When you hear the word “honesty,” what comes to mind? Is it a simple binary—you either tell the truth or you don’t?

Or do you see it on a sliding scale, where a “little white lie” is a 2 and a deliberate, premeditated deception is a 10?

If your marriage has been shattered by porn-fueled infidelity, you know the brutal truth: the lies and deception surrounding the acting out are often more destructive to trust than the acts themselves.

In this powerful second part of our conversation, We recap the five ways we lie from last week—commission, omission, deflection, justifying, and gaslighting—and dive deep into how embracing rigorous honesty can pave the way for trust and healing.

Join us as we unpack what this kind of honesty looks like, how to attain it, and how it impacted our recovery process.

We pray this blesses you,

Johnny and Emily
