I think that you need to quit your sex addiction recovery. But before you loose your cool, hear me out.

In this week's video I want to share with you a detailed part of my recovery story and how quitting actually led to beginning.

I finally started seeing less lust, porn, masturbation and over all sex addiction in my life when I learned this one very important thing.

My hope is that your will be released into the freedom you desire so desperately.

Is masturbation a sin according to the Bible and Christian beliefs? This is a difficult question to answer but I want to try to give you my best attempt.

In this video I am going to share with you 7 reasons I think that you should avoid masturbation but not because masturbation is expressly prohibited in the Bible.

1. Sex (or sex acts) are meant for marriage

6. The experience of guilt or shame in your life should cause you to pause and deeply consider your actions
7. Masturbation is often a form of escapism that moves you opposite of the direction Jesus

Unresolved conflict (or resentments) is one of the biggest culprits that are ruining more addicts than anything else. Your recovery from sex addiction requires you to deal with the bad relationships that you have.

Today we want to consider those relationships and how you should be approaching those with whom you are upset with or have hurt you.

First, you need to know that you are built for healthy relationship.

Second, you will need this most profound perspective before moving towards the conflict.

Let's find freedom by healing our conflicts.

Did getting married fix your addiction to porn? I know it didn't for me.

Porn is more than sex AND marriage is more than sex.

So more sex or married sex won't fix your porn problem.

Let's chat about it.

So you just got caught and your sexual secrets are no longer a secret. Now what do you do?

It's ok, in fact, I'm really glad and extremely excited for what's next for you.

This could be the best-worst moment of your entire life.

Let's talk about it!

Are you are being duped by your porn addiction? I fear you may be.

I know it's hard to see that because we are not able to see past our lust in the moments. But Solomon has some words of wisdom for us this week.

In this weeks video we consider the book of wisdom, Proverbs.

Proverbs uses strong and provocative language in hopes that we will hear and wake up from our sexually addicted induced coma. In this video we are going to compare and contrast porn's promises and God's.

Are you one of of the walking dead?

It's the same story every time we talk. You tell me about your having looked at porn, masturbated, had sex again, or gone to a strip club. You are sorry, it seems genuine. We pray and plan.

Then next week we talk again and it's the same story all over again. In this video we are going to get to the bottom of what you really want.
