Religion Latte Podcast: **Candid discussion about sex and porn addiction (Warning: Adults Only Conversation) Greg and Stacey Oliver, former leaders in their church -- Greg was a music minister and Stacey, a dutiful pastor's wife -- never believed they would one day open Awaken, a counseling organization dedicated to ministering and assisting people with sex and porn addiction. But years after Greg devastated his family by getting fired from his church for a secret porn and sex addiction, which came to light via an unintentional email, the couple spent YEARS in counseling to repair the damage. Betrayal, infidelity, shame, pain, secrecy ... this would be difficult for any couple to weather! But today the Olivers are not only stronger, more candid, and entirely transparent about their marriage, they've also become mighty advocates for promoting safe dialog about sex in and out of the church, and help guide churches and ministerial staff on how they can encourage those with sex and porn addiction to come forward and can seek help without shame or judgement. They have also become certified counselors, dedicating their lives to helping others with similar addictions through their organization Awaken. If you've ever wanted to hear a candid a talk about sex, or if you or someone you know has ever struggled with a sex addiction, you don't want to miss this episode.

Religion Latte Podcast: For 35 years, Pulitzer Prize-nominated photographer, Ron St. Angelo, photographed the impressive Dallas Cowboys dancing and moving, passing and tackling atop the gridiron. He's acclaimed for shooting football legends such as Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, Michael Irvin, Herschel Walker, among many others, as well as the beloved Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders. St. Angelo's decades of service with the team also garnered three Super Bowl rings and several best selling books, including Best Team Ever. As a devout Catholic, attending Latin Mass each week (save for the pandemic) he uses his photographic talent to capture moments of divine action both in and outside of the church. He recently dedicated a collection of Sacred photos to the Dallas Diocese. And they're as as action-packed as any pro football game.

Religion Latte Podcast: South African astronomer, Dr. David Block, is a preeminent scientist, mathematician and professor. His research has twice been featured on the cover of the prestigious scientific journal Nature, something only a handful of scientists in the world have ever achieved. Block was raised an Orthodox Jew, and it was while researching and teaching astronomy to another scientist when he first started to wonder, "Is God real?" Only a few months later, Block became a believer in Jesus, a messianic Jew, and he now uses his career and Orthodox upbringing to talk about Jesus throughout the world. So go grab a cup of hot tea or coffee, and let's begin our Saturday coffee chat with our new friend, Dr. Block.
