I am three and a half years into my recovery, and I find much practical wisdom and advice in this show. I can see myself in most of the episodes, and I want to really become the man God has called me to be. It’s been good for me to learn the difference between being project-oriented and being process-oriented: it’s not about checking off tasks, but about living into the journey.

Marilla’s friend was Rachel. Oh, and great podcast. Thank you, guys.

You can always tell when she likes what he is saying. She will respond “mhmmm”, right into the mic. Lol I like that they share both sides. I am so glad they are sharing their story. I’m also glad they stayed together and share their restoration story with us. Would recommend this podcast.

So there information that a therapist will give, then information that a “Good” therapist will give and then there is Jason and Shelly. The tools from these podcast along with the tools from Redemptive Living Academy are an absolute must if you need character change and want to save your self and your marriage.

Jason & Shelley’s podcast (and blog + Instagram posts from Shelley) has been the most helpful thing on our road to healing. It has brought clarity, validation, helpful tools and hope to our broken marriage. Thank you, Jason & Shelley for the hard work your doing in this area!

D-day for me was 1/29/24. Once I found this podcast, I began to look at sex addiction differently. I feel more hopeful and I am so get thankful for Jason and Shelley! This is a very informative podcast along with laughter and challenges on how to move forward!

Ever since discovering RLR it has become my go to podcast for all questions recovery related. Both Jason and Shelley are so real when they share wisdom and insight. I feel that they give realistic advice and expectations. I feel seen when I listen to them! My husband and I will forever be so grateful for RLR. Keep doing the Lord’s work y’all! 🙏🏽♥️

The podcast offers such reassurance and practical tips to navigate the difficult season of betrayal and sexual integrity!!

This podcast has been exactly what I’ve need to listen to. Jason and Shelley talk about a topic no one wants to talk about. I appreciate their honesty and willingness to be vulnerable with their own experience in betrayal trauma and sexual addiction. Thank you for being willing to be used by God through your own story. I pray someday God will use mine.

This show brings the necessary conversations in to an understanding for those in need of help! I highly recommend Jason and Shelley to anyone facing betrayal in their marriage 💯

I am so thankful to have found your podcast. You put my feelings into words that I’ve never been able to do. I find such comfort listening and learning. Thank you for all you do!

I am so grateful for you both. You find ways to put my experience as a betrayed spouse in such a compassionate and also palatable way that allows my husband to hear the pain I’ve experienced but removed from the shame he automatically feels if I try to express it. You also provide a truly strong and moral example of a man. Thank you for all the blessings you have given. I hope you can be blessed for all that you have given.

Jason & Shelley and all of the resources they offer, have been the most helpful in our healing and rebuilding our marriage. This podcast is beyond helpful! I love hearing them talk about all of these important subject’s together bringing in both perspectives. I am so grateful you two make these podcasts and for all of your materials over the years! My husband and I have been on this very difficult journey of recovery (after many years of betrayal) for ten years now. Jason & Shelley (Redemptive Living for men & women) have been the most helpful tools and information that we have gotten (and at times devoured out of desperation) over the past 10 years.

Since the disclosure of my husbands addictions, I have listened to many many podcasts. This one we both resonate with so much. It has been more helpful and validating to hear both sides (from Jason and Shelley). My husband read (and underlined and took notes) Jason’s book in less than a day. He doesn’t read books. It was so very helpful for both of us. Thank you for all of your insight and thoughtful episodes. Thank you for being God’s conduit in his miracle of multiplication.

Thank You Jason and Shelley! I’ve listened chronologically from episode #1 and at times it seemed you were reading my journal ! I was betrayed after 32 years of marriage 3 yrs ago and it is sooo affirming to no longer feel crazy or even sinful for the ongoing grief and pain while healing from betrayal trauma.

Thank you for your transparency in sharing these valuable tools for both the husbands and wives. Sexual betrayal has shattered my 40 year foundation marriage. It is still very new to me and I am drowning in trauma and grief. These podcasts have been both encouraging and hopeful. How can a man choose to betray his wife, family and God for 40 years. Silent, Secret and sinful betrayal

These have been the most helpful of all the recovery podcasts but they have the least recordings. I’m anxious to listen to season 5! Please come back!

Redemptive living has done a better job than any other organization I’ve come across when it comes to reconciling marriages. There are great resources for my own self improvement, but this team has helped my marriage more than anyone else.

This podcast has been the most helpful in really understanding and moving forward in the process of recovery for myself and my spouse.

Jason and Shelley’s podcast and resources helped to save my marriage! They provide an outline of recovery and restoration that includes advice that you can use daily in your marriage.

There is not a time when I have listened to your podcast that I didn’t utter a loud AMEN to what you were saying. Listening to you speak to from experience makes me feel seen, heard, known, and validated. Thank you Jason and Shelley for your authentic understanding and dedication to those of us traveling the hard path of recovery.

This podcast has really enriched me deeply and has provided a lot of great insight into my husband’s recovery. It’s blessed our marriage in the process and I’m so thankful for Shelly and Jason! Thank you for showing us that it’s possible to live redemptively. So many conversations have been had and will continue to be had. It’s helped us get on track and stay there!

Your podcast has been so helpful. I’d love to hear a show about when he’s doing work on himself and making good positive changes but b/c of being burned by more than 5 different counselors he isn’t interested in counseling or even coaching. We’ve been through so much bad advice. We’ve been so many hurtful things and given such bad advice by well-meaning pastors, counselors, and psychologists, and groups. It actually drew out the entire issue. My husband didn’t truly turn away from his addiction for 32 years. I’ve been so hurt by all this well meaning advice too. Now that he is committed to change he is adamant about not going to counseling or groups. He is doing well. He has made good changes in himself. He’s a read several books and is a totally different and better person than he was before he renounced his addiction (for real) this time. There is way more to it than I can share here. What can we do next? He’s doing well but I’m afraid that his addict brain doesn’t have the needed tools for long term recovery. It’s been about 8 months since he was Discovered and he has been transparent, honest, and open since then. He and I have both done a lot of work on ourselves and our relationship.

I love this podcast!!! It has helped me so much, both personally and with my husband! Thank you!!!

I knew when I saw this podcast I’d love it before I ever listened because Shelley is such a safe voice for Betrayal Trauma Recovery! She and Jason have such a great way of helping the listener wrestle with hard things but with so much compassion, grace and understanding. Thank you both for leading out in vulnerability so that others can do the same. Y’all have truly been given a gift for ushering in God’s redemptive work of the gospel, giving people permission to own their stories and to heal. Love it and can’t wait for the next season!

I have listened to all episodes within 3 days! That’s how great I think it is. I wish they did more episodes more often.

I enjoyed listening to many episodes. However, as a betrayed partner living with an abusive husband, episode #25 was very upsetting and invalidating. Please, please, please, educate yourself better about gaslighting behaviors. Invalidating or minimizing gaslighting can inflict further trauma for abused partners. A lot of the behaviors in this podcast labeled as “intimacy aversion” are abusive, gaslighting behaviors. Just because a betraying partner doesn’t intend to actively gaslight and instead is “acting in”, doesn’t mean that gaslighting isn’t occurring.

Shelley and Jason are so open with their experiences, so sensitive to partners needs, very centered on healing for both partners and focused on God. They break down complex issues so they are easy to understand and give simple, actionable takeaways you can use NOW. Bless them for their beautiful and diligent work!

This podcast address of topics that make me wanna stick my head in the sand and hide, but they do it in a way where it almost sounds like they’re having fun. There is an optimistic hopeful energy.

I am 4 years post disclosure and I was worried there would be something I would hear that would trigger me. So far Jason and Shelley’s podcast is very validating to me. I appreciate their willingness to share their story and knowledge to us.

If you are working your way through recovery from sexual integrity issues or betrayal trauma due to sexual integrity issues, these podcasts will be a huge help to you! Even if you are like us, and have already been helped and truly blessed by reading and hearing other resources from Jason and Shelley Martincus and you’re wondering if you should take the time to listen to these podcasts, the answer is Yes! Even with all that we had already learned, these broadcasts were very much like “real life application” to what we had learned. For example, if you have been doing “all the steps” and have achieved sobriety, but there is still something missing in your marriage, perhaps it’s because you are “doing recovery” rather than “living recovery” and yes, there is a difference! You will learn this difference and lots more about how to truly heal a relationship that has been wounded and destroyed through sexual indiscretions rather than just “patching” your relationship. These podcasts have truly been a huge benefit to us, as well as other couples that we have recommended them to.

Repetition of the same concepts they promote. Nothing original - all pulled from other authors. This is only a funnel to their paid services. Yet another couple looking to make a buck off those genuinely seeking help. Take a pass on this one.

I continue to enjoy and learn from Jason and Shelley and appreciate their vulnerability in sharing their own experience. Their vulnerability, curiosity and humility teach me every time I engage with their work.
