We answer a painful question about rebuilding a marriage after years of betrayal and unfaithfulness. We talk about confronting sin honestly, removing influences that keep sexual sin and fantasy alive, surrounding your marriage with godly community, and getting biblical help when the hurt runs deep. Healing does not come from “falling back in love” but from choosing love, forgiveness, repentance, and obedience to God’s design. Even when a marriage feels dead, God can breathe life into what looks beyond repair.
QUESTIONS
- What needs to be confessed, removed, or changed in order for healing to begin in your marriage?
- How does defining love as a choice rather than a feeling change the way you respond to hurt, disappointment, or betrayal?
- What would it look like to surround your marriage with the church, wise counsel, and other supports instead of trying to heal alone?

What is The Overflow?
Welcome to The Overflow—the bonus round of faith and real-life conversation with Brandon and Susan Thomas. Every week, they unpack the powerful insights, behind-the-scenes experiences, and personal reflections that didn’t quite fit into Sunday’s sermon.
This is where the conversation gets practical, honest, and a little bit unscripted. Whether it's an encouraging word, a deeper dive into Scripture, or a hilarious moment from their week, Brandon and Susan bring fresh perspective and spiritual fuel to keep you going.
It’s real talk, fresh takes, and full hearts.
These are the conversations too good to cut and too real to miss.
