161 | Summer Stories of Hope Beyond Infidelity, with Aimee
08-06-2026 | 20 Min.
Welcome to our “Summer Stories of Hope” series.
In this episode, we share Aimee’s story—a journey that forces us to look at how we survive when the ground beneath our feet shifts, not once, but repeatedly.
After thirty years of marriage and surviving the unimaginable agony of losing both her daughters, Aimee’s husband delivered the final blow: a confession of a long-term pornography addiction and a betrayal that shattered her reality.
Aimee is currently on a journey of healing and is in the “messy middle,” where the weight of grief and the sting of infidelity collide.
She doesn’t offer easy answers or quick fixes; instead, she shares the raw truth of navigating three years of trickle truth, the necessity of firm boundaries, and the quiet, persistent work of anchoring herself in Scripture and community.
If you’ve spent years in survival mode, waiting for the other shoe to drop, this conversation is for you. Aimee’s story is a testament to finding peace that doesn’t depend on perfect circumstances, but on a God who sustains us when everything else is falling apart.
We pray this blesses you!
Johnny and Emily

160 | 3 Years of Helping Couples Move From Sexual Betrayal to True Intimacy
01-06-2026 | 36 Min.
We started the Beyond Broken Vows podcast with nothing but a desire to obey God’s call in the middle of our own shattered marriage.
Now, looking back after three years of walking through that fire with Him, we know one thing for certain: He is the ultimate Redeemer.
Our journey has been defined by the hard, holy work of surrender, and we are here to invite you into that same hope.
If you’re listening to us today and questioning if your marriage can survive this season, don’t lose heart—God is already at work in the middle of your mess.
We want you to know that the hard work of recovery is definitely worth it and that God has a purpose for your pain.
Your story isn’t finished!

159 | Soul Ties: Still Carrying a Piece of Your Past?
25-05-2026 | 30 Min.
We often talk about the weight of sexual betrayal, but rarely do we discuss the invisible, spiritual webs that keep us tethered to our past. A soul tie is more than just a memory; it is an emotional and spiritual connection formed when we yield our body and heart to another.
While God established this spiritual framework to be the cornerstone of a healthy, covenant marriage, the Enemy of our souls loves to pervert it, using it to create destructive bonds that linger long after a sinful act has ended.
If you find yourself haunted by the ghost of a past relationship, unable to fully give your heart to your spouse, or trapped in cycles of obsession and emotional instability, you may be walking in the shadow of an ungodly soul tie. These connections do more than just distract; they provide a legal foothold for spiritual oppression and hinder the very intimacy you are called to experience in your marriage.
Join us as we look at the reality of these spiritual bonds, review some indicators of the presence of soul ties, and learn how to use the authority of Christ to sever those ties, break the Enemy’s influence, and fully restore your heart to the covenant you promised to honor.
We pray this blesses you!

158 | Beyond the Wall of Isolation: They Know Too Much! (Making it Right)
18-05-2026 | 23 Min.
In our series, Beyond the Wall of Isolation, we’ve spent the last several weeks dismantling the myths that keep Christian couples trapped in cycles of secrecy and shame. We’ve talked about the masks we wear, the burdens we carry, and the importance of a united front when it comes to our children.
But we know that for many of you, this series feels like it might be a little late. You’re listening and thinking, “I wish I had heard this sooner. I’ve already shared too much with my kids. I’ve already crossed those lines, and the damage is done.”
If that’s you, we want you to know something important: It is not too late to make it right.
In this final episode of our Beyond the Wall series, we are tackling the reality of “over-disclosure.” If your children already know the graphic details or have been used as confidants during your crisis, you aren’t a failure, you’re a parent who was caught in the middle of a storm.
But what if you didn’t have to stay stuck in that regret?
In this episode, we’re busting the myth that “it’s too late.” We’re going to walk through the practical, grace-filled steps for making amends.
We’ll show you how to:
Own your mistakes without making your kids your counselors.
Offer sincere apologies that don’t shift the burden back onto them.
Create space for them to feel what they feel while you consistently model repentance.
Trust God with the outcome, even when the relationship still feels fragile.
You haven’t ruined the future, and you don’t have to carry the regret of those conversations alone. Join us today as we learn how to clean up the mess with grace and start the long, beautiful road to genuine repair.
We pray this blesses you!

157 | Beyond the Wall of Isolation: Fears of the Parents (Telling the Kids)
11-05-2026 | 26 Min.
In our current series, Behind the Wall of Isolation, we are dismantling the myths that keep Christian couples trapped in cycles of secrecy and shame.
Today we’re tackling something that keeps a lot of parents awake at night…
Should we talk to the kids about the betrayal?
And if so, when?
And how?
When hiding the reality of our marriage from our kids, we aren’t just trying to protect them; we are navigating a minefield of our own fears.
We’re going over 8 common fears parents feel when they choose to isolate their children from the truth of their struggle and also give you some answers to the when and how questions.
We pray this blesses you!
