When many parents look across the cultural landscape they can become fearful, especially seeing the trajectory of sexual brokenness and confusion. But is there hope in this midst of the fear?
Our guest today, Barb Winters, believes there is. She is the founder of Hopeful Mom and author of the book Sexpectations: Helping the Next Generation Navigate Healthy Relationships.
In our conversation, she highlights key principles and practices from her book that will help parents (and any caregivers of young people) know how to talk about sexual topics and struggles with clarity, confidence, and hope.
Our ministry’s director of training, John Fort, even provided an endorsement of this book, saying, “Sexpectations is a calming voice to parents in the midst of the chaos of trying to talk with older kids about sex… I appreciate how Barb goes beyond just ‘what to say to kids’ but includes work that we need to do as parents throughout this process. Sexpectations is an emotional rock for parents to stand on as they navigate these waters.”
For more information about Barb, her ministry, and the book, visit HopefulMom.net.

One of our core values in ministry is story. It is often the primary bridge that connects people adrift in brokenness and addiction to the community of recovery and transformation.
In this episode, our guest is Austin Couture, the founder of The Gentle Path Project, which is a place where people can share their stories and be encouraged in their journey to a better life. Austin shares his own story of recovery and growth -- and the challenges he faced and insights he has gained in hopes that it will encourage others to start, or continue, their own pursuit of freedom and joy.

When a husband betrays his wife’s trust through sexual acting out, this can cause feelings of deep insecurity to arise in a wife – even to the point of feeling unsafe.
In today’s episode, we will discuss the topic of emotional safety in marriage and why this is often befuddling to many husbands (and men in general) and offer a few ideas on how to create safer emotional spaces for the healing and restoration of marriages broken by sexual betrayal. (As a side note, this topic is helpful for any marriage!)
This conversation was sparked by a conference Stephen went to by Focus on the Family. They built this topic around the book by authors Paul, Burbee, and Arnzen, entitled Restoring Hope: An Integrative Approach to Marital Therapy (link below).

I’m so excited about today’s program. I have written a new book that was released this month. It is entitled Grace-Based Transformation: The 3-Stage Journey to Wholeness in Christ.
In this episode, I share what Grace-Based Transformation is and why I wrote this book after 20 years of full-time ministry. It’s really the book I’ve always wanted to write.
We will explore what I call the Transformation Pathway and highlight the three key stages on it: Heal -> Grow -> Share. These form the primary indicators of a Christian’s progress.
So, if you would like greater freedom, deeper joy, and a more effective impact in your life, I invite you to listen in.
To get the book, simply go to Amazon.com or any other online book distributor.

Betrayal in marriage is a trauma. Many wives have struggled to find healing because the help they have received simply didn’t address the trauma.
Today’s guest is Laurie Bryson, a licensed professional counselor who specializes in betrayal trauma healing. She is also certified in Emotional Transformation Therapy (ETT) which goes beyond simply “talk therapy” in order to help clients experience deep healing from trauma and other emotional wounds.
In our conversation, Laurie shares what ETT is and how it practically benefits her clients and additional ways to help betrayed wives discover breakthroughs that lead to deep and lasting healing.

How did we get to where we are today when it comes to sexual brokenness, confusion, and outright rebellion against God’s design for sex?
In this episode, our guest is Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse, who is the founder of the Ruth Institute, an interfaith international coalition to defend the family and build a Civilization of Love.
Our conversation was inspired after I read Dr. Morse’s book, The Sexual State: How Elite Ideologies are Destroying Lives and Why the Church Was Right All Along. In this book, she provides a timeline that breaks down the sexual revolution into its component parts so that people can better understand how we have reached our current period and respond to it with grace and truth.
Dr. Morse shares the three big ideas of the sexual revolution:
- The Contraceptive Ideology – Society should do everything possible to separate sex and babies.
- The Divorce Ideology – Society should do everything possible to separate both sex and babies from marriage.
- The Gender Ideology – Men and women are completely interchangeable; the “idea” of self is more important than the body.

Pastors are regular men in a position of great responsibility. They are not immune to sexual temptations. How can the church help pastors recover from sexual sin and strongholds?
In this episode, our guest is Robert Posner. Robert and his wife, Judy, are the founders of 2416 Ministries, a ministry based on Proverbs 24:16, which states, “Though a righteous man falls seven times, he will get up, but the wicked will stumble into ruin.” Robert shares his own story as a pastor who fell into sexual sin and his own journey of recovery and growth.
We also talk about some of the unique challenges that pastors face due to their often isolated and elevated position. And what pastors can do to guard themselves against sexual misconduct, heal from sexual brokenness, and enter safe places for help in breaking free from sexual struggles and strongholds.

Over the past 20 years, I have heard countless stories of sexual brokenness. Many of these individuals held these stories in secret for years, even decades. They all believed the lie that no one would love them if their secrets came out. But healing and discovering one’s true identity and worth only exist in the light.
In today’s bonus episode, we have Randy and Cynthia Lail here to share a very powerful story of abuse, addiction, satanic strongholds, infidelity, and the matchless power and grace of Jesus Christ.
If you think no one could understand your brokenness or that you would be utterly rejected if the truth came out, please listen to this episode. There is no one whose story is beyond the reach of God’s rescue and transforming power.
Learn more about Randy and Cynthia and get a copy of their book at OurBornIdentity.org.
