As a pastor and a counselor, I can assure you that there is help for sexual addiction. It takes more than courage. It takes more than willpower. It takes the Lord plus Christian counseling and a dedicated support group.
My book, Healing Sex Addiction: The Christian’s Journey of Overcoming, shares firsthand accounts of men being caught in a web of addiction and feeling hopelessly trapped, and then slowly but surely transforming into the husbands and family men that God has always intended.
Take 1 Thessalonians 5:22, for instance: “Abstain from every form of evil.” Answering to God and seeking the truth in His Word results in a surrender like no other — a surrender to a loving authority. Yes, God loves you and wants the best for you. And Christ is the breaker of chains.
