Porn RecoverySex Before Marriage Changes Brain Chemistry
Our culture insists that love follows good sex. The brain says the opposite. The chemicals released during sex are the glue of human bonding, and they attach you to whatever you are engaged with in that moment, whether a person or a screen.

Porn RecoveryMy Thoughts On This Father's Day
Fatherhood has a way of teaching you a grace you thought you already understood.

For most men fighting porn, the road home runs straight through a father wound.
Porn RecoveryOur Pornified Culture Is Drifting From God’s Plan For Sex
Anything goes, as long as everyone consents. That is the culture's new rule for sex, and porn wrote most of it.

Here is the difference, and how a man walks back toward it.

Operation March Sadness 2 ran six days and ended with 108 arrests, most for soliciting prostitution, and deputies identified trafficking victims along the way.

Porn RecoveryWhy Revival May Not Be Possible...
We keep asking God to send revival. What if He is waiting on us? Leaders who have spent decades in this fight argue that sexual bondage in the pews, and in the pulpit, is the blockage, and that repentance means a 180-degree turn rather than a better prayer meeting. The numbers make the case hard to dodge.
Porn RecoveryWho You Say I Am: Finding Your Identity In Christ
You can still hear it. Worthless. You'll never amount to anything. Those words became an identity, and porn became the way to numb it.

Porn does not check your bank balance or your trophy cabinet. Five well-known actors, athletes and musicians have publicly admitted what it cost them: careers, marriages, years of secrecy.

Porn RecoveryFlorida 1st State To Teach K-12 Child Trafficking Prevention
Florida became the first state in the country to require human trafficking prevention instruction in every K-12 classroom, complete with published plans, named instructors and annual verification.

Porn RecoveryParents Beware: Porn Companies Are Targeting Video Gamers
Porn is no longer confined to videos and magazines. It has moved into online gaming and virtual reality, where one distributor's catalogue of games with nudity more than doubled in a single year and free-to-play versions slip past the paywalls meant to keep children out.

Porn RecoveryWhy 68% of Christian Men Watch Porn

Porn RecoveryVirtual Reality Porn: The Next Great Threat to the Church
Virtual reality did not arrive quietly. It arrived immersive, and the porn industry got there first.

Porn RecoveryThis Is What Your Brain on Porn Looks Like

Porn RecoveryHow Sexual Sin Sears Your Conscience (VIDEO)
A decorated officer told the court he had been viewing porn for forty years, and that it had seared his conscience. Scripture uses that exact phrase.

Betrayal Trauma5 Reasons To Reject Resentment
After betrayal, the word forgiveness can land like an insult. You have every right to feel what you are feeling. But having the right to carry resentment is not the same as it being good for you, because bitterness aims at the one who hurt you and lands squarely on you instead. Here is what it costs.
Porn RecoveryWhy Is Sexual Sin Against Your Own Body?
Scripture said it first: every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but sexual sin is committed against the body itself. Science has now caught up and can describe the mechanism, from bonding hormones firing at the wrong target to a conscience that stops responding. What was rewired can be rewired again.
Porn RecoveryThis Is How Porn And Sex Trafficking Are Linked
