There's no question that sexual sin is something that many struggle with at some point throughout their life. Pornography, premarital sex, extra-marital affairs - they have unfortunately and heart breakingly become too common in our culture and society today. A recent statistic recently projected over 30 million people struggle with problematic sexual behavior, if not addiction - and another stat revealed that over 10 million youth and adolescents regularly view pornography online. Now we understand this is a sensitive topic, but one that needs to be further discussed if we are going to experience freedom from it's bondage in order to expose this darkness into the light. Joining us today to help us develop a better understanding as to this death trap of a cycle related to sexual sin, shame, and addiction is a man who understands its grip and the path to recovery and sobriety. Today's guest is renowned faith-based Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), Certified Partner Trauma Therapist (CPTT), as well as a man who serves on the Executive Advisory Board here for us at the AACC, Jim Cress. In knowing that the internet has really become the “crack cocaine” for sex addiction, as it allows individuals to remain anonymous, as well as being easily accessible and affordable, we need to continually educate, equip, and encourage individuals as to how they can stay alert and fight back from the strongholds of sin. Our prayer is that this episode would help you find and anchor yourself in the hope of Christ as you begin or continue on a path of healing. Find out more about Jim Cress: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists/jim-cress-matthews-nc/267312

What does a partner's healing look like after the initial crisis subsides? What is needed when she is past the initial shock?  Tonight, Carol the Coach interviews Lyschel Burket, who knows both personally and professionally.   After years of working with women who have navigated betrayal in their marriage and her own healing journey,  Lyschel is familiar with the question "what's next?" So many women are still not sure how to move through the betrayal or what kind of help to seek out. Well meaning but uninformed support professionals are not giving women the encouragement to find good support for themselves and this is leaving women at a deficit with their own pain and trauma.  Oftentimes Lyschel meets with women who have known about the infidelity and betrayal for years but have never stepped to explore what kind of support is out there for them. They have been sitting in a holding pattern waiting for their husband to get well in hopes that this would help them get well too. In reality they still feel stuck. If you are a partner, today's show will give you some hope about the other side
