Dear Betrayed,


Are you in shock? Confused, devastated, hurt, angry and feeling like you are not enough? Do you feel like it must be your fault, like you should have somehow seen the signs? Are you grieving the death of the marriage you thought you had?


Dear Betrayer,


Have you been believing the lie that if people knew what was really in your heart and mind, they would turn their back on you? Have you been convinced that your wife and family would leave you and you would lose everything if/when you came clean?


Beloved, do you both feel like your marriage is over?

Well, you’re right. That marriage full of secrets and lies IS over. But now there is hope for an honest and transparent marriage - one full of trust, safety, connection, forgiveness, acceptance, and intimacy that you’ve never known before. Bold statement, right? You may be thinking, “No way!” That’s okay. We understand…


Hi, we are Johnny and Emily Spigelmire and we have been where you are...

As a result of adultery fueled by pornography, the marriage vows we had exchanged as starry-eyed newlyweds and had worked so hard to keep were eventually shattered. We’ve been through hell and back. But we are here, together, to let you know that this devastation we experienced was actually a gift.


Of course, we didn’t see it that way at first and you probably don’t either. But, through a commitment to recovery, our faith in God, and our hope for redemption, we set out on a journey of healing, and we can’t wait to share what we’ve learned with you. We now have a marriage that continually blows our minds, and we give God all the glory!


So, if you’re ready to move from heartbreak and pain to hope and healing, grab your favorite beverage, get comfy, and join us on a journey of faith as we talk through difficult questions like;


Is there hope for our marriage?
Can I fix all the damage I’ve done?
Can I ever trust again?
Is true intimacy even possible?


We will also do deep dives into the topics of:
* Isolation
* Guilt and Shame
* Anger
* Rejection
* Addiction
* Trauma
* Body Image
* Triggers
* Communication
* And more…


Our story, like yours, is a messy one. But, with God’s help, it is possible to recover what was lost, stolen, or given away. We know this because God has turned the ashes of our lives into something beautiful and we believe he can do that for you too.

    151 | Resurrection Life for Your Marriage
    Mar 30 2026

    In this episode, we reflect on the sacred weight of Passion Week, and invite you to pause and turn your eyes toward the transformative final days of Jesus’s earthly life.

    From the triumphant shouts of Palm Sunday to the agonizing solitude of Gethsemane and the ultimate sacrifice at the Cross, this week is a reminder that the path to redemption always requires a death.

    We reflect on the gravity of what Jesus endured for us, acknowledging that without the shadow of Good Friday, there could be no glorious dawn of Easter Sunday.

    In this episode, we explore how the powerful truth of the resurrection offers a path forward for those navigating the pain of sexual betrayal in their marriages.

    Much like the disciples at the empty tomb, you are invited to stop looking for life among the dead remnants of the past.

    By letting go of what once was, you create space for Christ’s resurrection power to breathe new life into your relationship.

    Join us as we walk through these final days of our Lord, finding deep, abiding hope in the victory of the empty tomb and the promise of renewal for your marriage.

    We pray this blesses you,

    Johnny and Emily

    150 | Are You Weaponizing the Bible in Recovery from Infidelity?
    Mar 23 2026

    As Christ followers, we absolutely want to use the scriptures as our primary guide for living our lives. Afterall, as it says in 2 Tim. 3:16-17, all scripture is God breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training, in righteousness so that the servant of God may be equipped for every good work.

    We love God’s Word, but sometimes we can use scripture as a weapon.

    On today’s show, we’ll talk about what it means to weaponize scripture against our spouse while we are healing and recovering from the effects of a marriage shattered by sexual betrayal.

    We’ll define what weaponizing the Bible is, show you some examples of what it looks like, and offer solutions for using scripture to promote peace and healing while recovering from the effects of infidelity in your marriage.

    We pray this blesses you,

    Johnny and Emily

  • 149 | 4 Ways To Go The Extra Mile When Recovering From Sexual Betrayal

    149 | 4 Ways To Go The Extra Mile When Recovering From Sexual Betrayal
    Mar 16 2026

    We’ve walked the hard road of betrayal and addiction, and we know that half-measures simply don’t cut it when you are fighting for the heart of your marriage. True healing isn’t about just stopping the bad behavior—it’s about actively pursuing the life God intended for your covenant, even when the path is difficult.

    Today, we’re talking about what it really takes to go the extra mile. We’re discussing why settling for the bare minimum keeps so many couples stuck, and how leaning into the uncomfortable work is exactly what separates those who survive from those who truly thrive in restoration.

    We pray this blesses you,

    Johnny and Emily
