Today Chris tackles a sensitive topic with the help of Kelton and Lynson. Today we’re exploring a topic that’s close to the hearts of many but can be difficult to discuss—same-sex attraction.

Our goal is to create a safe and respectful space where we can have an open, honest conversation. Whether you’re seeking understanding, support, or simply curious, we’re here to navigate this journey together.

So, let’s take a deep breath, open our minds, and start this important conversation. Thank you for coming along with us on this path of understanding and connection.

Found yourself in a place you never thought you’d be? The shame and hopelessness sexual addiction and compulsive sexual behaviors can ignite are real…but there is hope. Today Chris talks about how he entered recovery and reached sobriety early on.  The difference between behavioral change and heart change, what steps he took early on, and something about reconstructive shoulder surgery. It’ll make sense in the end!

Today I’m excited to interview Dan Johnson from New Paths. I recently listened to Dan’s podcast and was blown away by his simple, yet profound method for how he stopped watching porn. Grab a pen and paper or open up your favorite note-taking app to capture this method. We might as well call Dan the bus driver because he’s about to take us to school.

To learn more about Dan and his ministry, go to newpaths.me. There you can download the PATH plan and learn about coaching opportunities with Dan.

On the next Purity Podcast, I dive into my early days and talk about some lessons learned. The good, the bad and the ugly ain’t just a movie, it perfectly describes how I came to recovery and reached sobriety.

Jorge joins Season 8 for the first time to talk about Healthy Sexuality. The conversation (that involved a lot of editing, lol) is designed to help men understand what healthy sexuality looks like and steps needed to help move from unhealthy sexuality into healthy sexuality. Because of our addiction, we have taken sexuality and distorted it, and we need to rewire our brain to see how healthy sexuality can be restored. For years we used sexuality as a coping mechanism to deal with uncomfortable emotions. Healthy sexuality is not just the absence of negative consequences, but more focused on a Christ-centered outcome. We reference resources that are excellent books like:

Worthy of Her Trust: What You Need to Do to Rebuild Sexual Integrity and Win Her Back by Stephen Arterburn and Jason Martinkus

Out of the Doghouse for Christian Men: A Redemptive Guide for Men Caught Cheating by Robert Weiss and Marnie Ferree

Real Hope, True Freedom: Understanding and Coping with Sex Addiction by Milton S. Magness and Marsha Means   Victory Over the Darkness: Realize the Power of Your Identity in Christ by Neil T. Anderson
