Struggling in secret with porn or sexual addiction? Blaine Bartel shares his raw 23-year battle, how confession changed everything, and why freedom is possible. Visit http://barryshore.com to get your free copy of my eBook, The Joy of Living: You Deserve It.

If you have ever felt trapped by a secret you were too ashamed to tell anyone, this episode will meet you right where you are. Barry Shore sits down with Blaine Bartel — author, speaker, and founder of House of Resurrection — for one of the most honest conversations the Joy of Living podcast has ever aired.

Blaine opens up about a 23-year hidden battle with pornography and sexual addiction that ran beneath a thriving public ministry. Starting with a single, impulsive moment in a hotel room at age 28, he describes how one choice to cover up rather than confess set off decades of shame, a double life, and eventually the destruction of his first marriage. He was suicidal, hated the man he saw in the mirror, and kept believing he could stop alone — until he couldn't.

What finally broke the cycle was what Blaine calls the terrifying grace of God — a confrontation that forced full confession to his family, his church, and himself. The road to freedom cost him his career, his finances, and nearly his relationships with his three sons. Yet today, after years of counseling, community, and deep personal work, he has been free for nearly 15 years.

Blaine explains the crucial difference between guilt and shame — guilt says "I did wrong" and drives you toward help, while shame says "I am wrong" and drives you into isolation. Understanding that difference, he says, is often the first step out of the trap.

Through House of Resurrection, Blaine and his wife Lori now offer residential freedom intensives and year-long coaching for men, ministers, and marriages in crisis — with an 80–85% freedom rate in the first year. Whether your struggle is pornography, alcohol, or any hidden addiction, Blaine's message is clear: you are not alone, and resurrection is real.

Blaine Bartel is an author, speaker, and founder of House of Resurrection, a nonprofit ministry dedicated to helping men, ministers, and marriages find freedom from sexual addiction and brokenness.

In this powerful episode of The Joy of Living, Barry Shore welcomes Debra, a spiritual entrepreneur, transformational event producer, and longtime advocate for holistic living. Together, they explore the power of transformation, purposeful living, healing, and making a meaningful difference in the world.

Debra shares her journey from discovering her life’s calling to creating the Harmony Festival, a transformational event that brought together music, holistic health, spirituality, environmental awareness, women’s empowerment, indigenous wisdom, and community. She explains how transformational experiences can help people connect with their “soul tribe” and leave with a renewed sense of purpose and inspiration.

The conversation also dives deeply into personal challenges, healing, self-responsibility, and the importance of being willing to give and receive. Barry and Debra discuss the power of making conscious decisions, practicing discipline and determination, shifting perspective, gratitude, service, freedom, and transformation as an ongoing process rather than a single event.

If you're seeking personal growth, purpose, spiritual awakening, holistic wellness, meaningful connection, and a more transformational way of living, this episode offers powerful insights and inspiration.
