it’s about stepping into a new identity and purpose. We’re not just restored; we’re re-storied, no longer defined by shame but by God’s love. Recovery isn’t about trying harder—it’s about living in the abundant life Jesus offers.

In this episode of The 423 Podcast, we talk with Joel Warneking, Executive Director for 423 Communities.

We explore God’s deep compassion for those wrestling with sexual addiction and the wounds of abuse. Many struggle in silence, believing they are too broken for redemption—but the truth of the gospel speaks a different story. We unpack how God meets us in our shame, how His love calls us into restoration, and how community can be a place of healing rather than judgment. Whether you are personally walking this journey or supporting someone who is, this conversation will encourage you with hope, grace, and the unwavering truth that no one is beyond God's redeeming love.
