Popular Christian vlogger had an Ashley Madison account

Sam Rader, a popular Christian vlogger, has admitted to owning an AshleyMadison.com account.

ICYMI: AshleyMadison.com is an infidelity website. Family Values activist Josh Duggar has an account as well.

Sam has also posted many videos offering advice for keeping heterosexual Christian marriage alive—“SPICING UP OUR MARRIAGE!”, “The Importance of Dating Your Spouse,” “Making Date Night Happen During Saturday Nappin’”—where he suggests taking an active role in “dating” your wife. But nowhere does he suggest dating a woman who is not your wife, which he sought to do under the Ashley Madison username “Dirtylittlesecretman28.” According to the data, Sam’s profile said he was “Looking to break the monotony” and for “outdoors exploration.” His turn-on was someone “Sneaky and cute.”

He has since put out an apology video:

Hey guys. As you may have seen, my name has been associated with an Ashley Madison account, a website made for spouses who want to have an affair. I’m here to clarify some of this with you guys, ‘cause I owe it to you.

I did make the account. I made the account two years ago. This is an issue that is in our past. This is before I got onto YouTube. I brought this to my church at the time, when I first started at the church that I’m at now; this has been brought to my discipleship partner. This was brought to my wife’s attention. She has forgiven me for this mistake that I made and opening the account. I’ve sought forgiveness to God, and he’s forgiven me. So, I’ve been completely cleansed of this sin, and also, I need to be clear that I’ve never met with a single person face to face through that website, and that I never had an affair with anybody, ever, while I’ve been married with Nia. The account was opened out of pure fleshly desires and just sinful curiosity.

Some of you are questioning my faith and, um, me being a Christian and doing this. I guess what some people don’t understand is that we’re all broken—even Christians. We come to God as broken people, and he sat upon the cross to save us from those sins. And because this is in our past, and this has already been completely resolved within my family and within my church, we won’t be saying any more on this matter. I wont be talking to any media outlets. The only place you’ll hear of this out—of our mouth—is here on this video. The only time. You know, this is why we need a savior. We’re sinful by nature, and we do stupid things like this. And this is what the atonements all about: Forgiveness and second chances.

She accepted the apology too.

And I just want to add too, guys, you know, I have forgiven Sam and I stand behind him, and this is in our past. And it’s unfortunate that its being dug up right now, but you know, our marriage is worth fighting for. And it always will be. And I just want to encourage you guys who are dealing with any kind of situation like this within your marriage to just fight for what you have. Marriage is the real deal, and it’s been sealed, and it’s worth fighting for. It always will be.
