Last week, a viral kiss cam clip exposed an affair between two executives at a Coldplay concert—and the internet had a field day. Some laughed. Some were outraged. Others brushed it off.
But it got me thinking.
Not just about public scandal… but about what leads to it. Affairs don’t start with a kiss. They start with emotional drift. Neglected intimacy. Hidden shame. And in this episode of Unfeigned Christianity, I unpack two reflections from the Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot story:
- Sin destroys intimacy.
- Intimacy takes work.
We often think we’re immune to that kind of fall. But truth is, many of us are just not on camera yet. In this episode, I share from personal experience and biblical reflection on why fighting for emotional, spiritual, and physical intimacy in marriage matters—and how unchecked shame and disconnection can lead to breakdown.
Whether you’re married, single, or somewhere in between—this is an invitation to look inward.
🎧 Listen in. Then let me know what you’ve been learning about intimacy.
