About this episode
What do you do when your spouse’s past sins still frustrate your present? When forgiveness has been given, but you find yourself still losing your peace and thinking about it? In this episode, John Heinen and Devin Schadt confront a painful and often-unspoken challenge in marriage, how to find peace, confidence, and love when your spouse’s past continues to echo in your life. They discuss why sexual sin leaves such deep scars, how comparison poisons peace, and how Christ’s mercy can restore both love and trust.
Today, they share the theology, psychology, and practical steps that lead to freedom. Whether you’re haunted by your spouse’s past or your own, this episode reveals how God can make what was wounded whole again.
