In this powerful episode of The Know Hope Podcast, Derek opens up about his early struggles with pornography that eventually led to a deeper sex addiction. For over 10 years, he kept his battle hidden from his wife—carrying the weight of secrecy and shame. Today, Derek shares how he found hope, healing, and nearly 9 years of sobriety.
