I am a happily married 51 year old with an amazing 3 year old boy. I struggled for many years in my late teens early twenties with a severe drug addiction and also have had my share of troubles with pornography. My drug addiction almost sent me to prison for a long time for nearly killing a man with my car. I recently quit my job as the administrator of a church that I had been at for many years to be a stay at home dad. I have a passion to reach people with the hope of Christ and have always had a passion for those that have struggles with addictions because I personally know the incredible grip addictions can hold on us. I believe there is not only a hope but a promise of victory if we decide to follow Christ and serve Him. God’s love is intense, uncompromising and freely given. My job is to show others what God has shown me and done in me and help others live a life empowered by God.

Sex is Hardly Ever Just About Sex- Shirley McClaine
This issue is as open ended, as “How long is a piece of string?” The answer depends on which of a billion pieces of string you are talking about.
Sex is about a billion different things, and in my opinion never just about sex. Knowing who...
“Honey, I forgot to stop at the store and get milk.”
“Sweetheart, I know I have been trying to eat better, but I had two Big Macs for lunch
because they had a deal.”
“Ummm… when you were at work today, I spent 3 hours surfing porn and
masturbating.”
Which of the above scenarios would you be most afraid to tell your wife? Rather easy to say it would be the struggles with pornography. Addictions...
February, the “Love” month. It always amazes me to go to the stores these days the day after any holiday and immediately see the shelves stocked for the next holiday, no matter how far away it is. So pretty much January 2nd we are confronted with Valentine’s candy and cards and then of course the plethora of ads for the “romantic” accessories of the holidays. If you are struggling with sexual...
When a person looks at porn, whether man to woman or woman to man what does it in effect do to the object of lust?
I have to think of the intent that God intends for the act of sex to really get a picture of what that really does. God created sex to be the expression of love and healthy relationship between a man and a woman. Ultimately it is as simple as why else did God create it to be so...
I’ve asked myself the question a lot lately, “What’s happening? Why is this issue of pornography and unhealthy sexual activity so prevalent today?”
I live in northern California and I am amazed that a week doesn’t go by where I don’t read a story on the news about a teacher, coach or counselor being charged with sexual conduct with a child. I’m sure all of you have heard something about Penn...
If you are struggling with pornography there are many avenues to take to set your motivation in place. The most important I believe is to do it because God tells us to not be involved in sexual sin of any kind and we set our mind on obeying God and overcoming the temptations. But there are many other sources of motivation. I have an amazing 5-year-old boy that just started school two weeks...
Does Porn dehumanize people? Excuse me for being blunt here but if you really have to think about this you may have assumed room temperature. I just read a story a few days ago where there were about 40 arrests made across the United States and overseas involving a child porn ring that included emails sent where they talked about kidnapping and eating children. Personally, I actually almost...
The Bible tells us that one of the highest, ultimate goals that God has in store for each one of us is our transformation in Him – and this transformation is accomplished by the renewing of our mind. The Bible tells us that God wants to sanctify us and transform us into the express image of His Son Jesus Christ. He wants to make us into a better and more holy people, both on the inside and the...
Are you ready? This is going to shock you… You may think porn doesn’t affect you when it comes to dating. But what about your dates, how might it affect them?
I would hope that we can all agree that at the simplest level, dating is at least about spending time with someone you enjoy being with and hopefully having your conduct influence them in a positive way that they would like to spend more...
I’m assuming that the majority of you reading this are either here seeking some help or you know someone that needs help and you are trying to get some answers.
Any adventure for help and change begins with baby steps. What baby steps have you taken? Maybe you have taken some huge steps in faith. What have those steps been and how has it helped you in seeing some satisfaction in changing what...
