Most people don’t know what to do after an affair—especially in the church, where people suffer quietly and don’t know where to go. In this episode, I sit down with Rick Reynolds (founder of Affair Recovery), and we talk about his own story of betrayal, addiction, a vision, and what actually helps couples heal.

We unpack betrayal trauma (and why intrusive thoughts don’t mean you’re “crazy”), why trickle-truth keeps re-injuring the relationship, what the betrayed spouse needs early on, and why a legit recovery timeline is closer to 18–24 months—not a couple weeks and a “sorry.”

Also, a reminder that if you’re dealing with this topic right now, you’re not alone—and there’s a path forward.

Enjoy

Thanks for watching, and God bless.

The Briefcase & The Barn is hosted by two Dutch Reformed misfits who’ve spent most of their lives in the church’s side-eye.

Kyle Van Ruitenburg is the PK and connections guy who’s been around the world (and yes—straight off the boat). Gary Baars is the money guy who’s been around just about every farm and cow.

Together, they have blunt, funny, real talk about business, life, faith, culture, and the stuff Christians usually don't talk about.

Recorded on the west coast of Canada in Chilliwack, BC.

New episodes every Wednesday at 5 am PST.

Created & produced by *The Furiously Curious Company.*
