    Men’s Journey Workshop

    The Men's Journey Workshop is for men who are struggling to control their unwanted sexual behavior. Men may or may not see themselves as sexual “addicts” (a term that is often misunderstood). Our workshop attendees are often dealing with a variety of sexual behaviors – ranging from fantasy, pornography use to compulsive masturbation, prostitution, affairs, and various fetish behaviors. The symptoms or manifestations of sexual struggle may vary, but the underlying spiritual and emotional issues and recovery processes are universal.

    Women’s Journey Workshop

    A 3-day weekend event for women who are in a relationship with a sexual addict or a husband struggling with compulsive sexual behavior and/or infidelity. This intensive workshop includes small and large group opportunities to work on betrayal trauma, grieving, understanding addiction, exploring family of origin issues, coping, vision, and personal growth. We specialize in working with couples struggling with sexual purity and betrayal of trust. We believe that we have created a safe, Christian environment for women to share and learn from our therapists who have personally lived through the pain of addiction and thrived in their marriages.

    Couples' Journey Workshop

    Faithful & True’s Couples’ Workshop is based on the book, Seven Desires by the late Dr. Mark Laaser, D.Min. Ph.D., and his wife, Debbie Laaser, MA, LMFT. They have both written books on recovery from sexual addiction and infidelity both as individuals, and as a couple. The Couples’ Journey Workshop is facilitated by Dr. Greg Miller, M.Div., D.Min. and his wife, Beth Miller, MA, together with Susie Smidt, M.A., LMFT and Dr. Russ Smidt, MD/Family Life Coach. The Millers and Smidts represent the hope that your marriage can not only survive, but, can thrive.
