[display_podcast]

Today we are playing the first part of our conversation with Melissa Haas, author of the L.I.F.E. Guide for Spouses, a book for spouses of sexual addicts.

While Melissa and her husband Troy served on the mission field in Africa, Troy committed adultery, and when the truth came forward, this brought the reality of Troy’s sexual addiction into the light. Today Melissa tells us about this discovery impacted her. She also talks about the journey of healing they took together.

(Listen to Part 2 of her interview)

Music for today’s podcast is “The Fire and the Knife” by The Difficulty

    The link to part 1 of this interview seems to be missing. Part 2 is available but I’m not finding part 1.

  2. Hi Melissa In Africa we truly wronged u! Sorry n thank you for all the support and help u offered to me as a person,blessings

  3. Melissa!

    Wow! It was great to listen to your story. The thought that came to me as I listened to talk about how God didn’t need a PR agent was that you’re now in a different ministry in which God can use you to touch people that only you can touch.

    I just had a lady ask me for help and support for spouses. I hadn’t put much thought into it because I am not married, but I sent her to your story.

    May God bless you in your new honesty in your marriage and life!

    JR
