Ep 64: Rod's Story

At a young age Rod realized he loved looking at girls. His fascination started at his grandparent’s home with a swimsuit edition of a certain magazine.  Like many who struggle, he kept his addiction quiet thinking it would go away with marriage.  After he had been married for a few years, and realizing his struggle was ongoing, Rod had a desire to be honest with his wife.  His path through disclosure and opening up to his children is not one he would recommend.  Rod faced severe distrust in his marriage and initially struggled to find true recovery despite efforts to confess to his bishop and work through therapy and life coaching with his wife. Rod opens up with Chris and James about his rock bottom moment of knowing his marriage was over and the decision to change for himself and not anyone else.  He shares how he was guided to the warrior heart boot camp, his recovery group and his morning revival.  Rod demonstrates recovery is possible after a failed marriage.His girlfriend, Heather shares how she overcame one of her list of absolutes, that she would never date anyone who was an addict.  In getting to know Rod, she changed her perspective and more importantly shares how his recovery has impacted her own relationship with Jesus Christ.  Here are some clips Rod shares that are part of his morning revival.  https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Jqp2cPlK8oIhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XBbV0jn_Cxohttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nZvf_-331t0 If this episode resonates with you, or if you know someone who might benefit from it, please share the link to this episode with them.
