Welcome to episode 063 of Mud Stories!
This is Day 15 in the series “31 Days: What You Should Know Before An Affair“
Mud Stories is a podcast dedicated to bringing you inspiration in your muddiest moments, hope to make it through your mud, and encouragement for you to know, you are not alone.
Today I’m bringing you Part 1 of my 2-part conversation with Tray and Melody Lovvorn— podcasters, speakers, and leaders of Undone Redone. A non-profit recovery ministry, helping broken people recover from the mess of pornography, sexual addiction, or from the woundedness of betrayal.
Tray and Melody’s passion for ministry was birthed from their own brokenness when their life fell apart after eleven years of marriage. They divorced and it would be six years–and a second marriage and divorce for Melody–before they would remarry one another in 2008.
Tray and Melody now travel and lead others through recovery and into the healing that is theirs through Christ. They are the parents of four young adult children, and reside in Birmingham, Alabama with their family.
In this episode Tray and Melody share:
- Their personal mud story including brokenness, betrayal, and divorce
- Tray’s long-time struggle with porn addiction
- Melody’s prison of needing to be all things to all people
- And how they hid from one another for over ten years
They discuss:
- The lie that marriage fixes a pornography problem
- What active surrender to God and each other looks like
- How the masks we wear keep us from being known
- And how porn is really an intimacy disorder of self-medication and escape
Tray and Melody share:
- The vital importance of truth in the context of community
- How powerlessness is the entry point of the gospel
- And How becoming more like Jesus is an ongoing daily process for the rest of our lives

Jacque, I love The Grateful Song. A few weeks ago I found myself humming and singing it while biking. I tend to sing one song over and over on any given ride, usually when I need to mentally go somewhere else to take away from the “this hill is too long, I am too tired.” A song is my distraction. That day it was this song. I didn’t even realize I “knew” it! It is such a positive, catchy tune.
Thank you so much Kim..so much. When Thad had just written the concept and played it for me I loved it too. So glad it blesses you..here’s to finding our grateful song today, right where we are! xoxo
Can the song be purchased on iTunes?
