  • When you hear the word "temptation", what feelings do you have? Sin? Failure? Frustration?

    All these feelings are normal, because few people know how to escape from temptation.

    Join us for this podcast, where we share with you the game changers in our marriage that have allowed us to understand that temptation is a testing, but doesn't need to necessarily lead to sin.

    If temptation has created fear and insecurities in your marriage, you don't want to miss this one!

  • After going through the pain of betrayal, many couples settle for just getting back to a functional marriage, but not one that's emotionally intimate.

    Is it really possible to recover feelings of emotional connection?

    Or to create emotional intimacy that never existed before?

    Join us as we read Chapter 10 of our award-winning book, Savage Marriage, Triumph over Betrayal and Sexual Addiction. You'll discover what we found out - that empathy and compassion are the gateways to emotional intimacy.

    Once we began to see one another's back story and understand why we did what we did, God allowed feelings of empathy and compassion to spring up, taking us toward a level of emotional intimacy we'd never before experienced.

  • We'd always believed that emotional and sexual intimacy were the keys to a great marriage. But when our marriage broke down after 28 years, we wondered what happened.

    Was it possible that there was more to marriage than emotional and sexual intimacy, and we had missed it all these years?

    Join us as we read Chapter 9 of our award-winning book, Savage Marriage, Triumph over Betrayal and Sexual Addiction. You'll discover what we found out - that spiritual intimacy with one another was the missing part of our relationship.

    Once we began cultivating our spiritual relationship with one another, God began showing up in supernatural ways we had never before experienced.

  • We had a lot of ground together after Phil "came clean" seven years ago. Our 28 year marriage was functional, but we still felt like roommates, always wanting more, but settling for less. And we thought everyone else was in the same boat.

    But seven years ago, we discovered three things that have made all the difference, and we believe these three things can take you from feeling like roommates, to sensing fulfillment and intimacy again.

    Join us as we discuss our journey, and how you can start your own journey of transformation in your marriage.

  • We receive lots of feedback on our book, Savage Marriage: Triumph over Betrayal and Sexual Addiction, and sometimes there are some strong emotional responses, like when someone says their spouse threw our book across the room or out the window.

    So, what do we say when we hear reactions like this?

    We say, Hallelujah! At least what's been on the inside is coming out!

    The first step toward recovery is to show what requires restoration, and the emotional and physical manifestations of inward feelings are clues on where to look for what needs to be healed.

    Join us today as we talk about what God can do in the middle of our strong displays of emotion. It's God's road to recovery, and we invite you to join us as we walk through it!

  • While talking about porn has become mainstream in many churches, using the "M" word - masturbation - hasn't. Even mentioning it seems to evoke feelings of shame, with many people choosing less offensive words, like "solo sex" or "self-pleasuring".

    But masturbation has real effects on our body, soul, and spirit, and realizing freedom from the associated idol of lust is not only possible, but probable for people committed to doing whatever it takes to find help.

    Join Phil and Priscilla on this podcast as they talk about how masturbation affected them, and how they now live in freedom.

    In Chapter 4, Priscilla describes how her healing began at 4 Days 2 Hope, and how God showed her what it meant to forgive by faith. It was where Priscilla began to see her own journey toward healing, and what God wanted to do, not only in Phil's life, but also in hers. Without this revelation, Phil and Priscilla's path toward reconciliation would have been very different.

  • "Date Night" has become almost a required step for every couple to have a successful marriage, promising emotional bliss for couples who'll stay committed to one night a week alone.

    And when date night doesn't work, some couples throw in more sex, following programs like the "30-day Sex Challenge".

    Yet, we meet many couples whose marriages are struggling, while they're religiously having date nights (and trying to have more sex).We were one of those couples for twenty-eight years, unable to find real intimacy in the face of numerous moral and spiritual failures, but still counting on date night to solve our problems.Join us on this podcast as we talk about how we experienced real intimacy in our marriage...intimacy based not on what we could do...but on what only God could do.

  • If you are a husband, you may have been intimated with the idea that husbands are the "head" of the wife. If you are a wife, you may have been appalled with how your husband has wanted to sometimes rule over you, like you didn't really have a voice or significance.

    But do you really know what the Bible means when it says the husband is the head of the wife?

    Well, we didn't! In fact, it's only been recently that we've deconstructed this passage, and it's reinforced what God has shown us in the recovery, reconciliation and rebuilding of our marriage!

  • Accountability groups have been around for decades and seem to represent the essential pedigree for a good Christian man wanting to show others he's serious about his walk with God.

    But what happens when men in these groups continue to experience unwanted sexual behavior, sometimes for years, with no apparent improvement?

    And what about their wives, who are trusting that this band of brothers will result in true deliverance for their husbands, even when the wives don't really know what goes on there?

    And why do women's accountability groups seem to be missing?

    Join Phil and Priscilla today as they explore why many men's experiences with "accountability" just don't live up to the expectations.

    If you (or your spouse) are in an accountability group, this podcast will cover five ways that your group can be improved.

  • Nothing is more discouraging than facing a relapse after you've experienced freedom. But a lot of people experience relapse, and it isn't the end of their story. In fact, God wants to show you His plan for overcoming not only the disappointment of relapse, but also for living in freedom afterward. Yes, the cycle of relapse can make you want to give up, but God can show you a path forward, and how He can rescue you from every temptation.
