The Living Truth Podcast - Freedom From Unwanted Sexual Behavior, Hope & Healing For the Betrayed – Détails, épisodes et analyse

In this powerful episode, Michael sits down with Alan Fadling, author of An Unhurried Life: Following Jesus’ Rhythms of Work and Rest. Alan reveals how a hurried life not only drains our energy but fuels the compulsions and false comforts that drive addiction. Together, Michael and Alan unpack how hurry acts as self-avoidance—and how slowing down to the pace of Jesus leads to healing, clarity, and deeper intimacy with God. If you're burned out, stuck in unwanted behaviors, or overwhelmed by life’s demands, this conversation points to a better way: a life rooted in grace, rest, and authentic spiritual formation.

Life as we know it is shattered when sexual betrayal is exposed in our primary relationship. The pain is profound—for both the betrayed and the one struggling with unwanted sexual behavior. Nothing remains the same, and the aftermath brings intense emotional and spiritual turmoil that calls for compassionate, trauma-informed care.   Kristin continues the conversation with Molly LaCroix on how our “internal family” may respond to the chaos and grief following betrayal. If you're unfamiliar with the concept of the Internal Family System (IFS), be sure to listen to the previous episode with Molly LaCroix, LMFT, where she gently introduces this powerful framework and how it helps us understand and befriend the parts of ourselves that are hurting.

How does a parent’s unwanted sexual behavior impact their kids? Often the traumatic impact of betrayal on the kids is underrated and very few resources exist to support them. Taylor was only 16 when she first discovered her dad’s use of online dating sites. It horrified her and she began acting out sexually. Nearly 10 years later she was thrust into a major crisis due to dad’s acting out and mom’s betrayal trauma. A few months later Taylor walked into the very first Daughters in the Battle meeting- the safest place for teen and young adult daughters to get the support they desperately need after the impact of sexual betrayal on their family. You’ll learn so much from hearing Taylor honestly share her experience and the relief she found from not having to cope all alone. For more information about Daughters in the Battle which meets over zoom the first Tuesday of every month, subscribe to our email list at living-truth.org
