Don't Ever Tell

Mar 3, 2021

14 min

Today Greg interviews Christy Neal about her new book, "Don't Ever Tell: A Message of Hope, Healing, and Redemption After Adultery." She shares her story of adultery where she was the adulterer, not her husband. She had to find forgiveness of the shame she brought to her family without the help of the church and without losing her faith. She offers some great advice to those in the same situation.
