Kristina Croft
A graduate of Florida Southern College with a Bachelor’s in Sociology and
Psychology, I had great aspirations to be involved in social work and, (if
I was feeling particularly adventurous) doing psych evals for the FBI. But
the Lord showed me that my true calling was at home. To be a wife and a
mother. Something that has proven to be much more challenging and rewarding than any job I could have acquired through my collegiate studies.
I married my high school sweetheart, Gavin, in 2002. Together we have two beautiful children, Savanna and Samuel, and twins on the way, Gracie and Gideon. I absolutely adore the time I have with them each day and pray that God will continue to allow me the amazing privilege to be a stay-at-home mom.
A while back I started my website, www.Isaiah53ministry.org, and began
blogging about my experience with sexual betrayal and how Christ came in to heal the broken parts of my heart and our marriage. My husband confessed and repented of his addiction to pornography in June 2010 and since that time God has made some incredible transformations; not only in my husband and in our marriage, but in me as well. I feel called to share our story, victories, and struggles with others to offer them encouragement as they work through the pain of sexual betrayal towards healing. My hope is
that we can help others come to the realization that Jesus Christ not only
pardons our sin, but He wants to heal our deepest pain as well. By His
wounds we are healed.

When my husband first revealed his secret life of porn addiction and an emotional affair with another woman, my initial reaction was to hide. I didn’t want anyone to know. I felt as though there’s a certain stigma related to the wife of a sex addict...
“She must not satisfy him.”
“What’s wrong with her that he has to look at porn?”
“Maybe she’s just boring.”
(In fact, I’ve even had a random...
How would you respond if your husband refused to repent or seek help for his addiction?
“I would end my marriage and find Christian therapy on my own and try to heal.”
“At this point in our journey, I would take that to mean he wanted his addiction more than his family. I would probably separate from him for a time.”
“… I would need to protect myself and my kids. I would have to leave for a...
The M Word. We all know it. No one likes to talk about it. And especially hate to admit to it. It stirs up controversy and feelings of guilt. Some people laugh about it and make it the butt of their jokes. It’s been studied by Christian and secular scientists alike, both coming up with opposing views as to its affects and benefits. It’s something that people have debated for and against using...
Whether you’re new the chaos of sexual sin in your marriage or you’re all too familiar with the destructiveness of it, there are usually signs that your husband may be struggling with sexual addiction (or addictions of any kind for that matter). As wives, we need to be in tune to our husband’s spiritual, emotional, and physical behaviors and attitudes so that we can be the wife God created us...
Jesus teaches accountability in Scripture, not to bring punishment, shame, or guilt, but to uplift grace and bring glory to the Father.
God’s grace is about honor and freedom, not bondage. Grace is unmerited and inspiring. It’s compassionate and merciful, not condemning. How can accountability be anything less than that? Too often we allow Satan to distort our view of accountability with God...
When the world ponders sex and pleasure, most often genuine intimacy is buried beneath a mountain of sinful acts and shameful motives. The driving force in the pursuit of sexual pleasure has become something centered on novelty, bizarre and mysterious acts, masturbation, and even inflicting or receiving pain. Society continues to go further and further in their quest for the ultimate high,...
