Thank you for your support!----------In this episode, I talk with Clint and Charity Munoz, co-founders of Restored2More, about rebuilding trust after sexual betrayal—and why couples need more than separate recovery plans: they need a roadmap back to each other. They describe the moment Charity learned a relapse plan could help her feel safer, even though she never wanted a relapse to happen, and explain how naming betrayal trauma helped make her symptoms understandable. We also discuss their eight-week course, The Bridge Back to Us, and what couples need before they begin. To get resources from Clint & Charity, visit Restored2More.com. Topics Covered in this Episode: Rebuilding intimacy and connection after sexual betrayalThe development and purpose of a couples’ restoration courseBiblical foundations for healing and relationship restorationBringing individual and shared pain to GodUnderstanding and recognizing betrayal traumaThe effects of compulsive sexual behavior and addictionDeveloping empathy and balancing compassion with accountabilityCommunicating through triggers, slips, and relapseSetting expectations and assessing readiness for couples’ recoveryFinding resources and support for individuals and couplesMore Resources: The Bridge Back to Us CourseEarly Couple Recovery AssessmentFind a Couples GroupRelated Podcasts:Restored to More: Clinton & Charity's StoryBeyond Broken Vows: Rebuilding Marriage After Sexual BetrayalFrom Betrayal to Bonding: Rebuilding Your Marriage After Infidelity----------Please rate and review our podcast: Apple and SpotifyFollow us on our Vimeo Channel.

He turned elsewhere for answers, including pornography, and says that experience helped shape his later struggles. In this episode, we talk with John, the author of Don’t Stress Talking Sex, about how parents can make home a safer place for honest conversations. We explore why a single “sex talk” can backfire, how sharing your own story can build trust, and why it’s never too late to start—even with adult children. John also offers five practical takeaways for talking with kids about sexuality without letting fear or shame lead.To get your copy of John’s book, go to Amazon or anywhere books are sold, or visit Bebroken.org/dstsbook. *Family Time episodes are short, practical conversations to help parents feel more confident and competent in raising kids according to God’s design, even in a sex-saturated culture.Topics Covered in this Episode:How personal experiences can shape a parent’s approach to talking with children about sexWhy parents feel stressed or hesitant about discussing sexualityWhy sex education works best as ongoing conversations rather than a single “talk”The importance of trust, emotional connection, and safety in parent-child conversationsWays to begin communicating with children who are reluctant to open upHelping children think critically about sexual messages in media and cultureTeaching healthy sexuality and recognizing harmful or exploitative portrayals without shameSharing personal experiences and mistakes appropriately, while emphasizing growth and graceWhy it’s valuable to start conversations early—and why it’s never too late to beginPractical strategies for making difficult topics easier to discussResources for Next Steps:Don't Stress Talking Sex* by John FortHonest Talk | The GamePersonal Ministry Consultation for Parents5 Practical Tips for "Don't Stress Talking Sex"Start earlier than you thinkStop looking for "the talk" momentConnection matters as much as informationDon't avoid hard topicsIt's never too late to startFor more parenting podcasts, go to Bebroken.org/tp-pods and scroll to Family Bundles.*This is an affiliate link.

Thank you for your support!----------In high school, Jordan Castille was bullied for being a male cheerleader—and later turned to pornography to cope with the isolation and insecurity. In our conversation, I hear how he found healing through faith, honest friendships, and a small group where he could finally share what he’d kept hidden. Jordan also speaks candidly about relapse after marriage and becoming a parent, and the trauma-focused work that helped him reach five years without pornography. We discuss why recovery involves more than stopping a behavior: it can mean facing old wounds, finding a healthy community, and learning to live as the person God created you to be.To learn more about Jordan and his services, visit CastilleCoaching.com.

Thank you for your support!----------Stephen Cervantes says the emotional coping system you built to survive childhood may now be the very thing keeping you from peace—and changing it means breaking down its shaky foundation, not just adding better habits on top. In this conversation, Stephen and I explore why spiritual practices can’t by themselves heal emotional wounds, how fear, shame, and the need for control shape the way we relate to God and others, and why “restful” doesn’t mean life is comfortable or trouble-free. We also offer a vivid picture of what change can uncover: like pulling up decades-old carpet to find a beautiful wood floor beneath. For daily thoughts from Stephen, visit DoctorMarriage.org. Topics Covered in this Episode:Emotional growth and the role of daily reflections in encouraging meaningful conversation.How emotional and spiritual development are intertwined.Recognizing unhealthy emotional patterns, such as fear, excessive control, worry, perfectionism, and avoidance.How childhood experiences and chaotic environments can shape survival-based coping strategies.The challenge of changing familiar patterns, even when they cause distress.Rebuilding emotional foundations around love, acceptance, forgiveness, and belonging.The importance of addressing emotional wounds alongside spiritual practices.Finding greater peace, rest, and connection through personal growth and faith.A closing prayer for letting go of ineffective coping strategies and seeking healthier responses.More Resources:Untangling Emotions* by Groves and SmithGrowth Map: The Pathway to Peace, Rest, and Joy* by Stephen Cervantes49 Days of Growth: Growing in Emotional Skills* by Stephen CervantesRelated Podcasts:Are You Open or Closed to Emotional Growth?Men's Emotional Self-Awareness TestHow to Experience Excellent Emotional Connections*This is an affiliate link.

And is there really hope for something good on the other side of all that pain? Today, I’m talking with Hans Molegraaf, cofounder of Marriage Revolution. He and his wife know what it’s like to face a marriage that seems beyond repair—and to experience God at work in the long, difficult process of rebuilding. I’m grateful for his willingness to share honestly about their story and what he’s learned helping other couples navigate betrayal.We talk about telling the truth, rebuilding safety, and why stopping destructive behavior is only the beginning of healing a relationship. We also discuss why forgiveness shouldn’t be rushed and how the people around a hurting couple can offer meaningful support.
