A sexless marriage is more than just missing physical connection, it's going to bed every night next to someone who doesn't want you, wondering if you're even attractive anymore, and suffering in isolation because you can't tell anyone.

In this episode, Dr. Flood tackles the topic the church is often too uncomfortable to discuss. You'll learn why sexual intimacy matters biblically and neurologically, the root causes behind sexless marriages, and how to recognize the warning signs before intimacy dies completely. Plus, you'll receive practical steps for rebuilding when months or years have passed with no physical connection.

Sexual intimacy isn't optional in marriage, and when it's absent, it creates a wound that festers.

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.

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.

Your marriage isn't perfect, your family isn't flawless, and this Christmas, you might be feeling the weight of another hard year.

But let me remind you that 2,000 years ago, God arrived to an unwed teenage mother, a confused carpenter, and a stable that smelled like animals.

Emmanuel means "God with us", not God with us when we get it together, but in the midst of our mess.

This week, we walk through the Christmas story from Luke and unpack the gospel hidden in the manger: Hope isn't found in having a perfect marriage, but in the One who enters our chaos and makes all things new.

Do you look perfect on social media but barely speak at home? Do your friends think you have the ideal marriage while you're dying inside?

That's a performative relationship, and it's destroying intimacy because you're managing an image instead of building a real partnership.

This week, we'll expose the facade: couples who look great on Instagram but are strangers in their own homes. Plus, we'll show you how to stop performing and start connecting before the gap becomes permanent.

Have you ever hidden a purchase, deleted a bank notification, or lied about how much something cost?

That's financial infidelity, and it destroys marriages just as much as physical affairs because it's more about the trust than the money.

This week, we'll unpack hidden debt, secret accounts, and the financial lies couples tell each other. You'll also learn how to rebuild financial transparency before it's too late.
