Each week, I round up the best resources, articles, and videos I find that are relevant to finding freedom from porn and sexual addiction. Please note that by posting a link here it does not mean I agree with everything in the linked article. It just means I found it interesting enough to share.
CovenantEyes | The Two Most Important Questions to Ask If You Have a Setback
“Setbacks remind you that you can’t win on your own. You need both God and helpful encouragement and accountability from a fellow Proven Man. Setbacks also cause you to examine other areas of your life that contribute to the problem.
