Goliath's Decapitated Head and What it Has To Do With Pornography

Goliath's Decapitated Head and What it Has To Do With Pornography

- - - In the story of David and Goliath in 1 Samuel 17 there are many lessons to be learned about standing up to our giants, about our faith in God, and about how you NEVER defy the Lord of Hosts, the God of the armies of Israel. Now besides being an incredible story with some of the most blood pumping dialogue in all of scripture, there is are some intentional things that David does here that can teach us about how to defeat our enemies, namely pornography addiction.

Two Lessons We Learned About PORN at the TRU Conference

Two Lessons We Learned About PORN at the TRU Conference

- - - This past weekend Chris and I were privileged to speak at the TRU Conference in Norman, Oklahoma. Our mutual friend invited us to speak on the subject of pornography, its effects, and how we can go about fixing the problem (click here for the audio). A lot of men and women showed up to both sessions and many of them sat down with us to share their own stories and struggles with porn. Through these conversations, Chris and I were able to shift from being the teachers to

3 Bad Habits That Can Kill a Marriage

3 Bad Habits That Can Kill a Marriage

- - - We all have habits, whether its biting your nails, your morning coffee, or doodling on the margins of your notebook. There are things in our lives that have been woven into the fabric of who we are by repetition and time that most of us do these things without even thinking about what we are doing. Some of these things are good and they help us stay on track and work to better ourselves. Others can be rather nasty and tear down rather than build us up. We all have w

4 Reasons to NEVER Talk About Porn in Church

4 Reasons to NEVER Talk About Porn in Church

- - - 1) My church doesn’t look at porn. I mean, I guess you could look at the stats in a negative light. Sure, the numbers say that 64% of Christian men and 15% of Christian women view pornography at least once a month but surely that is not happening in your church. The men and women you worship along side are stronger and more mature than those who struggle with this sin in other churches. In another study, they found that 13.9% of young men never view pornography. I t

How to confess your secret sin

How to confess your secret sin

- - - If you have struggled with porn or keeping any secret from a significant other, you know that telling them or confessing can be one of the scariest things you could ever do in a relationship. Your heart beings to race, you get a lump in your throat, and you might even feel like passing out when the times comes to confess. What makes things worse is knowing how your spouse is going to take the news. Will there be crying? Most likely. Will you have broken the trust h

4 Vital Attitudes To Rebuild Your Marriage

4 Vital Attitudes To Rebuild Your Marriage

- - - After 13 years of marriage I wouldn’t say that I am an expert when it comes to marriage, but I do feel like I know awful lot about the subject. I can say this, not because of my ability to perfectly navigate every circumstance that has come our way but because we (I) have made a lot of mistakes along the way in those 13 years. With all of that set aside, I am confident in saying that trust and respect are the foundation on which a good marriage is built. Trust and re

3 Steps For When You Fall

3 Steps For When You Fall

- - - Over the years and countless group meetings there are two things that are very apparent to me at this point in my journey: 1) There will always be a people needing recovery from porn/sex addiction, and 2) There will always be setbacks as people recover. One of my favorite verses in the Bible is Proverbs 24:16: “for the righteous falls seven times and rises again, but the wicked stumble in times of calamity.” (ESV) This is such a perfect picture of what rec

4 Facts Your Kids Won't Tell You About the Internet

- - - The internet is a wondrous invention. With it we now of the opportunity to communicate at an unprecedented level and we have more information at our fingertips than ever before. Without the internet you wouldn’t be reading this article right now and you couldn’t laugh at all the funny videos on YouTube when you should be working. However, as we all know, the internet has a dark side to it and has exposed an entire generation to a new level of temptation. Researchers

The "Sexth Sense"

The "Sexth Sense"

- - - I recently watched “Sixth Sense” after having not seen it in many years. I was struck again by the boy’s torturous struggle. He keeps the secret that he sees dead people (ghosts) because he doesn’t want anyone looking at him like he is a freak. He especially shields his mother from it despite the agony it causes him to fight his struggle alone. He is constantly terrified and isolated. The boy eventually feels compelled to confess the secret to his therapist after a “roc

The Lasting Effects of Pornography

The Lasting Effects of Pornography

Choosing to quit your addiction to pornography can be quite the struggle. Your brain and body will fight against you heavily as you work towards purging your porn watching habits from your life. As a result, it’s not uncommon for people to relapse a few weeks or even days after trying to quit. The changes that pornography and, along with it, masturbation have on your brain isn’t something that clears up over night. Both your body and mind have to go through a transition proce

4 Ways to Develop a Shame-Free Church

4 Ways to Develop a Shame-Free Church

Personal story time: When Alicia and I were newly weds and my porn problem became apparent not only were we trying to figure out this crisis in our lives but we felt very much alone in our struggle. The women that Alicia reached out to for help were not very equipped to help the situation and were almost shaming in a since. We have encountered this quite often in our ministry to help those who were in the same boat as we were; afraid to confess or reach out for help in fear

5 Surefire Ways to Raise a Porn Addict

In the time that I have been doing this Overcome ministry I have talked to many parents who want to know what they can do to help their kids as they mature and are exposed to pornography. I think it is important to point out that I am not talking about prevention in the sense of ways to keep your kids from seeing porn. That will be a different article and parents need to have a realistic expectation in regard to 100% prevention because the odds of your kids never seeing por

Porn is Fake, And It’s About to Get Worse

Celebrity sex tapes aren’t a rarity, but over the last few weeks there’s been an extreme uptick in celebrities starring in pornographic films. Why the sudden increase? Technology. The celebrities starring in these movies aren’t actually in them at all… at least, not physically. A recent Reddit thread (which has been removed as of this post) has been posting a series of porn clips with celebrity faces overlaid on the actual women in the films. This overlaying is created with a
