Tune in to this hilarious, authentic and very vulnerable conversation, with Seacoast Church Executive Pastor Josh Walters and Katie Walters CEO of Francis and Benedict.  

One of the biggest threats to a marriage today is not sexual infidelity but an emotional affair.

An emotional affair generally starts innocently when a person invests significant emotional energy and time in a close friendship outside of their marriage. It’s possible for this friendship to form an emotional bond that ultimately threatens and hurts the person’s intimacy with their spouse. For many, the most hurtful and painful consequence of a partner’s emotional cheating is the sense of being deceived, betrayed, and lied to.

Katie and Josh walk us through the emotional affair they experienced, how it started, what the signs were, how long it took and what they did to move beyond it.

Their story is a true testament to the Walter’s faithfulness and how God’s supernatural love and power makes all things new!

You will also hear and laugh about…

– How Josh invited himself onto a girls mission trip so that he could spend time with Katie.

– How Josh thought it was there 20th anniversary this year.

– How they both found out, at the same time, that they both wanted the exact same number children (hint: large family).

Happy listening, we love you!

Rebecca and Tim

  • The other night we tried to have a hard conversation on date night while sitting / TRAPPED / in a car. 😂 
At one point we looked at each other and said “we have got to get out of this car and just walk around.” 
Hard conversations done with respect and in love are not the problem, that’s growth!
Next time you need to have a hard conversation try to take a walk and see if it helps you slow down, breathe and hear one another better.
  • Feeling disconnected? So normal! However don’t let one day turn into two. Here are some easy tips that have helped us get back to that loving feeling.
  • Don’t go into the weekend defensive. 🤍

Sometimes the most loving thing you can do for your marriage is recognize, “I’m in a funk, and I don’t want to take it out on you.” Awareness is the first step. 

It is definitely a tactic of the enemy to keep you stuck in defensiveness so that you are not able to work through problems. When we committed to breaking this cycle it brought amazing benefits!
  • If you found this page, welcome. We’re so glad you’re here.

Whether your marriage is thriving or barely surviving, our prayer is that these short reels and resources would remind you that there is hope.

We don’t speak from a place of having it all together. We speak from a place of experiencing the strength and faithfulness of the Lord. We have known failure. We have walked through deep pain in our marriage. But by God’s grace, we have also experienced the healing, restoration, and abundance that Jesus paid for on the cross.

If He can restore us, He can meet you too.

We’re honored you’re here. If there’s any way we can serve or encourage you, we’d love to hear from you.
