5 Reasons You Should Use The Conquer Series This Fall

With just a few pages left hanging on the calendar for this year, now is the time to think back to January 1 and all the plans and goals that were set for yourself and the men of your church.

If your church is facing this, start a Conquer Group at your church can help you take the next step.

There were probably events planned such as men’s breakfasts, maybe a retreat, or possibly even a weekend conference. Such gatherings can be very beneficial, both spiritually and socially.

But what did your church do to reach deeper into the men’s lives? Did you address specific issues that men struggle with daily? How about pornography and the battles men fight every day against its destructive forces?

There is still time this year to help your men who wrestle with porn. But action must be taken now. Putting it off until next year will only allow them to stay in porn’s grip for several more months.

Fortunately, the Conquer Series, a 10-week course that is helping millions of men find freedom from porn’s bondage, can help you bring victory to your men. And you can start the program quickly before the end of the year.

In Christianity Today, Shaun Groves explained how he needed other Christians to help him.

“My friend told me he had the same problem. Turns out most of my friends did. We went to an older Christian in our church and asked him to meet with us every week and help us. This man had no great wisdom we lacked, no secret to fighting the drawing power of naked women. But what he did was listen, give us advice and pray. He became a caring mentor to all of us. The first thing he showed us was that we weren’t the only ones with these problems. We weren’t freaks. We weren’t alone anymore.”

3. Bring Healing To Families

If it was only a man’s life that was being destroyed, that would be bad enough. But porn usage has devastating effects on his whole family.

Porn thrives in secrecy. When a man hides his porn viewing, it creates a barrier between himself and his wife and children. The marriage suffers massive damage as the man’s porn usage increases because he fantasizes about other women and focuses his attention on them instead of his wife.

Also, because the man spends so much time alone, he has less time to be with his children being a loving father.
