First off, if you struggle with porn this part is for you. Alright let’s go.
It’s really easy when you are someone who struggles with porn to fall into the trap of trying to fix yourself. So you try and read the Bible more or pray more and act really Holy. But most of the time we run out of steam and end up back at square one.
It can be really disheartening. You want so desperately to be...
Have you ever been so overcome with your guilt or your temptation and your own sense of shame that you just want to give up. You keep telling yourself this will be the last time. But you keep ending up at the same place.
You make promises such as
“Like I said last time, it won’t happen again”
You know that you need to give up porn, or anything that you know is ruining your life. But you...
I remember watching Goran Ivanisevic play Pat Rafter in the Wimbledon tennis final of 2001. It was the greatest sporting event I have ever seen. On one hand you had Pat Rafter. A great tennis player and one of the nicest players on the circuit at the time. He had lost two previous Wimbledon finals and was hoping for third time lucky.
On the other hand you had Ivanisevic; a giant Croatian at 6"...
When you struggle with an addiction like porn it will start to eat away at you and it will tear away at your relationships and your life. You will feel like you don’t remember the person you used to be. That depresses you. You start to question God. You will want to give up. You will want to hide. You may even wish you were dead. Those are enough negative feelings to do anyone and you would...

Every now and again I will have a moment of clarity. A moment when everything feels great. When I feel hopeful, excited, optimistic and ready all in one.
I’ve never had many of these in my life but recently I have been having more. And it’s great and I wouldn’t change it for anything.
Most of the time it’s because of either a song or something I have read. Today it is listening to...
Once addicted, always addicted!
There are many people who will try and tell you this. And when you are constantly finding yourself giving into temptation over and over again it can become really easy to believe it. You know that voice inside your head that says you will never be free, you will never know what it is like to have a healthy relationship, you will never know what it’s like to...
Usually if someone persistently and constantly lies to you, you eventually begin to doubt everything that person says. You start to doubt who they are, that they really care about you. You start to believe that they are only concerned about one person...themselves.
Eventually you will cut all ties. You will tell them that you can't be in a relationship where there is no trust, where there is...
When the Bible is called the 'living word' it usually means several things. For example that even though it was written a long time ago it is still relevant today. But what I love more is that you can read something in the Bible, something you have read many times before and then suddenly a new insight jumps out at you. You get a new look at a bit of information that before was just part of...
I have some bad news. And some of you aren’t going to like it.
When I was told it I didn’t like it either.
But it’s true.
Are you ready? Here it is.
If you struggle with porn and you want to be free, you are going to have to tell someone.
There you have it. I told you, you wouldn’t like it.
There are just no two ways about it. You won’t be able to stop looking at porn all by yourself....
