I had a friend say this to me recently. It broke my heart. I know talking about mental health is such a thing right now, but I'm discovering how broken our system is when it comes to this, especially in the Christian community. This is exactly why our language matters. When we say things like, "God is bigger than your depression", or "trusting God more will take away your anxiety", or "this is just a spiritual warfare issue", what we're actually doing is communicating that if this ...

Five Boundaries Necessary For Affair Recovery
I love this topic, you guys. I think I like talking about it because the idea of having boundaries in my marriage is somewhat new to me in the last few years, and it’s been life-changing for our marriage. I’d always heard of it, I knew there were books on it, I just had no idea what it should look like. Then……..my marriage fell apart. I quickly realized how necessary these boundaries would be when it came to putting our marriage back together. My biggest struggle with it all is that I ...
Proof That Your Partner’s Affair Wasn’t About You
When most women first find out that their partner had an affair or that he’s been watching porn, their initial response tends to be the same: "It must be me." Some of my first thoughts were: What did I do wrong? Am I not pretty enough? Not thin enough? Do I not have sex with him enough?? How could I let this happen? Well, I’m here to tell you that it did not have anything do with me. And it did not have anything to do with you--and I’m going to prove it to you. First let me say ...

Part Four – Starting Over
By: Cameron Sprinkle I'd never driven more than a couple hours by myself before, and I’d certainly never done it feeling like my entire life was hanging in the balance. About 500 miles later I finally made my way into the mountains of North Carolina and at long last saw the His High Places sign out front. Pulling in I knew that geographically this was the right place…but I was anxiously wondering how long it would take for me to assess if this huge decision I’d made was the right ...
Part Three – Grounds For Divorce
In the weeks following my husband’s confession of his affair and pornography addiction, somehow I began to make big decisions, get groceries, pay the bills, and claim back my home all with a clear mind. I really have no idea how it all happened other than by the grace of God interceding on my behalf. I was very scared of what was to come. I would get out of bed every morning to nurse Scarlett, and then I would sit in that rocking chair in her room trying to figure out what I was ...
Part Two – My Life As A Sex Addict
By: Cameron Sprinkle The morning after my confession to Karissa I woke up and couldn’t figure out where I was. Then I remembered that I was sleeping in a friend’s guest bed, and it hit me: what had happened the day before wasn’t a nightmare—it was reality. The emotion was similar to the moment when you wake up the morning after having a death in the family and realizing that yes, that person really is gone. That really happened. I had just devastated my wife and everyone I care ...
Part One – The Day I Took Off My Wedding Ring
Seven years of marriage. We had just celebrated our anniversary in August of 2016 feeling victorious. Close. And so hopeful for the future. Then in October we welcomed our first child after over three years of a tough battle with infertility; when she arrived in all of her glory, it was one of the most incredible moments of my life. We were thrilled to be parents to this perfect little girl, and I was so excited to finally have the family I’d fought so hard for. But as our little baby grew ...

The Missing Inmate: My Mental Health Battle
By: Cameron Sprinkle A little over two years ago I crashed and burned out of ministry, nearly losing everything I held dear in the process. It was a startling and earth-rocking wake-up call that forced me to re-examine everything about myself, including my mental health. I’m at a point now where I’m ready to share my findings and my story in hopes that other people would find the same revelations and freedom. It’s ugly, but it’s real. This post isn’t meant to be a stand-alone thesis or ...
