Most people struggle to feel momentum in their Christian walk. This leads to low self esteem, dull confidence and lukewarm living... which leads guys to relapsing with porn. Not a fun cycle to be in!
One of the biggest reasons I see for this is that we dont know how to truly sharpen one another (Scripture says that iron sharpens iron)
Most people are "great" at giving advice, but the advice is actually harmful, or unhelpful at best...
We focus way to much on the surface problem and neglect peoples deep pain
We must start asking questions that get to the heat of the issue
King Artaxerxis in Nehemiah 2 is a great example of what we call curiosity in the recovery world. He asks Nehemiah a wonderful question to get below the surface, and then further, he asks how he can help RATHER than assuming his advice is what he needs
I also dive ito some paradigm shifts when it comes to discipleship, accountability and friendship
These are some AWESOME tips on how to develop a healthier life which leads to quitting porn and growing in sexual integrity

In this episode, you'll learn why you you're coming up short even if you're "doing all the right things"
This may be in porn recovery, family, marriage, work... whatever it is, you MUST change your core motivation or else you'll stay stuck.
We all have a core identity and from that core identity we have motivations
If your motivations are focused on NOT being a failure and working hard to not be one, you'll miss the gospel
The gospel saves, PERIOD. Jesus is the solution here, but he meets us in such strategies to renew our belief system and change the very reason we do anything
May this be the driver to changing your life... its time to quit porn and masturbation, to redeem your marriage, to enjoy Godly sex and to be men of integrity!

Customer Reviews
Incredible Resource
I wish this podcast had come up when I searched the first time. The words of hope and life that Shawn and Helena bring are so powerful—they don’t focus on all the ways that porn is hurting you/damaging your brain, although they are ruthlessly honest when it comes to the damage it does. Their focus is much more on the freedom that can come from being free from a pornography addiction, and they also talk extensively about why people become addicted to porn in the first place. Every episode is drenched in grace for what has happened in the past and hope for the future.
Never actually touches on the topic
Listened to episode 7 and literally nothing was said about the topic in the title of the episode. It was just continuous, vague preaching that was useless at best, annoying at worst.
Worth every listen
There cannot be enough of this! I immediately shared this podcast with my sisters and friends. Thank you for your work!
