A short introductory podcast segment (promo) for "The Two Equals One Marriage Podcast" by Dave Willis. Two speakers (a pastor and their partner) candidly recount marital breakdown, shame, addiction (alcohol abuse), rage, and near-divorce, and invite listeners to hear their fuller story of addiction, redemption, and marital restoration.
And looking back on those days, I really wish we had hit the pause button earlier.
I agree.
We believe that the best gospel that you can live and exemplify is one that is of a healthy, thriving marriage. But that has not always been our story. I couldn't keep up with who I pretended to be.
The shame overshadowed and masked reality.
This marriage is awful. I want a divorce.
I began to abuse alcohol.
I was overwhelmed with rage. Here I am, a pastor, preaching sermons that are supposed to set someone free. But yet I felt bound myself. You don't have to live in the pain that you've been living in.
Help was so close. It was so close.
Join us as we unravel our story of addiction, redemption, and triumph in our marriage. This is our story.
