Pure Sex Radio

Co-host: Stephen Cervantes (HopeCounseling.com) After 15 years in ministry to sexually broken men we have learned this: every man needs emotional training. Too many assume that simply eliminating destructive and sinful behaviors will automatically produce an emotionally mature man. But it isn't that simple. Emotional and spiritual maturity takes work -- and time. This is a continuing conversation about the importance of emotional training for men and how to take your next step in that direction.

Special Guest: Lynn Cherry (LynnMarieCherry.com) What does the journey to forgiveness look like for a wife who has faced sexual betrayal from her husband? This is not something for a wife to take lightly. Nor can a wife ignore forgiveness and expect to be truly personally healthy. This is why we have Lynn Cherry on the program today. She is a woman who has traveled this road personally and has such deep and gracious wisdom to offer other wives who are walking this same path.  Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/pure-sex-radio/donations
