Most men who have reached out to us for help have struggled to understand themselves on a deep level. What impact did their family of origin have? How did they cope with loneliness, anger, fear, confusion, and sexual desires? This episode helps unpack and examine the process that has led many men (and women) to express their lives through sexual brokenness. This is a hopeful and insightful message for anyone who struggles to understand their inner turmoil.

Many couples have suffered the devastation of infidelity; the breaking of trust through sexual betrayal. And many believe that such a betrayal must immediately and permanently end the relationship. But are there other responses? Let's learn together what is underneath infidelity and how we might respond in more thoughtful and redemptive ways.

This episode is in response to a Esther Perel's Ted Talk on Rethinking Infidelity. Go to Ted.com to view the Talk.
