I am sure by some poeples account and my story that one day I just said "that's it no more porn" and it all went away. The fact of the matter is that the temptations, desires, thoughts, and images stayed with me for some time.  I even have thoughts and temptations still to this day but, I have set things up in my life to either divert my attention or eliminate these thoughts.  I have listed a...

Each parent is given the role of raising their children and teaching them the things they need to know to some day live on their own. As parents we pray that we do things right and that we do not lead our children astray in any way that will harm them.

One of the most awkward and uncomfortable discussions or lessons to teach your child is about their sexuality. Dads tend to get all nervous...

Why Is A Book About Porn Addiction Called "Surfing for God"? 

Almost a century ago, G. K. Chesterton wrote that the man who knocks on the brothel door is knocking for God. If he were writing today, he might say that the man who surfs the web for porn is surfing for God. If nothing else, this truth means that sex is a signpost to God. 

Maybe you’ve heard the saying that in a marriage the...

As men we all to often struggle with our sin and removing it from our lives. With sexual sin it can be even harder for a man to move out of the gutter and get the help that is so needed.

One of the largest issues that we have as men in allowing ourselves to move on and get that help we need is shame.

The shame that we can feel is paralyzing and can stop us right in our tracks when it comes to...

So many of you know my story here but if you do not know it please check it out here.

For many years I played the game of trying to use porn and have a good healthy sexual view of my wife. If you would have asked me several years ago if I could value my wife and still view porn? I would have told you yes. But, that simply is just not true.

If I value my wife, I will honor her in our...

Does porn really not satisfy?  I think many people would argue that it actually does satisfy and that is why they dig it.  So maybe we are into a case of semantics here.  What does it mean to be satisfied?  I have had a couple of friends tell me that they would look at porn for 8 hours at a time without a break for days in a row.  It was a full time job for them.  Would you say that they were...

You know that porn and lust are not God's best for your life. So why can't you stop?  Common wisdom says if you just had    more willpower, more accountability, or more faith, the struggle would be over. Is the answer really that simple? According to counselor and ministry leader, Michael John Cusick, the answer is no—but the truth may be much more freeing. 

In his groundbreaking new book,...

News item?  I don’t think any man who is looking to overcome the porn addiction would say that this is news to them that porn has caused them to struggle sexually.  And, it isn’t too surprising that you don’t read about that in the news.  What do we read?  Man Faces 80 Counts for Child Porn ---- Man Faces 43 Counts Involving Child Porn ------ Former Police Officer Arrested for Rape of 14 Year...

Once I choose to come clean with my wife and others about my life long struggle with pornography I had to look at ways to help over come this addiction. Accountability was my first action and a smart move to make it number one right after I confessed what I was going through. The next decision for me was what tools would I use to figure out why I did what I did and how to retrain my brain and...
