Podcasting
The purpose of the Hole in My Heart Podcast is to talk about how the gospel is good news for everyone every day.
How do they do that? The host, teacher, and author, Laurie Krieg, and her husband and licensed-therapist, Matt Krieg, partner up with Producer Steve to engage challenging topics engage in challenging topics such as shame, trauma, and anxiety.
They apply a historically biblical sexual ethic to the topics of marriage, sexuality, and porn-addiction, and funnel all those conversations through the hope-filled good news of the gospel. They laugh (and sometimes cry), but they always focused on the joyful challenge of walking with Jesus.

In a world seeking sexual wholeness yet experiencing sexual brokenness, Laurie is a breath of fresh air! Her team truly gets to the root of the problem of what’s preventing people from flourishing as sexual beings.
I love Matt and Laurie’s journey. But more than loving their journey, I love Matt and Laurie. Period … On their walk to Emmaus, the risen Christ meets and walks with them in the darkness of their despondency and confusion, listens to their dashed hopes and overflowing frustrations, and gently nudges them—and I dare say us—toward gospel hope and redemptive joy. They yield again and again. Their journey is a seesaw of lament and joy, Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday. The living God is giving Matt and Laurie what to desire—him … Like Matt and Laurie, may we all surrender to God and want what he wants.
Laurie offers an honest, vulnerable, insightful and passionate account of her own story of same-sex attraction, while at the same time remaining squarely within the biblical understanding of human sexuality AND challenging the church to do better in our care of LGBT+ members, friends and family. An inspiring speaker who will create great conversations.
