There are things porn addicts know coming into recovery and more importantly things they need to know. This episode was from a workshop with Matt Dobschuetz recorded live for ministry leaders in Indianapolis, Indiana on August 9, 2014.
In this episode you’ll learn:
- The one thing porn addicts know on some level when they ask for help
- Things they don’t know, but desperately need to
- How leaders can really help
- Ideas for getting deeper in understanding your pain
“If you’re a porn addict, believe me, the last thing you need to hear is that you’re a sinner. We already know that. We know that it hurts us and it prevents us from becoming fully human and experiencing true freedom. We get it. The one thing we don’t know is that we’re free to let go of shame. If it’s true that nothing we do will separate us from the love of God, then that has to work both ways. It means that even if we are 10 years sober we are no more loved by God than if we looked at porn an hour ago. Right away, there’s no need to feel shame if is separated from all these ideas of who you are and whether God loves you.”
-Paul Robinson, blogger for XXXchurch.com and online recovery group leader
