Our Story
Our story confirms what a wise person once said, “Adversity introduces us to ourselves.” If we were given pen and paper to write our story, things would have been very different from what you will see and read here. We would have carefully avoided the intense pain that was so necessary for our healing. We are so thankful for God’s faithfulness, goodness, and grace.
The picture on the left is from our first wedding in 1992 and the picture on the right is from our second wedding in 2008.
Melody and I were married for 11 years before my struggle with pornography and sexual addiction ripped our family apart. This tragic upheaval left both of us reeling and disrupted our status quo, to say the least. The appearance of the “perfect” life that we both worked so hard to maintain came crashing down all around us.
After 6 years of divorce, we were remarried.
