#12 The Confession: Our Worst Fears Came True

This episode is unlike any we've done before. It's about the night that changed everything for me and my wife, Mary June, after 23 years of marriage. We're opening up about our journey through porn addiction, infidelity, love, and ultimately, healing. I've shared previously about my coming to Christ and finding healing in God's love. I knew that I had to come clean and confess the truth of who I had been. I knew I had to face my biggest fears. Fears I had lived with for decades. This episode tells the story of the confession that set us on a path of healing and rediscovery. Mary June and I dive deep into what it took to rebuild our marriage from the ground up: the fears, the tears, and the experiences that have woven us back together. This isn't just our story. It's an invitation to anyone out there wrestling with their own shadows, searching for a glimmer of hope. It's messy, it's painful, but it's real. And it's proof that no matter how lost you feel, transformation through love and truth is possible. I'd be honored if you shared this journey with us.
