Have you ever wondered how living a double life is even possible?

In today’s episode, we’re diving into a topic that comes up all the time in our coaching, course sessions, and personal conversations—compartmentalization. This concept, when misunderstood, creates so much confusion and disconnection in relationships. For many betrayed spouses, understanding it begins to bring clarity to the chaos. For many husbands, it’s a lightbulb moment—finally seeing how addiction was hidden, justified, and separated from the rest of life.

We unpack what compartmentalization looked like in our own story—how I (Clint) could act out and still try to show up as a “present” spouse, while Charity was left wondering, “Was any of our past connection even real?” We also share the metaphor that helped us finally make sense of it all—why it was so damaging, and how true healing began when I stopped living in separate “drawers” and started integrating every part of my life under God’s design for authenticity and intimacy.

If you’ve ever felt confused, disconnected, or wondered how someone could live a double life, we pray this conversation brings clarity and encouragement. There’s hope on the other side of compartmentalization—and freedom in being fully known and fully loved.

"Have you ever wondered how your healing journey might be affecting your kids?"

In this raw and hope-filled episode, we open up about something deeply personal: how our past addiction and betrayal affected our son in ways we didn’t fully understand until years later. From missed bonding moments to outbursts, shutdowns, and total dysregulation—what we thought were just "strong-willed" behaviors were actually cries for safety. But here’s the good news: Jesus is in the business of redemption. And the healing we've experienced has radically changed the way we parent and connect with our kids. We pray this story brings you hope and helps you make sense of your own journey.

We’re also giving a little peek behind the scenes—sharing about our family’s move back to California and some exciting ministry updates! Our couples course is being professionally filmed, our new his-and-her workbooks are on the way, and we’re launching a leadership network that could reach couples across the globe. Through it all, we’re reminded that when we create safety in our homes, we reflect the heart of the Father—a God who never gives up on us. “There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” (Romans 8:1). Not for you. Not for your kids. Not for your story.

In this deeply personal episode, Clint and Charity open up about one of the most challenging questions in recovery: “Am I a sex addict?” Clint shares his powerful journey from denial and shame to surrender and freedom—unpacking how addiction isn’t just about behavior but identity, and how Jesus transforms both. Together, they explore the stigma around addiction, why labels can be helpful or harmful, and how true restoration comes through Christ.

They also give exciting ministry updates on their upcoming video course, a recent partnership with a church, and how you can be part of spreading healing to couples across the world.

Whether you’re walking your own recovery journey or walking with someone who is, this episode is a reminder that you are not alone—and you are not your struggle.
