In this episode, Jim talks with Thomas Clements Jr., the founder of Zenith Ministries about his recovery journey and the impact of pornography today in the lives of young people getting married. Gen Z and Millennials are a highly exposed demographic when it comes to porn use – it’s been completely ” normalized” in their world so how do we help them not bring this baggage into a new sacramental marriage?

The Lord is inviting us to a very deep and intimate relationship with Him, but we need to invite Him in – regardless of where we or our family is struggling. In this episode, Jim and Emily discuss Divine Mercy, the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and bringing Him into every area of our home and families, even the dark, messy spots.

We live in an increasingly sexualized and pornified world, and our kids are being sucked deeper into the darkness at younger and younger ages. In this episode, Jim talks about the numbers, the realities and the harms of early exposure to pornography and what we as parents can do about it.

In this episode, Jim explores the link between a spouses porn habit and the wife’s eating disorders. In addition to the Betrayal Trauma we know wives suffer, is there a link between a husbands porn use and a wife struggling with eating disorders and body image? Studies say YES! Eating disorders and body image insecurities are a likely side effect of your partners porn usage, so what should you know?

Summary: Former model, CEO, and actor Joelle Maryn joins Jim to discuss the pornification of culture and how God loves us through it all. They discuss God’s plan for our bodies and sexuality and how it is good, but how society and culture can warp what God designed.

Summary: Does it feel difficult, shameful, or embarrassing to discuss pornography usage, sexual sin, or struggles in confession or spiritual direction? Well, you are not alone…in this episode, Jim is joined by Fr. Allen Hoffa to breakdown how we can approach these tough discussions and start the healing process from these struggles. Getting shame and embarrassment out of the way so we can focus on the hope that is God’s love and truly experience the merciful love and care of Jesus.

Jim is joined by Keith Nester of Down2earth Ministries to discuss how God’s Love is so much greater than any sin. How we need to let go of our shame and truly open our hearts to God’s mercy. We’ll discuss the incredible “tools” we have in the Catholic faith, what we can do to embrace God’s love in a real way in our lives, and much more.
