PREVIEW | Jason Gray (coming June 23, 2026)

"Send us a message! (questions, feedback, etc.)" [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2342685/fan_mail/new] Greg was introduced to Jason Gray's music pretty early in recovery. The music video for his song "Remind Me Who I Am" gave a beautiful reminder that there's a difference between broken behavior and spiritual identity.  Jason is a thoughtful man who has been through a lot of pain. He often has channeled that pain into deeply meaningful songs that make listeners feel seen, heard, and understood. The conversation ran the gamut... songwriting, friendship, abandonment, stuttering, divorce, a kid with leukemia, our shadow self... You name it, it was talked about.  Episode 69 | Jason Gray: A Conversation Worth Staying For will be available Tuesday, June 23rd! #jasongray #jasongraymusic #remindmewhoiam #singer #songwriter #singersongwriter #pain #suffering #connection #vulnerability #recovery #grace #gospel #transformation #healing  Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2342685/support] Awaken website [https://awakenrecovery.com/] Roots Retreat Men's Intensive [https://awakenrecovery.com/intensives/men/] Roots Retreat Women's Workshop [https://awakenrecovery.com/intensives/women/] Awaken Men & Women's support meeting info [https://awakenrecovery.com/meetings/] (including virtual)

68 | Troy & Melissa Haas: We Just Want to Walk With People

"Send us a message! (questions, feedback, etc.)" [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2342685/fan_mail/new] One of the greatest gifts that can be given a person in recovery is presence. Company. Someone to walk with you. Someone to make sure you aren't doing recovery alone. For 25 years, Troy and Melissa Haas have been walking with men and women impacted by addiction and betrayal trauma. Out of their own experience - with Troy's multiple addictions and incarceration and Melissa's discovery of Troy's infidelity & sexual addiction - came a process of healing, recovery, and wholeness.  Their experience hasn't been wasted. In 2001 they founded The HopeQuest Group, an organization offering help and resources for addiction treatment. Based out of the Atlanta GA area, they offer inpatient treatment, intense outpatient treatment, individual and couples' counseling, and recovery communities for men in sexual addiction recovery (Walking Free) and women healing from betrayal trauma (The Journey). #troyhaas #melissahaas #troyandmelissahaas #hopequestgroup #walkingfree #thejourney #recovery #healing #treatment #sexaddiction #sexualaddiction #pornaddiction #betrayaltrauma #grace #gospel #healing #awaken #awakenrecovery HopeQuest Group [https://hopequestgroup.org/] website Walking Free [https://hopequestgroup.org/walking-free/] men's sex addiction recovery community The Journey [https://hopequestgroup.org/journey/] women's betrayal trauma support community Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2342685/support] Awaken website [https://awakenrecovery.com/] Roots Retreat Men's Intensive [https://awakenrecovery.com/intensives/men/] Roots Retreat Women's Workshop [https://awakenrecovery.com/intensives/women/] Awaken Men & Women's support meeting info [https://awakenrecovery.com/meetings/] (including virtual)

67 | Kristen Jenson: The Ability to Make a Good Choice

"Send us a message! (questions, feedback, etc.)" [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2342685/fan_mail/new] Parents raising kids today face challenges different from any other generation before. Technology is expanding and changing more rapidly than ever, and dangerous and harmful content hunts for young eyes.  Kristen Jenson has a mission: to help equip parents to prepare their kids. When kids know what is out there, how it is harmful, and what to do when they're exposed, they'll be safer, healthier, and more resilient. No one can fully prevent their kids from seeing porn or other harmful content, but they can make sure their kids know what to do when they see it. Kristen is the author of the book series Good Pictures, Bad Pictures, which just released a Girl's Guide edition. She is also the founder of Defend Young Minds, an organization providing training and resources to help parents and caregivers more effectively teach and prepare their kids. #kristenjenson #goodpicturesbadpictures #defendyoungminds #parents #parenting #pornography #connection #vulnerability #recovery #grace #gospel #transformation Kristen's Good Pictures, Bad Pictures books [https://www.amazon.com/s?k=kristen+jenson&dc&crid=35BSJNRYS1GFM&sprefix=kristen+jenson%2Caps%2C181&ref=a9_asc_1] (Amazon) Defend Young Minds [https://www.defendyoungminds.com/] website "My Kid Saw Porn...Now What?"

66 | Andy Gullahorn: Bowling League, Bonfire, or Badminton

"Send us a message! (questions, feedback, etc.)" [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2342685/fan_mail/new] There's a song lyric that reminds us of something important: "If beauty’s what you’re after, just look close to see... Knowing small things matter is really no small thing." That's from one of our friend Andy Gullahorn's songs. What a treat to have Andy back for another conversation. Talking with someone who's been a friend for a long time means you don't have to have much planned...the conversation will happen naturally. And this one defintely did. From friendship rituals to turning 50 to signing up for the Senior Olympics, Andy looks for meaning in everything. And the people who are around can sense there's something special about finding connection everywhere. Which, not coincidentally, actually gives us What We Really Want. That's not just the title of this show, it's also the title of one of Andy's newest songs, which he performs for us during the conversation [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2342685/episodes/19156897?t=2020]! Here's to you finding beauty and meaning, whether in bowling leagues, bonfires, badminton, or anything else around you. Thanks for the reminder, Andy. #andygullahorn #winningstreak #highfive #songwriting #connection #relationships #spirituality #vulnerability #recovery #grace #gospel #transformation Andy's website [https://www.andygullahorn.com/] Andy's Patreon page [https://www.patreon.com/c/andygullahorn] Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2342685/support] Awaken website [https://awakenrecovery.com/] Roots Retreat Men's Intensive [https://awakenrecovery.com/intensives/men/] Roots Retreat Women's Workshop [https://awakenrecovery.com/intensives/women/] Awaken Men & Women's support meeting info [https://awakenrecovery.com/meetings/] (including virtual)

A Little Extra Helping with Crystal Renaud Day (Bonus Episode)

"Send us a message! (questions, feedback, etc.)" [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2342685/fan_mail/new] Sometimes there's just too much good stuff to fit it all into an episode! This is what it felt like when Stacey and I - with our friend Stevi - talked with Crystal Renaud Day about her work with women who struggle with unwanted sexual behavior. One part of the conversation we didn't want to get lost was when Crystal talked about the work she does with teenage and pre-teen girls and their parents. What a refreshing thought...to address threats to safety and sexuality before they get out of control! For parents who desire to protect your kids while you prepare your kids to be on their own, this is a great part of the conversation you'll want to listen to. Be sure to also listen to our other episodes focusing on how you can protect and disciple your kids' innocence and sexuality. Please keep listening in...we'll be giving you new conversations every other Tuesday. Also, please support us by writing  a positive review and giving us 5 stars where you get your podcasts. #crystalrenaudday #crystalday #sherecovery #livingonpurpse #sexualwholeness #pornaddiction #pornrecovery #therapy #gospel #sexualaddiction #sexaddiction #women #awaken #awakenrecovery #awakenpodcast #whatwereallywant #wwrw #grace #connection #conversation SheRecovery [http://sherecovery.com/] website SheSummit [http://shevirtualsummit.com/] website - free virtual summit, with options to purchase lifetime access (use promo code AWAKEN for 10% off upgrades passes) Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2342685/support] Awaken website [https://awakenrecovery.com/] Roots Retreat Men's Intensive [https://awakenrecovery.com/intensives/men/] Roots Retreat Women's Workshop [https://awakenrecovery.com/intensives/women/] Awaken Men & Women's support meeting info [https://awakenrecovery.com/meetings/] (including virtual)
