Hello and welcome to the second season of The Narrow Path! Loretta and Nathan speak with 47-year-old husband, father of five, churchgoer, farmer, and owner of a trucking company Aaron Lee about the journey to cope with repressed childhood trauma. When he was young, Aaron experienced sexual abuse, which manifested itself throughout his life in the form of pornography addiction, shame, and anger. Today, he shares how, with the help of his family, his faith, the strong men in his life, and a pivotal men's retreat, he was able to uncover the long-hidden source of the brokenness that he feels and to help let himself heal.
