Twenty-six percent of pastors under 45 are struggling with pornography addiction right now. Two-thirds of kids in evangelical homes have been exposed to it before age 16. This is a pandemic the church refuses to address. In this episode, Dr. Flood breaks down the neuroscience of pornography addiction, why it's rewiring your brain, and how it's destroying intimacy in your marriage.

You'll learn the HALT system for identifying your most vulnerable moments, the early warning signs before addiction takes full hold, and the specific steps to take when you're already drowning.

He also introduces his upcoming project, Restored: 365 Days to Freedom, a daily journal designed to walk with you for an entire year as you reclaim the freedom Christ has already secured for you.

When a spouse betrays you and then says they are sorry, how do you know if their repentance is real or just a performance designed to manage your reaction. In this episode, Dr. Flood walks you through one of the most painful and confusing crossroads after betrayal and gives you clarity when your gut tells you something is off.

You will learn the Five A’s of genuine repentance, how to distinguish godly grief from damage control, and why words, tears, and promises are never enough on their own. We expose the warning signs of performative repentance, the relapse patterns that reveal manipulation, and the biblical requirement for fruit before reconciliation.

This episode offers discernment, validation, and hope. You are not unforgiving for requiring evidence of change, and you are not obligated to rebuild trust on apologies alone. If you are navigating betrayal or shepherding others through it, this conversation will equip you to require truth, protect healing, and pursue restoration the right way.
