In Episode 65, we sit down with Ruth Erickson as she unpacks some of the keys to finding healing after a marriage experiences adultery even when the marriage doesn’t survive. Ruth is a mama and step-mama in a beautiful blended family. Ruth has a heart for worship and for helping women, who are recovering from infidelity trauma, find hope & healing and to equip the church to love these women well. God has re-written the most painful parts of her story to prove His promises.

Ruth’s new book, (Un)Faithful, is a guide through the firestorm of infidelity. Ruth Erickson’s story of heartbreak and healing is an invitation for all women who have suffered the betrayal of an affair to discover the depths of the faithfulness of God. Ruth offers wisdom, perspective and hope, standing years beyond her own fire, yet the book also journeys back in time to include riveting and honest poetry and journal entries from her real-time experience.

Wrapped in forgiveness and faith, (Un)Faithful is a raw and reverent journey to healing, whether the marriage survives or not. While every story is unique, this book offers timeless, biblical principles by which any woman can walk into safety and dignity under the covering of a gracious God.

The numbers don’t lie, porn usage within marriage is a key factor in why many marriages end in divorce.

In this episode, Bryan speaks with Sam Tielemans about how change can be possible in a marriage where porn is present and the boundaries needed to be set to make that change.

What happens when words that have meant something for thousands of years, now mean something completely different? What happens when they are words like “man” and “woman”? Whats happens when there are criminal charges applied to those who dont think “correctly"? …In many ways, we are about to find out.

Dr. Provan even uses analogies connected to the book, you probably read in high school. 1984 written by George Orwell. The similiarites to our cultural moment are shocking.

The gospel of Jesus and sexuality are NOT mutually exclusive.

It’s easy to relegate gospel preaching to only be about the initial introduction to Jesus that leads someone to faith in Him. This, unfortunately, leaves a large space in between the moment of that decision and the moment of someone’s death. So, what happens in between?

This space is where the gospel continues to work as our lives are healed by the good news of Jesus. As Christian leaders, we cant talk about this work without talking about sexuality.

In Episode 56, Bryan and Bonnie share some key points on how we can develop a gospel-centred perspective towards sexuality in our churches and ministries.
