98: Speaking the Secret Breaks Its Power: overcoming emotional infidelity with Grace English Challenges Won't Stop Me
-
- Christianity
We are discussing emotional infidelity on the show today. It’s a topic no other guest has covered. During my interview with Dr. Grace English, she shared the following statistic from Shannon Ethridge’s book, Every Woman’s Battle: “More than 90% of women have had emotional thoughts of another man that’s not their spouse.” Grace explained that she has struggled with emotional infidelity for many years.
Dr. Grace English is a speaker and the director of the Deep in the Heart Conference, which is held in Texas every spring.
In Ethridge’s book, Grace learned a love-relationship addiction stems from a childhood in which you weren’t nurtured. Not having a good relationship with her parents left her with a father-daughter wound and a mother-daughter wound.
Sharing her struggles with two close friends led to her realizing that speaking her secret broke its power. In this episode, Grace explains why speaking our struggles is the first step in breaking the stronghold it has over us.
Notable quotes from this episode with Grace English:
· “Me sharing it [emotional infidelity] with a friend actually opened that door where the power of the secret is broken when it’s spoken.”
· “He [God] can’t speak truth into my life if I refuse to acknowledge the truth of what is actually happening to me.”
· “Somebody needs to speak light into the darkness. Shine the light because so many times we want to hide in the dark.”
Scripture references:
· Matthew 5:28 reads, “But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”
· 1 Corinthians 10:13 reads, “No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.”
