In this episode, Cody and Michelle share their devastating story of betrayal due to sexual addiction and affairs in the workplace. His actions completely blindsided Michelle while Cody lied and hid in self-protection mode, unable to face the reality of where his addiction had taken him. Their story begins, like most, before they were ever together but chose to seek individual and couple's work in an attempt to experience freedom and healing. Years later, they are now the newest addition to R2M Certified Coaches and are leading our next Couples Course 1 starting on Thursday, September 14th, 2023!

Listen now to hear how they share the hurt and pain of betrayal, the questions and conflicts they wrestled with, and how God took them from crisis to closeness.

Hey, y'all! Wow, it has been a hot minute since we have been able to record!

Today we share what's happened and why we haven't recorded a podcast in four months. We update you on what we learned through losing our home and how God has used it for good in our lives. 

Next Tuesday, we launch course 1 for a new self-led 8-week session with a pivot that makes it more affordable, accessible, and convenient. Check out the details in this episode, and then sign up through the link below. Thank you for all your continued prayers and support!

Hillary Morgan Ferrer is the founder and Mama-Bear-in-Chief of Mama Bear Apologetics. She is the chief author and editor of the bestselling Mama Bear Apologetics: Empowering Your Kids to Challenge Cultural Lies and Mama Bear Apologetics Guide to Sexuality: Empowering Your Kids to Understand and Live Out God's Design. Hillary has her master's degree in biology from Clemson University and a master's degree in apologetics from Biola University. 

Today she shares how she was led to a deeper understanding of God and inclined to worship during her master's in biology. She explains how as she studied cell biology, she was given  example after example of how the physical attributes of our body point us to God and the spiritual realm. Her teachings and writings have inspired thousands of people to understand and experience how physical things continue to point us to the spiritual. 

She explains that if the physical points us to the spiritual, then gender and marriage have new meanings and purposes. She teaches that our bodies are the language of God's mystery, a roadmap guiding us into deeper intimacy with the Divine. 

One of our favorite moments in this recording was understanding how sex has been so perverted in our culture, distorting our view and understanding of God.  

One of the amazing questions Charity asked is, "What does it look like for us to celebrate our kid's sexuality, guide them in what is appropriate but avoid shaming them for things that they have done wrong?" Hillary takes the question and adds a new perspective on how gratitude and humility play a huge part in leading our kids in their sexuality. We too often avoid choosing gratitude and showing mercy because of our own brokenness and pride. If we can teach our kids to be self-aware through our own example of awareness, our children can choose Christ instead of merely abstaining from sin out of unhealthy motives. 

The challenge is: "Are we being then Deputy Holy Spirit to our kids and leading with shame? Or are we leading with an example of humility and gratitude?"
