Monty's Journey: Breaking Free Through Christ-Centered Healing

In this special episode of One by One, hosts Nick and Austin welcome Monty, who courageously shares his battle with addiction, infidelity, and spiritual emptiness that nearly destroyed his marriage with high school sweetheart Whitney. Monty reveals how his years working in a jail environment contributed to his spiritual decline while the adversary gradually pulled him deeper into destructive behaviors. The conversation tracks his internal war between natural inclinations and spiritual promptings, including moments of clarity he initially ignored and the experiences that finally opened him to genuine change. With refreshing honesty, Monty describes how finding Christ-centered guidance helped him reconnect with his true identity as a son of God rather than remaining trapped in self-defeating labels. Nick and Austin highlight how this transformation exemplifies breaking generational chains while contrasting traditional therapy approaches with spiritual healing. This episode offers hope for listeners feeling stuck in patterns of addiction or shame, showing that transformation happens when the Savior enters our healing journey.
