About this listen

Processing Infidelity in the Church is a podcast for those living in the fallout of betrayal—especially when it happens in the sacred spaces of ministry and marriage. We talk about the lies, the loneliness, the shame, and the silence from the church. We unpack the spiritual confusion, the relational chaos, and the emotional trauma that comes when everything falls apart. BUT - This is also a space for comebacks—for rebuilding trust, redefining faith, and reclaiming your voice. No fake church smiles. Just raw, redemptive conversations about what happens after the worst has happened.Joni Pauley - Redeemed to Rise Coaching Christianity Spirituality

  • But Where was God? Recovery from Infidelity & Church Hurt
    Aug 6 2025

    When betrayal shatters your world—especially within the church—it’s natural to ask, “But where was God?” In this honest and vulnerable episode, we talk about the spiritual confusion, anger, and silence that often follow infidelity and ministry-related betrayal.

    If you’ve been left reeling from broken trust in your marriage or within your faith community, this conversation is for you. Together, we’ll explore what Scripture says about suffering, how to be honest with God in your pain, and why questioning His presence doesn’t disqualify your faith.

    Whether you’re a pastor’s wife, ministry leader, or someone carrying betrayal trauma, you’re not alone. There is space for your grief and your healing. There’s a way forward—even when God feels distant.
