Today's interview is a special one as we dive deep into a recent recovery story that has taken place in the DeepClean community. Stories like these are important for all of us to hear – it reminds us that God is on the move NOW and that freedom is possible for everyone. Leshan and his wife were fighting daily, sometimes going days without speaking to each other, and even getting into physical altercations. His patience was thin, temper was high, and porn was driving much of his problemed behavior. Getting professional help felt risky and as he shares in today's interview, Leshan had his doubts, but he knew that something had to change. With each lesson and session, hope began to rise, until one day his wife remarked that he wasn't short with her the way he usually was. That's when he realized the tide was turning. Six months of freedom later, Leshan and his wife have never been happier, and he feels confident that he will be able to walk further into God's calling on his life.

Today's episode explores the unique counter-play between emotional danger and psychological safety. Often we find comfort in the familiar, even when the familiar is toxic and working against us.

This irony can often cause us to stay in what's comfortable, even though it is problematic. However, when you become aware of the dynamic, you can find a much better option to handle the changes that come with recovery.
