164 | Summer Stories of Hope: Discovering True Intimacy After Infidelity, with Jacob and Leah

They met at a homeschool ski lesson when they were eight. Married young. Kids came fast. On paper, it was a dream.   Behind closed doors, it was falling apart.   Poor communication. Resentment. Faith tension. And in secret, Jacob’s pornography addiction escalated into sexual experiences outside his marriage. They were living entirely separate lives.   Then God showed up at a marriage retreat.   During deliverance prayer, Jacob experienced supernatural freedom from lust. On the drive home, he told Leah everything.   The confession broke them. But it also saved them.   Through family, church leaders, recovery programs, coaching, and even a therapeutic separation while Leah was pregnant, they fought for their marriage.   Today, he is nearly three years free from sexual sin. Real character change. A stronger marriage and faith than they’ve ever had.   If your marriage feels like it’s quietly crumbling, take heart. The God who met two eight-year-olds on a ski hill is the same God who meets us in the valley.   He’s still in the business of rebuilding what sin tried to destroy.   Listen now to hear their full story.   We pray this blesses you,   Johnny and Emily   💜Work with us! coaching.beyondbrokenvows.com 💜Hang out with us and support our ministry on Patreon, beyondbrokenvows.com/partner 💜Become a Beyond Broken Vows Insider!
