Sarah Matzke was your typical, young, married, suburban woman. Nestled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, she was just starting out her life with her husband. Except, she had a secret.

She was secretly having an affair with her husband’s best friend.

That secret was eating away at her, until she eventually came clean. But was it too late for her marriage to be saved? What did she need to realize about herself? And what small compromises years earlier lead to a full-blown affair?

In Episode 15 of “That Was Stupid,” Sarah joins to talk about:

  • The lies she believed

  • How an eating disorder at a young age set the stage for more compromises later

  • How she overcame an eating disorder

  • The moment she confessed to her husband her affair with his best friend

  • The journey back to restoration

  • The truth she needed to replace the lies she believed for years

  • Her new book detailing it all, “Desert Vineyards”

  • And more!

Sarah’s bio:

Sarah Matzke is the mother of five growing boys. With her husband, JP, she is raising their homemade basketball team in a small suburban town just outside of Denver, Colorado.

She loves traveling, paddleboarding, and reading books, especially people's true stories. Her own personal story of God's redemption and grace through trials of an eating disorder, adultery, and infertility has given her a platform to encourage God's people to replace Satan's lies with the truth of Jesus.

You can find out more about Sarah and read her writing on her blog called “Giggles to Glory.”
