In this powerful episode, Steve speaks with Maribel Laguna, founder of Cor Sacrum Counseling and Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), for an honest conversation about pornography addiction, shame, and recovery from a Catholic perspective. Whether you're personally struggling with problematic sexual behavior or supporting someone who is, this episode offers hope, practical wisdom, and a path forward rooted in faith and clinical expertise.

We explore three critical areas: shame reduction and why shame keeps people trapped in destructive cycles, cultural pain points that make men vulnerable to pornography in today's world, and why pornography use continues to rise despite its devastating impacts. Maribel shares insights from her clinical practice.

This conversation is compassionate, direct, and grounded in the reality that freedom is possible. If you've ever wondered why this struggle feels so impossible to overcome, or if you're searching for real answers beyond "just stop," this episode will meet you where you are and point you toward lasting healing. You're not alone, and there is hope.

In this powerful conversation, Jack Rigert joins the podcast to unpack St. John Paul II’s Theology of the Body and its real-world impact on the battle with lust, shame, and sexual brokenness. Together, we explore not only what the Church teaches about the human person and how it can be lived by men and women struggling today.

Jack returned to the Catholic faith after twenty years away, sparked by profound encounters with Christ at his brother’s bedside and in the Eucharist. His journey reveals how shame isolates, how lust distorts desire, and how authentic love restores identity.

This episode goes beyond theory, addressing prevention, formation, and healing through the lens of Theology of the Body, discipleship, and lived conversion. Whether you’re fighting habitual sin, walking with someone who is, or seeking a deeper vision of love and the body, this conversation offers both truth and hope.

In this episode, we reflect on Pope Leo XIV’s comments on addiction. The Holy Father urges a commitment to prevention, addressing not only drugs and alcohol but modern addictions like pornography, gambling, and excessive screen use. We explore how addiction often grows from inner distress, isolation, and a loss of purpose.

Addiction isn’t just about behavior — it’s about a deeper hunger.

In this episode, I sit down with Dan Drake—literally the man who wrote the book on Full Therapeutic Disclosure—to talk about one of the most important (and misunderstood) parts of the recovery journey.

What happens when the truth finally comes into the light?

We unpack:

• What Full Therapeutic Disclosure is (and what it isn’t)
• Why honesty is the foundation of rebuilding trust
• How empathy and truth-telling go hand in hand
• The role of polygraphs in the process
• Whether or not disclosure lines up with Biblical teaching

This conversation is raw, practical, and filled with hope. If you’re a man battling secret struggles—or a spouse who has been betrayed—you’ll walk away with clarity on why disclosure matters, how it brings healing, and why God always calls us into the light.

Ultimately, disclosure isn’t just about naming failures—it’s about creating a pathway toward healing, safety, and deeper intimacy. When couples have the courage to face the truth together, they discover that God’s grace is bigger than any secret, and that honesty really can set them free.

In this episode, I sit down with Tom Weaver from Come to the Table Ministry to talk about the real struggles of sex addiction, betrayal trauma, and the hope of lasting transformation. Tom shares his powerful story of being exposed to pornography as a young boy at the “Paper Shack” in his church, how that struggle carried into marriage, and how God brought him and his wife through deep betrayal to healing and restoration.

We also talk about the ministry’s Men’s and Women’s retreats and their Couples Conference, where hurting hearts find community, truth, and tools for recovery. Check out the 'Men Make Men' retreat and the 'Princess Warrior' retreat as well as the 'Maintaining the Bridge: Hope and Healing After Betrayal' Couples Conference!

Whether you’re battling addiction, walking through betrayal, or longing for deeper intimacy in your marriage, Tom offers encouragement that freedom is possible and healing is real.

To close, Tom takes on some rapid-fire questions about recovery and relationships—practical insights you won’t want to miss.

If you’ve ever wondered if there’s hope after betrayal, or if freedom is possible after years of struggle, this episode will speak directly to you.
