163 | Summer Stories of Hope: Beyond Porn-Fueled Infidelity, with Felicia
Monday, 22 June, 2026
In this episode of Summer Stories of Hope, we sit down with Felicia, who shares the raw and redemptive story of her 32-year marriage. For decades, Felicia believed she was in a close, happy marriage—until a quiet afternoon in October 2022 revealed a hidden reality that shattered her world in an instant. Felicia walks us through the profound shock of discovering her husband’s secret pornography addiction. She shares the painful aftermath: the feelings of isolation, the well-meaning but misguided advice to “just forgive,” and the difficult journey of navigating despair and anger toward God while her entire sense of reality was being dismantled. This isn’t just a story of betrayal, though; it is a powerful testimony of what happens when a couple commits to radical, transparent recovery. If you are currently navigating the fallout of infidelity in your marriage, or if you are wondering if intimacy can ever be restored after such a deep betrayal, this episode is for you. Felicia’s journey is a powerful reminder that recovery is a lifelong commitment, but God’s grace is sufficient for every step of that journey.
