]]> 065 | Why 90% of Christians Get Stuck (The 10 Stops): From "Christianity" to True Surrender and Love LifeWorks Counseling 00:37:01 Why do so many Christians feel stuck in a cycle of "Churchianity" without ever experiencing true transformation? Today, Ben Derrick joins Roane and Eva Hunter to break down the "10 Stops" of the Christian journey and explain why 90% of believers stall out before reaching deep intimacy with God. If you’ve ever felt like your faith is "a mile wide and an inch deep," this conversation is for you. We explore the critical role of personal brokenness, the "dark night of the soul," and how the very things we try to hide—like addiction and betrayal—can actually become the gateway to a profound love for God.

]]> 064 | Post-Traumatic Growth: Recovering the Life God Intended LifeWorks Counseling 00:40:57 Overcoming addiction through faith and spirituality requires more than just survival; it requires a journey toward post-traumatic growth. In this episode, Ben, Roane, and Eva discuss the critical difference between being "traumatized" by emotional distress and experiencing the real, unprocessed trauma that often sits at the core of the addiction recovery path. Ben shares his powerful "Saving Private Ryan" analogy about the necessity of getting off the beach of survival to find true healing. Eva introduces her practical "Three Circles" tool for emotional regulation and self-care, while Roane challenges the culture of "victim mode," reminding us that while we must walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we are not meant to camp there. In this episode, you’ll discover: Healing Journey Insights: Why "deep meets deep" and how to find the 2% of the community that can truly see and hold your story. Emotional Regulation: Practical tools like EMDR and self-care circles to help you stay within your "window of tolerance." Spiritual Transformation: How the valley is not just a place of pain, but the primary location for transformation and recovering the life God intended for you. Join us as we connect the dots between our backstories and our future growth, finding the "living water" that emerges only when we are willing to be truly seen.

]]> 63 | Honesty vs Transparency LifeWorks Counseling 00:40:03 What’s the difference between honesty and transparency—and why does it matter so much in relationships touched by betrayal, addiction, or emotional disconnection? Honesty answers questions. Transparency builds intimacy. In this episode of the Sex, God, and Chaos Podcast, Ben Derrick sits down with Roane and Eva Hunter to unpack a deceptively simple idea that often causes deep confusion: honesty is answering when asked, but transparency is telling the truth without being asked. Together, they explore how withholding, vagueness, emotional flooding, anger, silence, and lack of self-awareness quietly erode intimacy—and how vulnerability, awareness, and consistent action can begin to restore it. Drawing from decades of personal experience and clinical work, the conversation moves through masculinity and initiation, betrayal trauma, emotional regulation, childhood wounds, and why growth after trauma is possible—but never automatic. This episode is especially for couples who feel “stuck,” mismatched in growth, or unsure how to move forward when transparency feels risky or unfamiliar.

]]> 062 | Organizing the Chaos LifeWorks Counseling 00:45:54 In this episode of Sex, God, & Chaos, Ben and Roane open up about the realities of chaos, betrayal, addiction, and the long road toward healing. After reflecting on near-death experiences, friendship, and gratitude, they unpack three phases of recovery—from the disorienting early days of emotional upheaval to the deeper work of dependence, community, and spiritual transformation. Roane introduces Dallas Willard’s VIM framework (Vision, Intention, Means) to illustrate how people begin the journey toward wholeness, while Ben challenges listeners to recognize why so many get stuck in the early phase and never move forward. Together they describe what a truly healthy, integrated person looks like—someone who lives with peace, awareness, humility, and relational depth. Whether you’re facing betrayal trauma, walking through addiction recovery, or simply seeking emotional and spiritual maturity, this conversation offers clarity, hope, and a practical path toward bringing order to the chaos.

Whether you’re facing betrayal trauma, walking through addiction recovery, or simply seeking emotional and spiritual maturity, this conversation offers clarity, hope, and a practical path toward bringing order to the chaos. false full 62 7177bc23-3388-4f74-9a19-c7afbe05f3b4 061 | Rethinking Grace in Recovery #BetrayalRecovery #MarriageHealing #GraceAfterBetrayal #ChristianRecovery #EmotionalHealth #SexAddictionRecovery #RelationshipRepair #AddictionHealing #TraumaRecovery #MensRecovery #WomensRecovery #ShameHealing #AuthenticGrace #SpiritualBypass #ChristianMarriage #IntimacyRecovery #RecoveryPodcast #FaithAndHealing

They explore shame, ownership, community, the order of grace, and why healing requires connection—not platitudes.

With stories from recovery, practical emotional tools, and a raw look at how God gives meaning to our pain, this episode is a masterclass in honest faith and healing. 🎧 Topics include: • The danger of chasing approval • How shame hijacks identity • Finding significance beyond performance • Emotional regulation and mindfulness in recovery • Why God calls you significant—no matter your past If you’ve ever felt unseen, unworthy, or stuck in performance mode, this episode is for you. #FaithRecovery #ChristianPodcast #MensHealing #SpiritualGrowth #EmotionalHealth #OvercomingShame #TrueSignificance #FaithAndMentalHealth #AddictionRecovery #AuthenticFaith #GraceOverGuilt #HealingJourney #PurposeDrivenLife #ChristianMen #TransparencyInFaith #FaithBasedRecovery #MeaningAndSignificance #InnerHealing #JesusCenteredRecovery #VulnerabilityWins In this powerful conversation, Ben and Roane unpack the difference between meaning and significance—why knowing what something means isn’t the same as understanding why it matters.

]]> 028 The Remembering One Ben Derrick, Roane Hunter 00:47:36 In this thought-provoking podcast episode, the host delves into the concept of masculinity and its roots in the biblical narrative from Genesis. The interviewee passionately emphasizes that understanding masculinity is foundational to the broader themes of "sex god" and "chaos." They argue that this discussion is about uncovering the fundamental truths about human nature and the original design intended for men. The discussion centers on the biblical passage from Genesis that states, "God created them male and female," with a particular focus on the Hebrew word "Zakar," which translates to "the remembering one." Roane and Ben highlight how this word carries a verb connotation related to action. They argue that masculinity can be distilled into one word: "initiate." Masculine individuals are seen as initiators, not just in the physical sense but also in relationships and emotions. Roane acknowledges the common misconception that providing materially for one's family is enough, often leading to neglect of emotional and relational aspects. Additionally, they critique the prevalence of passive men and the anger that can result in women due to these passive dynamics. This episode provides a unique perspective on masculinity, drawing from biblical origins and challenging conventional notions. Listeners are encouraged to reflect on the role of initiation and active engagement in their own lives and relationships, redefining masculinity beyond traditional stereotypes.

]]> 021 Lyschel Burket | Healing in Community Roane Hunter, Lyschel Burket, Ben Derrick 00:29:06 In this episode, we dive into the importance of community for women experiencing trauma in their relationships. Lyschel Burket of Hope Redefined shares that every woman's journey is different, but when given the opportunity to step into safe community, the ability to get back to a place of safety and stabilization is much shorter. Many women who navigate this in isolation or in unhealthy communities prolong their pain. Although spouses can contribute to their partner's healing, they cannot heal them. Lyschel emphasizes the need for women to recognize that healing can come from being in a safe community and experiencing empathy from others who understand what is going on.

]]> 019 The Arousal Template Ben Derrick, Roane Hunter 00:51:17 In this episode, Roane & Ben discuss the arousal template as a framework for understanding sexual desire. The arousal template refers to the unique set of experiences that facilitate sexual desire and response. It is shaped by a combination of biological, psychological, and cultural factors, and varies greatly from person to person. Roane and Ben explore different components of the arousal template, including fantasies, psychological arousal, and contextual factors. Additionally, they discuss ways of understanding one's own arousal template and how self-awareness can help in improving sexual experiences and communication with partners. This episode also digs into common misconceptions about sexual desire and arousal, including the idea that it is solely driven by biological factors or that everyone has the same preferences. Understanding and respecting the unique arousal template of oneself and others can lead to more fulfilling sexual experiences and relationships.

]]> 018 Helper Trauma Roane Hunter, Ben Derrick 00:54:39 In this episode, we explore the unintended harm caused by well-intentioned helpers from pastors to counselors to peers. We discuss stories of individuals seeking guidance from helpers only to receive harmful advice. We unpack the idea that these individuals, in fact, may not have received helpful support but instead, were traumatized by it. The episode also sheds light on how certain Bible passages or myths that exist in the Church can be taken out of context and cause more harm than good. Roane and Ben call this unhelpful intervention, "helper trauma." This episode is for anyone seeking guidance, as well as those who wish to better understand the potential harm caused by helpers who may not have the necessary knowledge or training. Join us as we uncover the broader range of problems that can arise when people seek help and instead receive harm.
