XXXChurch: SSA Blog
If you’re a porn user, you’ve probably mastered the art of covering your tracks by now- a few extra clicks and your secret is safe. Your parents, roommates, friends, co-workers…no one will suspect a thing. Ours is such an easy sin to hide. So, when you’re finally ready to move towards freedom, it takes a lot of work. You’ve spent years, maybe decades, building walls to keep people out of your...
Hey Guys,
I am sorry it has been so long since I was last able to make a blog post. This last year has been a crazy roller coaster. My business has gone through many different seasons and finally I am at a point where it is normalizing to a predictive schedule. I am also finishing two very intense months of healings related to my mom. After three years of healing I thought the Lord had...
I was on a very short walk from my apartment to the college campus when I saw the protesters- ten or so men and women holding their signs up so everyone could read them. I didn’t particularly want to read them and from across the street I almost couldn’t read them, but I could make out two words that appeared on almost every sign: “God” and “Gays.”
What the…?
I crossed the street pretending...

Hey Everyone! I am very sorry for the delay in posting. Thankfully I have not relapsed. I am not saying that I am above it, but that is not the reason for my delay. I do really appreciate your concern and prayers. :) About two years ago I started my own business and in the last three months it has really taken off. Right now I am just trying to keep my head above water while I am hiring...
This entry is an introduction to a multi blog series of topics describing the main areas the Lord worked within me that ultimately led to me gaining more control over masturbation and having more freedom, peace, and joy in my life than I ever thought was possible. I am writing in hopes that what I learned through my healing process can help you in some way. But you must push into your own...
"Coming into agreement"
I never fully understood what this meant when I would hear people say it but I just realized there is an entire process behind.
We hear many “voices” every day: our own, other peoples, satan's voice and God’s voice. Some of these messages are good and some are bad. Some are right and some are wrong but one thing remains constant: satan is always speaking lies and...
I have really enjoyed reading everyone’s comments in response to the blogs. I love that there is a place where we can come together and have healthy discussions about our struggles. However, there are a few comments I’d like to respond to with some of my thoughts.
Do I think the Lord has a once size fits all plan for our lives and healing journeys? No.
In response to a post that...
Here is Part II, Part I and the Intro in case you missed it.
Another key element to walking through my healing is listening prayer. (This concept has become new to me in the last few years). From the time I was born until I went to college I was required to go to church every Sunday, even if I spent the night at a friend’s house. Out of those many years of church I never learned that I...
Here is Part I and here is the Intro in case you missed it.
I love the story of the blind beggar in Luke 18:35-43. It illustrates the need to fight for your healing consistently, regardless of the lies you may be fighting against.
Luke 18:35-43
35As Jesus approached Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging. 36When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening....
