When a parent cheats, it doesn't just wound the marriage. It can wound the children too.For many young people from broken families, infidelity creates a terrifying fear: What if I get cheated on too? Or worse, what if I become the one who cheats?In this episode, Joey talks with marriage and family therapist Doug Hinderer about how affairs happen, why betrayal damages a child's ability to trust, and how young people from broken families can avoid repeating their parents' mistakes.They discuss:Why affairs often begin long before anything physical happensHow infidelity affects children, even years laterWhy love feels unsafe after betrayalThe role of forgiveness in healing from a parent's affairHow to talk about the fear of infidelity in dating or marriageThe three habits that help build a faithful, lasting marriageWhy you are not doomed to repeat your parents' storyIf you're afraid of being cheated on, afraid of becoming your parents, or unsure if lasting love is even possible after what you witnessed growing up, this episode is for you.Restored ResourcesIt's Not Your Fault | Restored BookHappy Marriage for Life | Doug HindererMarriage Unhindered | Relevant RadioHow to Forgive | International Forgiveness Institute“Impossible” Marriages Redeemed: They Didn't End the Story in the Middle | Leila Miller“Impossible” Marriages Redeemed | AmazonDoug Hinderer's emaildoug@relevantradio.comShownotes

In this special Father's Day edition of Battle Plan for Broken Families, Dr. Charli explores the spiritual battle surrounding fatherhood and the family unit. Looking at both Scripture and American history, she examines how cultural shifts, war, generational trauma, absent fathers, and changing family structures have weakened the role of fathers in modern society. Through biblical insight and practical encouragement, Dr. Charli challenges listeners to move beyond viewing Father's Day as a once-a-year celebration and instead embrace a lifestyle of honoring fathers, grandfathers, mentors, and spiritual fathers. She reminds men that God's design for fatherhood is rooted in love, instruction, faithfulness, and spiritual leadership. Whether you are a father, grandfather, father figure, or someone seeking healing from broken family relationships, this episode offers hope, perspective, and a call to restore God's purpose for fatherhood in a generation that desperately needs it.Active-Faith.orgcharli@active-faith.com

When your family breaks apart, anger makes sense. But if it has nowhere to go, it can turn into bitterness, depression, addiction, relationship fear, and despair.In this episode, Autumn shares how her parents' divorce, her father's infidelity, generational dysfunction, and sexual abuse shaped the way she saw men, love, marriage, God, and herself. She opens up about the rage she carried, her struggle with pornography addiction, suicidal thoughts, and the fear that she was doomed to repeat her parents' mistakes.But her story does not end there.Autumn also shares how faith, writing, friendship, therapy, forgiveness, and a healthy marriage helped her heal and build a life that looks completely different from the brokenness she came from.In this episode, we discuss:Why anger after divorce is often a response to real loss and injusticeHow divorce can feel like a death, even when it was “necessary”Why fear of repeating your parents' mistakes is so commonHow pornography addiction can be connected to deeper woundsWhat Autumn learned to look for in a spouseHow she forgave her father without pretending the hurt didn't happenWhy your parents' divorce is part of your story, but not your identityIf you're from a broken family, angry about what happened, afraid of repeating your parents' story, or wondering if healthy love is even possible for you, this episode is for you.Share Your StoryGet the Book or FREE chapters: It's Not Your Fault

Five days since the Supreme Court ruling and the retrial is already unrecognizable. A death penalty threat from a governor candidate. A defendant's son who reportedly won't visit him. A defense team dropping hints about mystery third parties on morning television.Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke bring it all together through listener questions. Robin reads the behavioral signals coming from every direction—the prosecution's political theater, the family's withdrawal, the defense's media strategy. Each one tells a different story about where this case is actually heading.The political angle: Wilson's death penalty escalation in the middle of a governor's race. The family angle: Buster's reported fury and the brothers' silence. The evidence angle: Harpootlian and Griffin hinting at “third parties and potential motives” while holding subpoena power they didn't have before.Tony and Robin follow every listener question to its conclusion. The result isn't a recap of the Supreme Court ruling—it's a map of the three forces that will determine whether Murdaugh's second trial ends like his first or produces a completely different outcome.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What if the person you fall for isn't just a choice, but a pattern?Most people think love is about chemistry, attraction, or finding “the one.” But according to today's guest, the heart alone is not enough.If you come from a divorced or dysfunctional family, your wounds can shape who you trust, who you're attracted to, and what feels “normal” in a relationship. Without realizing it, you might be drawn to someone familiar, not because they're good for you, but because they feel like the past.In this episode, we explore how to build love with both your heart and your head. We talk about repetition compulsion, red flags, rushing trust or physical intimacy, and how to tell whether someone is actually capable of healthy love.My guest is Dr. John Van Epp, relationship expert, counselor, and author of How to Avoid Falling in Love with a Jerk.If you've ever wondered, “Why am I attracted to people who aren't good for me?” or “How do I avoid repeating my parents' marriage?” this episode is for you.Get our bookCheck other free resources:How to Avoid Falling in Love with a Jerk by Dr. John Van Epp:Love ThinksHead Meets Heart course:Shownotes

And if so, how does healing really happen?And finally, a young woman opens up about starting her first relationship while watching her divorced parents repeat unhealthy patterns, and asks, “Who do I go to for relationship advice when my parents haven't modeled a healthy relationship themselves?”If you've ever felt torn, stuck, or unsure how to navigate the pain and dysfunction of your broken family, this episode is for you. View details for Healing Retreat May 1-3 in PhillyAsk a question anonymously on the showGet Dakota's FREE Guide, The Biggest Fitness Mistakes to AvoidGet the Book or FREE chapters: It's Not Your FaultShownotes

So many young people from divorced or dysfunctional families assume their story is unique — or worse, that they're destined to repeat the same patterns. But the truth is, family brokenness is far more common than anyone talks about. And God has been dealing with messy family dynamics since the beginning of time.In this episode, Deacon Ryan Budd, who served as Dr. Scott Hahn's research assistant, reveals how the Bible is full of families just as complicated, chaotic, and wounded as ours. He explains why God doesn't simply “fix” things instantly, how healing actually unfolds, and what Scripture shows us about breaking cycles and building something new.We cover:Why broken families are more common than you thinkThe surprising dysfunction hidden in biblical storiesHow God works through pain instead of erasing itDavid's family drama — and what it shows us about redemptionPractical steps to begin healing and avoid repeating the pastIf you've ever feared that your future family is doomed by your past, or you're searching for hope in the mess you come from, this episode is for you.Buy the Book: Salvation Stories: Family, Failure, and God's Saving Work in ScriptureGet the Guide: 5 Tips to Navigate the Holidays in a Broken FamilyWatch the Documentary: KennyWatch the Trailer: Kenny (3:31 min)Get Dakota's FREE Guide, The Biggest Fitness Mistakes to AvoidShownotesQuestion for Joey or our guests?

Jentezen Franklin delivers a message of restoration and hope for those facing family pain, division, or loss. He reminds believers that God specializes in healing what seems beyond repair and that His promises extend to every member of a broken family. Drawing from biblical examples such as Joseph's reconciliation with his brothers and the prodigal son's return, Franklin emphasizes that no situation is too far gone for God's grace to mend. He teaches that the enemy often targets families because strong families build strong faith and communities, but God's covenant promises—mercy, forgiveness, and restoration—are stronger than any attack. Franklin urges believers to stand in faith, pray persistently, and speak blessings rather than bitterness over their loved ones. Through forgiveness, humility, and obedience to God's Word, fractured relationships can be made whole again. Franklin assures listeners that God can turn generational pain into generational purpose, and that what was once a source of heartbreak can become a testimony of His redeeming power. The message concludes with encouragement to trust that God's timing and faithfulness will bring reconciliation and peace to every home that yields to His healing hand. Jaggy, Tedi, and I are pleased that you tuned in. Please share!

Happy Halloween! In today's episode, I share my Halloween plans and the woes of switching out your summer wardrobe in a small NYC apartment. Then, I dive into the ways to approach difficult familial dynamics and generational differences.

When your parents divorce, you almost always miss out on the mentorship and guidance that parents are meant to give their children about life, relationships, and so much more.  Without that kind of guidance, you feel lost, alone, and stuck - unsure what to do about it all.But that's where a mentor can be incredibly helpful and even healing.In this episode, we dive into the power of mentorship: why it's essential if you grew up without one or both parents, how to find the right mentor, and how those relationships can heal what was broken.If you've ever wished someone older and wiser could show you the way, or wondered how to stop repeating your family's dysfunction, this episode is for you.Visit Brandon's websiteGet the Book or FREE chapters: It's Not Your FaultWatch the Documentary: KennyWatch the Trailer: Kenny (3:31 min)Listen to Episode #036: Healthy Relationships Are Impossible Without BoundariesListen to Episode #058: Forgiveness: The Secret to Healing and Freedom | Fr.

What if your family could be a little glimpse of heaven on earth? This week Pastor John begins our Heaven on Earth series, exploring God’s design for marriage, parenting, and family. From Genesis to Corinthians, Scripture shows us that while sin and selfishness bring brokenness, God’s love and patience restore us and transform our homes. Family is the most difficult and most important place to live out your faith. Marriage and parenting require dying to self and choosing to serve in love. God’s Spirit gives us humility, patience, and forgiveness to build healthy relationships. Family is the cocoon where God transforms us from old to new.
