Overcoming Infidelity

From the cohosts of the popular Lights On podcast comes a raw and unflinching road map to relational restoration for couples struggling to survive the tumultuous journey of infidelity and betrayal.

At the height of his career, celebrity pastor Carl Lentz’s extramarital affair was splashed across the nation’s headlines, leaving his seemingly perfect marriage and career in ruins. In Overcoming Infidelity, the Lentzes share their unfiltered journey to rekindle their love and the wisdom they learned along the way.

While deeply vulnerable and filled with gripping narrative, this book is no mere memoir. It’s a practical road map for how to restore trust and truly heal. Guiding readers through ten critical conversations that arise in the aftermath of infidelity, the Lentzes give readers a highly practical framework for navigating the biggest questions every hurting couple must wrestle with, including: Can we ever trust again? How do we tell our kids? Will the pain ever go away?

Overcoming Infidelity offers readers hope through a bold promise—it’s possible to build a marriage that’s even better than before—paired with the practical tools and spiritual wisdom to realize it. It’s an urgently needed roadmap for anyone whose marriage has fractured under pressure and suspect leaving might not be God’s best ending to their love story.
