Satan, our adversary, is seeking—and always has sought—to take out those in spiritual leadership. Satan hates the family. He hates the marriage—especially those founded upon the Word of God because the family is a living picture to the world of God's plan of salvation. Today we welcome our guest Lynn Marie Cherry to take this conversation to a new level. Lynn and her husband David have walked through some very difficult seasons together. Gratefully, they've both chosen to make themselves vulnerable enough to share their story, bringing light to the subject of betrayal within marriage. This happens far more often than we'd like to admit, but all too often is never revealed or confronted for fear of losing it all. In ministry such things can not only destroy your marriage, but also cost you your ministry and means of income. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Lynn Marie Cherry is an engaging speaker and the author of an award-winning book, Keep Walking: 40 Days to Hope and Freedom after Betrayal, a daily devotional that helps women find a way through the pain of relational betrayal. She is dedicated to inspiring hope and shining a light on the path to freedom. In whatever shoes you prefer – rubber rain boots, tennis shoes or sassy heels - she'll show you how to take a step forward today. Lynn graduated from Oral Roberts University and is a licensed minister. She enjoys sharing insight from God's word and the world around her.

Tony's special guest for this episode is Lynn Marie Cherry. In the early years of her marriage Lynn frequently had an intuitive sense that something was "wrong" between her and her husband David... but she didn't know what it was. She chose to deal with this nagging feeling the same way she had learned to deal with any other difficult feeling or situation in her life... DENIAL! But then her world was turned upside down when she woke up in the middle of the night... and discovered her husband secretly watching Internet pornography in their home office. This discovery was so upsetting and disruptive to Lynn... and the marriage... that they eventually began a counseling process that would last for two years. Although this process was very difficult... it helped Lynn and David to identity and process many of the dynamics that were causing their marriage to be so unhealthy... and as they slowly worked through these issues... they came out the other side stronger... and healthier... and happier than they had ever been before. It's an amazing story that inspires hope for all of us. Hope... that deeply broken hearts can be healed! Hope... that deeply broken marriages can be healed! Hope... that sexual addiction can be healed! Hope... that broken trust can be reestablished!
