170 | On Common Ground with Sexual Infidelity: Our Summer Stories of Hope Series Wrap Up
Monday, 10 August, 2026
All summer long, we’ve sat with courageous friends from the Beyond Broken Vows family. Aimee, Kevin, Felicia, Jacob & Leah, Suzanne, RD, Heidi, Tricia, and Emily each opened up their lives and shared the raw, unfiltered “messy middle” of betrayal and recovery. Nine stories. Nine marriages. Nine unique journeys through the wreckage of infidelity. And yet, as we look back over the season, one thing is unmistakable: God kept weaving the same thread of redemption through every single story. In this special wrap-up episode, we pull back the curtain on the whole series. We highlight the moments that broke us, the stories that surprised us, and the gold nuggets of truth that kept showing up again and again — the threads that connect every wife and husband who has ever walked this road. You’ll hear about the similarities that make you feel less alone: the years of silence before help came, the agonizing drip of trickle-truth, and the realization that you cannot strive your way to a faithful marriage. This episode is a celebration of what God did — and is doing — to redeem these marriages. It’s a reminder that the old marriage really does have to die before a new one can be built. It’s an invitation to stop carrying shame in the dark and step into the light of community, honesty, and radical hope. As we close out this series, we leave you with this: recovery isn’t linear. There will be high highs and low lows. But through it all, God’s presence remains constant — the anchor that holds when everything else is falling apart. Join us for this final conversation for this series and let these stories be the spark that encourages you to step out of the shadows and embrace the hope that is ours through Jesus Christ.
