   EP 100 - Your Marriage Can Be Dying While Everything Looks Fine

   Some marriages don’t collapse in one dramaticmoment. They drift. Thomas Eberts looked successful from the outside. He had traveled the world, built businesses, studied spirituality, andpursued personal growth. But inside his home, he says he was physically present while emotionally somewhere else. Then his wife told him she wanted a divorce. In this episode of UNMASKED, Thomas talks withWesley Farnsworth about what that moment exposed: defensiveness, performance, emotional absence, and a version of masculinity that he says taught him how toaccomplish but not necessarily how to be present. Thomas shares what happened when he stoppedtrying to explain away his wife’s concerns and began listening to them differently. He also discusses how his faith in God became more concrete during the crisis, how watching The Chosen prompted him to engage more deeply withJesus and Scripture, and what rebuilding his marriage has required over time. This is not a story about a perfect husband discovering a formula. It is a conversation about confronting what isn’t working, taking responsibility for your own patterns, and learning that being in the room is not the same thing as being emotionally present. Thomas’s statements about masculinity, marriage roles, spirituality, and family leadership reflect his personalbeliefs and experience.

   EP 99 - Are You Following Jesus—or Just Practicing Religion?

   Can good religious traditions actually becomebarriers to genuine faith? Church isn’t the enemy. Scripture isn’t theenemy. Doctrine matters. Traditions can be beautiful. But sometimes we become so committed toroutines, appearances, preferences, and “the way we’ve always done things” thatwe miss the God those things were meant to point us toward. In Episode 99 of UNMASKED, Wesley Farnsworthexplores the difference between tradition, religion, and a genuine relationshipwith God. Traditions like communion, baptism, hymns, andmeaningful church services can remind us of God’s faithfulness. The problemcomes when we protect traditions more fiercely than we pursue Jesus—or when ourmethods quietly become the mission. This episode explores: • Why tradition itself isn’t the enemy • What happens when church preferences becomesacred • Religion’s focus on appearances • Why Jesus challenged religious leaders • How spiritual masks develop • Why people can hide serious struggles inchurch • The difference between obedience and earningGod’s love • Rules, holiness, relationship, and grace • Spiritual comparison • Discernment versus defending personalpreference • External behavior versus hearttransformation • What healthy faith looks like Wesley also connects this directly to theheart of UNMASKED. Living unmasked requires honesty. But honestycan feel threatening when religious culture prioritizes appearances. If youhave to look like you have everything together, you may never admit you needhelp. If you believe God only accepts polished people, you can spend your wholelife polishing instead of healing. Jesus never invited people to impress Him. He invited them to follow Him. If religion has wounded you, this episode alsooffers an important distinction: imperfect people and a perfect Savior are notthe same thing. Someone’s misuse of religion does not have to keep you from therelationship Jesus invites you into. The episode closes with one question worthsitting with: Is there anything in your faith you’re doingsimply because it’s what you’ve always done—without stopping to ask whether itis actually drawing you closer to Jesus?

   EP 98 - She Became the Addict She Swore She’d Never Be

   Content Note: The episode includes discussion of childhood sexual abuse, addiction, opioid misuse, suicidal thoughts and attempts, family trauma, and recovery. Jennifer Chase grew up determined that addiction would never become her story. She was the daughter and granddaughter of alcoholics. She experienced instability, shame, and childhood sexual abuse. Then, after a life-threatening brain tumor and surgery left her with chronic pain, prescribed opiates became the coping mechanism she says finally made her feel comfortable in her own skin. The addiction lasted 14 years. Then Jennifer learned that her son had become addicted to the opiates in their home. In Episode 98 of UNMASKED, Jennifer joins Wesley Farnsworth to talk about addiction from three perspectives: the child of an alcoholic, the person living in addiction, and the mother of a recovering addict. Jennifer explains why, in her experience, “substance was always the solution to the problem,” and why sobriety alone could not heal the trauma, shame, and belief that she was fundamentally unlovable. She shares how treatment, community, surrender, and faith changed her recovery—and why accountability continues years after the substance is gone. We also explore the other side of addiction: loving someone you desperately want to save. Jennifer discusses codependency, enabling, consequences, and boundaries. She explains why a boundary should protect your peace rather than manipulate someone else into changing, and why rescuing a loved one from every consequence can sometimes prolong the very problem you are trying to solve. Finally, Jennifer shares how her relationship with God changed the way she sees herself and why healing required learning she could not do it alone.
