Episode 85 - Cora Dawson: How to have THAT Conversation with Your Husband
In this week’s episode we are diving into the intricate dynamics of faith and marriage, with practical wisdom from Team and Personal Mentor Cora Dawson of Restoring Connections. We begin the episode with Cora reflecting on growing up in France and how her faith has evolved over nearly three decades, sharing the contrast between the passion of fresh belief and the endurance required for a long walk with Christ.
In the second half of the episode we get to sit in on what feels like a personal coaching session with Cora, as she draws from her expertise to guide us through how to approach sensitive topics—like pornography addiction—with grace and love. Her gift for communication shines through the whole episode as she shares practical, empowering advice to help listeners navigate tough conversations, while maintaining and building connection in our relationships.
