Porn addiction recovery is rarely instant—especially in a Christian marriage. In this conversation, Greg and Stacey share what helped them move from secrecy, betrayal, trauma, and crisis toward honesty, community, and lasting change.

If you’re a spouse reeling from disclosure, a struggle trying to get free, or a ministry leader afraid to come forward, this episode offers grounded encouragement: healing is possible, but it’s often gradual—and it requires authenticity, support, and trauma-informed care.

Greg explains why sexual addiction is an intimacy disorder and why secrecy makes real connection impossible. Stacey speaks candidly about the “kicking and screaming” reality many partners live through, and why you’re allowed to feel what you feel as you begin.
