I know exactly how an inability to quit porn feels, because I have been there too. In my teenage years I fell into patterns of sexual addiction, depression, and anxiety to cope with life. As an adult I became isolated and focused on my work as a pastor, secretly hoping that if I could just help enough people, I could feel better about myself. When my wife confronted me ten years into our marriage I reached out for help. I know it often feels like reaching out is the last thing you want to do, but I did not find any freedom until after I reached out. I went through a 90-day in-patient treatment program at HopeQuest, where I found a safe place to work through my issues and struggles. Thanks to my faith in Jesus Christ, I left rehab a new man—an imperfect man who is making the daily choice to keep being vulnerable and pressing on. Now, I want to help you find true freedom in your life!

Trust Is NOT a Light Switch

Trust isn’t a light switch. The conversation I could not have had 7 years ago and how it helps us to understand why she still checks your phone.
