  What happens when you love God, serve in ministry, become a pastor—and still can’t stop the addiction destroying your life?

He started understanding the connection between trauma, dysregulation, impulse, the body, and the brain. This conversation is for anyone struggling with sex addiction, pornography addiction, compulsive behavior, church shame, adoption trauma, childhood trauma, emotional dysregulation, or the exhausting cycle of doing something you desperately want to stop doing.

  Fear Was My Idol

  Jul 27, 20261h 5mS1

  What happens when fear stops being an emotion and starts controlling every decision you make? In this powerful episode of Holy Wreckage , Crystal sits down with Valerie Carter , founder of RRT Ministries: Rescued, Redeemed and Transformed , for a raw conversation about childhood trauma, spiritual realm encounters, crippling fear, addiction, disordered eating, surrender, and the healing power of Jesus Christ. Valerie shares how childhood sexual abuse and assault left her living in constant fear. That fear followed her into adulthood, affecting her sleep, relationships, parenting, friendships, and ability to leave her own home. She made decisions based on what might happen, struggled with severe anxiety and insomnia, and used over-the-counter medication to cope and find rest. Everything began to change when someone challenged Valerie with a difficult question: Had fear become her idol? After asking the Holy Spirit for the truth, Valerie recognized how often she had placed fear above her trust in God. She describes falling to her knees in repentance, surrendering the control fear had over her life, and experiencing a dramatic spiritual deliverance that allowed her to breathe, sleep, and live differently for the first time. Crystal and Valerie also have an honest conversation about the ways trauma can lead people to cope through alcohol, pills, food, sex, pornography, unhealthy relationships, eating disorders, or other addictions. These behaviors may temporarily numb the pain, but they cannot heal the wound underneath it. This conversation is for the person who loves God but still feels controlled by fear.

  When ALS Changes Everything: Finding Hope in the Middle of Unimaginable Loss

  Jul 13, 20261h 15mS1

  When ALS Changes Everything: Finding Hope in the Middle of Unimaginable Loss What would you do if the person you loved most was given just a few years to live? In this deeply moving episode of Holy Wreckage , Crystal sits down with Rachel Schneider, author of The Widow Chose Red , whose family was forever changed when her husband was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). Together they walked a heartbreaking journey of caregiving, anticipatory grief, raising two young sons, and learning what it truly means to trust God when life doesn't make sense. After 21 years of marriage, Rachel and her husband John were living the life they had always dreamed of when ALS suddenly entered their story. Over the next three years, they faced impossible decisions, watched the disease slowly take away his physical abilities, and ultimately said goodbye far too soon. Rather than allowing bitterness to define her life, Rachel chose to lean into her faith, discovering that even when miracles don't come the way we hope, God's presence never leaves. Her testimony is a powerful reminder that while suffering may change the course of your life, it never changes the faithfulness of God. Whether you're walking through grief, caring for someone with a terminal illness, navigating the loss of a loved one, or simply wondering where God is in your own season of suffering, this conversation will remind you that He is near to the brokenhearted and faithful through every step of the journey. In this episode you'll discover: • What ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) really is and how it impacts families • Walking through anticipatory grief before losing a loved one • Caring for a spouse with a terminal illness • Trusting God when healing doesn't come the way you prayed for • Helping children navigate grief after the loss of a parent • Finding gratitude, hope, and purpose in the middle of heartbreak About Rachel Schneider Rachel Schneider is the author of The Widow Chose Red , a powerful memoir chronicling her family's journey through ALS, grief, and unwavering faith. Through her ministry and platform, Spirited Prosperity, Rachel encourages others to build resilient faith, discover hope in suffering, and trust God through life's greatest challenges.

  The 5-Step Path to Forgiveness After a DNA Discovery (Part 2)

  Jun 29, 202644 minS1

  What happens after the DNA test changes everything? In Part 2 of our conversation, Andrea Lomboy shares a biblical framework for navigating the emotional and spiritual aftermath of an unexpected DNA discovery. Whether you're an NPE (Not Parent Expected), adoptee, donor-conceived, or anyone whose biological identity has been unexpectedly rewritten, this episode offers practical encouragement rooted in faith. Andrea walks through her five-step pathway to healing: • Acceptance • Grief • Personal Agency • Forgiveness • Integration Rather than encouraging listeners to "just get over it," Andrea explains why healing is a process—not a moment—and why forgiveness cannot be forced before grief has been honored. Throughout the conversation, she shares Scripture, personal experience, and practical wisdom for rebuilding identity, setting healthy boundaries, and finding peace in Christ after family secrets come to light. If you've ever wrestled with questions like: How do I forgive the people who kept this secret? Why does this hurt so deeply? How do I move forward without pretending I'm okay? Where is God in the middle of my DNA discovery? ...this episode was created with you in mind. No matter how your story began, your identity is not determined by your DNA. Your worth has never changed, and God is still writing your story. About Andrea Lomboy Andrea Lomboy is a Christian speaker, educator, and fellow NPE who is passionate about helping others find healing after unexpected DNA discoveries. Drawing from her own journey and years of biblical study, she equips individuals to navigate identity loss, grief, forgiveness, and restoration through a Christ-centered perspective.
