Jake shares his journey from early confession and biblical counseling that didn't stick, to years of deception, to the traumatic revelation that nearly ended their marriage in 2023. Through two separations, Pure Desire recovery, recent relapses, and now daily vulnerability practices, they're discovering what true intimacy actually means. Brandon and Caitlyn unpack the neuroscience of addiction recovery, introduce the powerful Four R's framework (Recognize, Receive, Release, Replace), and explain why shame-based confession keeps couples stuck while ownership-based healing sets them free. Learn why your sexuality is deeply relational, how to calm your nervous system during the rewiring process, and the hope-filled truth that complete freedom from addiction is 100% possible.
