Lovemail

so i will make it short and sweet, starving jesus changed my life forever, i have never been so motivated in my life, you helped jump start what god has in store for me. I don't know how to get started but im tryin. thank you for changing everything, what you guys stand for is what i never knew Christians could be like, when i hated Christians. thank you for being raw with your dreams so i could learn from you and know that i could be a Christian and still honestly love everyone.

i love what you guys are doing. as a worship pastor in Hendersonville, Tn, it's vital for me to have what you guys offer.

i have been reading your hate mail all night long and it's moving me in ways that it never has before. i've been feeling a lot of heartbreak for people who claim to be Christ followers who just don't 'get it'. Sadly though, the greatest accomplishment of NOT getting anything done is to inwardly destroy by way of distraction and it's good to see you guys stay so laser focused by choosing to use your faith as both a lens and a focus when God really DOES need both.

let there be light.

Im not sure who runs this site, but i wanted to say THANK YOU!  Ive battled porn since i was a teenager, and it slowly became a addiction.  Through having Jesus in my life and sites like this, the addiction is basically no more.  Thank GOD!  So thanks again for helping people through your site. May God continue to bless you and your site, cause im sure there are people out there batting this as i write this.

Hey guys,

"Wow" was the first thing I said when I finished reading your book. I am at
work right now, in this lovely government building in D.C, and I cannot stop
smiling inside. My heart...is racing.

I have been struggling the last few months with inner deamons from my past
in high school. A very inappropriate, sexual relationship with an ex has
left me paralyzed in this state of lustful thoughts and desires. While I
have not acted on any of them since I left high school, I still pray
constantly for deliverance.

Your book really hit me hard. I have always struggled with fasting but have
also known that the Lord has called me to do so. So I am doing it! Next week
I will begin a two week fast.

I pray every single day for strength to work through these issues. I know
that at the end the rewards will be greater than any I have ever received
because God is SO awesome.

Thank you for your book and thank you for showing the world what it means to
truly lay down your life and live for Christ.

Always in Service,
Carmen D. Isaac

"Jump first, fear later"

Hey . . . almost done the book Starving Jesus and just wanted to say thank you to Craig and JR for following the Lord in this. I am an ordained minister, pastoring a church, and though I love people I have grown to despise church . . . I can't stand it anymore. Thank you for saying what you have said; it has challenged me that I need to do something different, or get out of this all together. I struggle now with what to do . . . I have a vision in my heart, I know what I see the church being. I am married - have a beautiful wife and three young daughters the Lord has blessed me with. . . . We have our physical needs met, but I fear we are dying inside. I need something more than what church is giving me, and I'm the pastor. . . . Thanks again for your willingness to encourage people like me to find more, whatever the costs. I am still not sure what to do  . . . but trust the Lord will lead. Many years ago I was in a Christian Bookstore about 4000km away from where I live right now, and a man I did not know came up to me and shared with me my struggles with church, and told me that the Lord would use me to bring change. That was probably ten years ago, and I have been hanging on to that prophetic word, but I must admit that I have grown tired. . .  So thank you again for your encouragement.
 
Your brother,
Richard

Grace to you in the name of Jesus our Savior.

I felt compelled to share this story with you today. It really starts on Wednesday of last week. I was at Creation Music Festival and saw your booth. I met with one of the people at the booth (I believe is Brandon, but don't remember) I explained to that guy that it is only because of your ministry that I am where I am today. I am currently a pastor of a small church where I also run the youth ministry. I thanked him for the ministry and purchased a Bible.

I took your Jesus loves pornstars Bible to youth group and was talking about Jesus and the rich man who had more grain than he had room for before he died. My youth noticed my Bible and asked me about it to which the discussion became one about pornography and the healing that can come from it. For some reason (God's providence) a kid had brought his brand new laptop to show off at youth group and they immediately logged on to your site and we began talking about the healing that is possible even from porn addiction.

One of my youth was incredibly interested in what help there was available for porn addiction. He never said he looked at porn but as a former porn addict myself he didn't have to say anything the look of fear in his eyes when the topic came up was enough.

Thank you for your ministry you have opened the door for porn to be talked about in a small church with a youth ministry of 8 kids who desperately need to hear about Jesus and his healing love for them.

Hello to everyone:
My name is David from Oshawa Ontario Canada.  I am really excited and thankful for what xxxchurch is doing!  I just want to say keep up the great work.  The love you provide for those in the porn industry and those struggling with porn is life changing.  You are truly acting as Jesus.  Going to where it at.  I have also been enjoying the pod casts.  I have started from day one and I am slowly going through them.  Thanks again.  Peace Out.

I took home the X3 watch software and went back home to my wife.  As I got home I kissed and hugged my wife and children like I had not done in a long time.  I sent the kids down stairs to play while I grabbed all the porn I had collected over the years.  I took my wife to the living room and made a very hot fire.  As the fire built, I threw all the movies and magazines I had into this fire.  I held my wifeÂ’s hand and wept thinking of all the pain I had caused her and others over the years.

I have now been porn free for just over 10 weeks and have never felt better about life.  I still struggle from time to time and want to look.  With my accountability partners, wife and GOD I have stayed on track.  I have since found out that my wife was afraid to go to bed with me at night because she hated how I would pester her for sex and never give up.  I also realized that over the 10 years of marriage I had only truly made love to my wife maybe 4 or 5 times.  Porn distorted the great gift God had given me with my wife.

I would like to thank the X3 team for all their help and dedication to this ministry.  With out your ministry I do not think I would have noticed the true problem I had.  But most of all, thanks to my wife for being by my side and loving me as she did.
