In this episode, we sit down with Greg and Stacey Oliver. Greg was a worship pastor and his wife Stacey grew up in the mission field. But that did not prevent their difficult journey of Greg's hidden sexual addiction and Stacey's deep insecurity and people-pleasing. However, their redemptive journey led to healing, freedom, and restored intimacy. What began as an exhausting struggle became the doorway to discovering that sexual addiction isn't ultimately about sex; it's really an intimacy disorder. Now as the founders of Awaken, a faith-based recovery ministry, they help others find the same hope and transformation they've experienced. Together we explore where sexual addiction and related struggles often begin, how shame and unmet emotional needs play a role, and what it looks like to pursue recovery that's both Gospel-centered and therapeutically wise. Their story offers not only honesty and hope but also a powerful reminder that true freedom comes when we let God meet us in our deepest places of need. Find out more about Greg and Stacey Oliver and connect with them at Awaken Recovery website, Facebook, X, Instagram, or their What We Really Want podcast.

We are not unaware of Satan's schemes. We already know his operating method.

The sermon presents a neuroscience-informed theology of identity, asserting that true selfhood—acting like oneself—depends on the healthy development of the right orbital prefrontal cortex, the brain's executive control center responsible for self-awareness, emotional regulation, relational integrity, and moral decision-making. It argues that trauma and addiction arise when this region fails to mature, leading to disconnection from one's true self and a reliance on destructive behaviors to fill the void, especially when individuals cannot form a healthy group identity. Recovery, therefore, requires a community that models relational wholeness, mutual emotional regulation, and shared reality, enabling the brain to re-synchronize and restore identity in Christ. The sermon emphasizes that spiritual transformation is not merely intellectual assent but a neurological reformation through embodied, relational experiences—especially music, story, and shared suffering—rather than propositional teaching alone, ultimately enabling believers to suffer well by remaining synchronized with God and one another.

This sermon presents a developmental framework for understanding and treating sexual addiction as a failure to achieve adult maturity, emphasizing that healing requires confronting emotional pain and unmet relational needs rather than merely managing behavior. Central to the approach is 'PainLab,' a six-month process designed to help individuals at late-child or late-infant maturity levels learn to endure emotional discomfort, strengthen core relational skills, and replace fear-based avoidance with desire-driven action. The method integrates neuroscience, spiritual formation, and practical coaching, teaching participants to identify and process core wounds—such as attachment, sexual, contempt, and Christian wounds—while cultivating a sustainable identity within a supportive spiritual family. By reframing suffering as a path to growth and fostering relational resilience, the model aims to transform fear bonds into love bonds, ultimately enabling individuals to act with integrity and joy even in the midst of pain, all while emphasizing the necessity of community, humility, and divine partnership in the journey toward wholeness.

The sermon presents joy and quiet together as the foundational neurological and relational states that define human thriving, rooted in the brain's innate design for synchronization across emotional, mental, and physical rhythms. It argues that true maturity is not measured by moral perfection but by the capacity to remain relational during distress, particularly through the ability to return to joy after experiencing shame, anger, despair, or fear—emotions that, when unresolved, lead to addictive behaviors as maladaptive attempts to regain emotional equilibrium. Central to this process is the right cingulate cortex, which enables real-time, nonverbal synchronization between individuals, especially through authentic, face-to-face connection, where mutual regulation of emotional states allows for healing and the restoration of trust. The sermon emphasizes that healing occurs not through intellectual instruction but through embodied, relational experiences that mirror the nurturing rhythms of early development, and that the cross of Christ functions as the ultimate model of returning to joy by remaining relational even in profound suffering, offering a redemptive framework for restoring broken neural and emotional circuits.

The sermon presents a neuroscience-informed theological framework for understanding addiction as a failure to achieve adult maturity, rooted in unmet developmental needs during childhood. Central to this failure is the inability to form a healthy group identity, which requires learning to satisfy multiple people simultaneously, a skill grounded in relational synchronization. The core of this process lies in the brain's cingulate cortex—referred to as the 'mental banana'—which must be trained through nonverbal, relational experiences with a 'trained' caregiver by age two to enable emotional regulation and the ability to return to joy after distress. Without this early training, individuals remain stuck in a cycle of unrecognized attachment pain, an untamed nucleus accumbens that drives craving, and an inability to recover from emotional distress, leading to addictive behaviors that misdirect attachment toward objects or fleeting pleasures. The sermon emphasizes that recovery is only possible through intentional, relational communities—spiritual families—that provide the safe, synchronized bonds necessary to retrain the brain and restore joy, identity, and connection to God.

The sermon presents a comprehensive framework for understanding human maturity as a foundational element in overcoming sexual addiction, rooted in biblical and developmental psychology. It identifies six stages of maturity—unborn, infant, child, adult, parent, and elder—each with distinct needs and tasks, emphasizing that failure to progress through these stages, particularly to adult maturity, results in addictive behaviors. Central to this progression are the ability to regulate emotions, return to joy after distress, develop self-awareness through the 'eyes of heaven,' and learn to do hard things without relying on immediate gratification. The sermon underscores that true healing requires confronting the 'nucleus accumbens'—the brain's craving center—through disciplines like fasting, and highlights how modern culture, especially in Christian communities, often stunts maturity by rushing individuals into adult roles before they are ready. Ultimately, the message is that lasting recovery and spiritual health depend on a holistic, stage-appropriate journey toward wholeness, where individuals learn to care for themselves, relate to others, and serve their communities with integrity and joy.

In this episode, we tackle one of the most misunderstood and isolating forms of addiction, sexual addiction. Listener Richard asks a brave and important question: How do you approach recovery when the addiction itself is tied to shame, secrecy, and confusion? We dive into the unique challenges that come with this struggle, why secrecy keeps the cycle alive, how shame distorts self-worth, and what real healing looks like beyond white-knuckling abstinence. Through honest conversation, we explore practical tools for breaking isolation, building accountability, and cultivating healthy intimacy and connection. Join us as we shine light into one of recovery's darkest corners and remind each other that no matter the addiction, healing begins when we choose honesty, community, and compassion over silence.

Are you looking intently into the mirror of God's Word? I'm not talking about casually glancing at Scripture. I'm not referring to doing a brief “devotional” every morning at breakfast. We are to stoop forward, leaning into the mirror God's Word in order to look at it closely. Learn more about the ministry of The Purity Coach at  http://www.thepuritycoach.comSHARE HOW GOD IS USING THIS PODCAST!Support the show

In this deeply personal and powerful episode, we explore one of the hardest parts of recovery, making amends after the devastation of sexual addiction. When lies, secrecy, and betrayal shatter trust, the pain ripples far beyond the person in recovery, impacting partners, families, and friends. How do you begin to rebuild after that kind of wreckage? What does a healthy amends look like when the people you've hurt may not be ready—or ever willing—to forgive? Inspired by a heartfelt letter from a listener named Garrett, we dive into the emotional and spiritual process of accountability, repair, and healing. Join us as we discuss the difference between guilt and responsibility, how to approach amends with humility and patience, and why true healing often starts with giving others the space to heal in their own time. This conversation isn't about quick fixes, it's about courage, honesty, and the long, compassionate road toward redemption.

Sadly, many of us wear masks around other Christians—even around the unsaved. At church we look (and sound) like good, Bible-believing, God-fearing, faith-walking Christians. Yet when around non-Christians, we secure our masks in place, pretending to be something we're not so that we can fit right in with our current surroundings.

“I think it was important in my highest moment, to talk about my lowest moment because if it wasn't for God's work in my life, I wouldn't be who I am now…. Going into that season, my mind was so cloudy and cluttered, I didn't have the right focus and I knew I needed to get help.” -Jaylon Johnson In one of the most humbling and revealing episodes of The Pivot Podcast yet, Chicago Bears star cornerback Jaylon Johnson sits down with Ryan Clark, Fred Taylor, and Channing Crowder for a conversation that dives far deeper than football. With a new contract as one of the highest paid cornerbacks in the league, Jaylon is revitalized by the Bears culture under leadership of new head coach Ben Johnson and believes his accountability to players is helping Quarterback Caleb Williams lead the team better with emphasis on competition and execution. He breaks down the tough wide receiver match ups he faces, who his style of play is modeled after and the games he has circled on the 2025 schedule. But beyond Xs and Os—Jaylon dives deep into his personal growth, fatherhood, giving back through his foundation, and what it really means to stay true to yourself in a league that tries to mold you. Known on the field as one of the NFL's rising shutdown corners, Jaylon opens up about the battles he's fought off the field — including his deeply personal struggle with porn addiction and the role his faith in God played in his journey toward healing and freedom. With honesty and vulnerability, he shares how he reached a breaking point, leaned into scripture, and found strength through surrender. Jaylon also talks about growing up in Fresno, the loss of his close friend and how it fueled his mission, becoming a father at a young age, and why his purpose now goes beyond interceptions and contracts. Jaylon's life is guided by something bigger than football and this conversation is about redemption, resilience, and redefining manhood—as he opens up like never before, proving that true strength starts within.
