Everyone in life has struggled with something. Struggle is part of being human. Here we see it in all forms of sexual brokenness. We have staff and ministry partners who are trained in helping such strugglers.
But what if you wanted to help someone who is struggling? Do you know what to do or what to say? Have you ever given bad advice? Does it scare you when someone shares their pain?
In today’s episode, Stephen and I will share with you some practical things to do and say when someone shares their struggles with you. You don’t need to be an “expert” in order to truly help a struggling friend.

Today’s guest is Sheila Harkins. Sheila was on the podcast a couple years ago, May 19, 2020, to talk about how to help teens talk about difficult topics. If you’d like to listen to that conversation, it is Episode 749.
But on today’s episode Sheila is here to talk about her own healing from betrayal trauma and divorce. She shares about the long journey of trying to restore a broken marriage and then the aftermath of divorce – and how painting was instrumental in her healing process.
As healing slowly took root in Sheila’s life she was stirred to share her journey with other wives through her paintings. This resulted in the release of her book, Healing, One Brushstroke at a Time, which contains 42 of Sheila’s paintings along with short reflections to help women heal.
To learn more about Sheila and get a copy of her book, visit SheilaHarkins.com.

Earlier this year I had today’s guest, Matt Wenger, Clinical Director of Boulder Recovery, on the program and we touched on the four elements of Whole Man Recovery: Intellectual, Physical, Emotional, and Spiritual. I thought it was so good that we should dedicate four separate podcasts to break down and dig deeper into these four elements.
Today is Part 1 in the series and we will explore the Intellectual element of Whole Man Recovery.
In each part of this series we will attempt to answer the following questions:
- What is the element?
- What effect does it have: On addiction, On relationships, On identity
- How does recovery address this element?
- What might health and wholeness look like for this element in one’s life?

What is the connection between theology and sexuality? And why does this matter?
My guest today is Jonathan McLatchie. He is a biologist by training, but also a Christian apologist and founder of TalkAboutDoubts.com, a website that allows anyone to ask questions about the Christian faith and receive answers from Christian experts in various fields of study.
In our conversation, Jonathan defines theology and then helps us unpack the gospel metaphor that is portrayed in God’s design for sex. We also talk about how a biblical understanding of sex directly impacts our specific sexual sin struggles.
To learn more about Jonathan and see his writings and debates, visit JonathanMcLatchie.com. To submit any question about Christian faith, visit TalkAboutDoubts.com.

Every day we are inviting men to embark on a journey of personal growth, especially in the area of emotional growth. This is an essential part of breaking free from unhealthy, unwanted sexual behaviors and pursuing a life of integrity and joy.
On today’s program, Stephen brings lots of statements from men who are stunted on their journey of emotional growth, such as, “I have a good life and I’m stable. Just leave everything alone. Why do I have to keep growing?”
We then offer insights and practical ideas for getting “unstuck” and going deeper to grow in emotional maturity.
For specific help on going deeper emotionally, we encourage you to download our free resource, 40 Days of Training for Your Soul, at Bebroken.org/store.
