The Living Truth Podcast - Freedom From Unwanted Sexual Behavior, Hope & Healing For the Betrayed

Most men never received a healthy, honest conversation about sexuality. Instead, we were handed silence, shame, or surface-level advice. In this powerful conversation, therapist and author Sam Jolman unpacks the deeper story behind male sexuality—and why reclaiming it requires more than just behavior management.

 

Whether you're walking through recovery, mentoring other men, or asking hard questions about your identity and healing, this episode will meet you where you are and call you deeper.

 

We discuss:

• Why white-knuckling your way through recovery doesn't work
• How father wounds and emotional neglect shape sexual behavior
• What it means to reclaim the heart of your God-given masculinity
• The vital role of sexual blessing, initiation, and community
• This is the sex talk you never got—but it’s the one you need.

When your world falls apart after discovering sexual betrayal, how do you even begin to put the pieces back together?

 

In this powerful episode, Kristin Cary is joined by trauma-informed coach and Women in the Battle® facilitator Isabel Williams, who shares her deeply personal journey from devastation to post-traumatic growth. Izzy opens up about her initial resistance to group support, the chaos of early trauma, and the turning point that helped her begin to heal—creating structure.

 

Together, they explore:

• Why structure is essential in the aftermath of discovery
• How to identify safe people to confide in
• Why trauma-informed support (not generic marriage counseling) is critical
• The dangers of spiritually misinformed advice
• What real self-care looks like (hint: it’s not bubble baths)
• How childhood trauma patterns resurface in crisis—and how to start rewriting them

Izzy’s story is a testament to what’s possible when we receive the right kind of support and reconnect with our God-given voice and strength. Whether you’re newly navigating betrayal or further down the road, this episode will offer practical insight, encouragement, and hope.

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.
