    Am I Really a Christian If I Can't Stop Watching Porn?

    Are you really a Christian if you can’t stop watching porn?It’s a question many Christian men quietly wrestle with. You love Jesus. You want to obey God. You’ve prayed, repented, and promised yourself you were done—yet pornography and sexual sin continue to be part of your story.In this episode, I share why I created Sex Addicted Christian, the story behind the name and logo, and what my own journey through sexual addiction taught me about shame, identity, grace, and freedom.Your struggle with pornography may be real, but it does not have to become your identity or the end of your story.If you’re a Christian man struggling with porn or sexual addiction, this ministry exists to help you step out of hiding, confront what’s underneath your addiction, and pursue real freedom in Christ.Join the CRUSH THE SHAME CHALLENGEhttps://www.sexaddictedchristian.com/crushtheshameGet my FREE Guide: 4 Pillars of a Porn Free Life ≥≥ https://www.sexaddictedchristian.com/freedom

    What Should a Christian Do After a Porn Relapse?

    If you’ve just relapsed, don’t lose hope. One failure does not define your recovery, but your response to that failure matters. In this episode, I walk through the three most important things every Christian should do immediately after a porn relapse. You’ll learn why running to Jesus instead of hiding is essential, why confession and biblical community are critical for lasting freedom, and how every relapse can become an opportunity to uncover the deeper issues driving your struggle instead of simply repeating the same cycle. If you’re tired of starting over and you’re ready to pursue lasting freedom in Christ, this episode is for you. In this episode: 1. Why your response to a relapse matters more than the relapse itself 2. How to break the shame cycle by running to Jesus 3. Why confession and community are essential for recovery 4. How to use a relapse to better understand your heart and your triggers 5. Practical next steps to continue moving toward freedom ⬇️ Take Your Next StepJoin the CRUSH THE SHAME CHALLENGEhttps://www.sexaddictedchristian.com/crushtheshameGet my FREE Guide: 4 Pillars of a Porn Free Life ≥≥ https://www.sexaddictedchristian.com/freedom

    Marriage Will Not Fix Your Porn Problem

    What happens when you finally get married, finally have sex, and discover that you still want porn? Many Christian men quietly believe marriage will solve their pornography struggle. The logic seems simple: You watch porn because you want sex. Marriage gives you a real sexual relationship. Therefore, marriage should make pornography unnecessary. But what happens when it doesn’t? In this episode, I explain why marriage often exposes that pornography was never simply about unmet sexual desire. Porn may have become a way for you to escape stress, loneliness, rejection, disappointment, boredom, anxiety, shame, or the pressures of everyday life. And if pornography is not primarily solving a sexual problem, then more sex cannot solve the porn problem. In this conversation, we discuss: • Why married sex does not automatically eliminate pornography • How porn functions as escape, comfort, and emotional relief • Why marriage can add pressure to an already established pattern • How disappointment and hopelessness can intensify the addictive cycle • Why filters and willpower alone rarely produce lasting freedom • What actually has to change if you want to stop returning to pornography Marriage did not cause your pornography problem. Your wife did not cause it. Marriage may simply have exposed that the problem was deeper than you realized. But that exposure does not have to be the end of your story. It can become the beginning of real recovery.

    Why Christians Should Avoid Masturbation

    If I’m not convinced the Bible explicitly forbids every conceivable instance of masturbation, then why do I still encourage Christians to avoid it?That’s the question I answer in this episode.In Part 1, we explored what I believe Scripture does—and doesn’t—say about masturbation. In this episode, we move from theology to wisdom.After years of counseling men and women struggling with pornography and sexual addiction, I’ve become convinced that the better question isn’t simply:“Can I?”The better question is:“Will this help me become more like Christ?”In this episode, we discuss:• Why masturbation is often a search for relief—not just pleasure.• Why temporary relief is not the same as lasting healing.• Why behavior modification alone rarely leads to freedom.• The deeper issues that often drive unwanted sexual behaviors.• Why isolation keeps people stuck and community helps people heal.My goal isn’t to burden you with another rule.My goal is to help you experience the kind of freedom Christ offers—a freedom that transforms not only your behavior, but your heart.Join the CRUSH THE SHAME CHALLENGEhttps://www.sexaddictedchristian.com/crushtheshameGet my FREE Guide: 4 Pillars of a Porn Free Life ≥≥ https://www.sexaddictedchristian.com/freedom

    Is Masturbation a Sin?

    Is masturbation a sin? It’s one of the most common—and most debated—questions Christians ask. In this episode, I don’t simply give you my answer. I walk you through how I arrived at it. After years of counseling men and women struggling with pornography, masturbation, and sexual addiction, my thinking has been sharpened by Scripture, pastoral conversations, and real-life counseling experience. In this episode, I share the strongest biblical argument against masturbation that I’ve personally encountered, where I still have questions, and where I currently land today. Whether you ultimately agree with my conclusion or not, my hope is that this conversation helps you think carefully, pursue holiness, and honor Christ as you wrestle with one of Christianity’s most frequently asked questions. In this episode: Why faithful Christians disagree on this issue The strongest theological argument against masturbation I’ve encountered Where I still wrestle with the question My current position—and why Why this is only Part 1 of the conversation In Part 2, I’ll explain why I still encourage Christians to avoid masturbation, even though I remain unconvinced that Scripture requires me to declare every conceivable instance sinful.

    The Real Reason You Keep Watching Porn

    Have you ever asked yourself, “Why do I keep going back to porn?” Most people answer that question by focusing on willpower, accountability, or trying harder. But what if you’re asking the wrong question? In this episode, I explain why pornography is often a symptom—not the root issue. I’ll show you what Jesus teaches about the heart, share part of my own recovery story, and give you a practical framework to begin understanding the deeper reasons behind your struggle. When you stop seeing pornography as the problem and start seeing it as a clue, everything begins to change. In this episode you’ll learn: • Why behavior always flows from the heart • Why pornography is often a symptom rather than the root problem • How your life story shapes your sexual story • The role shame, approval, rejection, and unmet longings can play in addiction • Practical first steps to begin understanding your own story If you’ve been asking, “Why can’t I stop?” this conversation may help you begin asking a much better question.
