• The case for accountability groups 

• Paul Kelly's 5 column plan 

• Practicing honesty is part of recovery. Ministry leaders must lead the way. 
  

• Our hope for the Church to be gracious to those who truly want to heal.

• We had no one to coach us through our emotions, and this created consequences in adulthood.

  
  

We hope something we share helps you feel like there are others in the same boat as you!

New Therapist FAQ [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/new-therapist-faq/id1514669839]

• How many pastors do we think have a sexual addiction? 
• How do pastors preach so well and lead so well, yet have this huge secret life?
• Are there yellow flags in "spotting" a sexual addict in ministry leadership?
• If people are getting saved and ministry is thriving because of a pastor's leadership, is their sexual addiction the necessary blood payment since it's their outlet for stress?
• What should we be asking God to do in this worldwide situation?

Wilson Wang and Roy Kim continue their series focusing on the topic of Relationships. In this episode, Jenn Hsu joins to talk about underrated qualities in a partner. Some of our talking points:

• We say we want to marry a Christian, but what does that really mean?
• Does your partner know how to negotiate well? Do you know how to negotiate well? Does it feel like you both have an equal voice?
• When beauty and accomplishments don't matter anymore, will you want to spend decades on end with this person?

As always, we hope that something you hear helps you feel like you're not alone, that there are others in the same boat as you.
