Internet & Other Addictions
But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible, for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says, “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you." Ephesians 5:13-14 ESV
The Theology of Addiction | Paul Tripp
Helping you win the battle for sexual purity, the Freedom Fight is an excellent tool based on Biblical truth and science that equips people with practical knowledge, insight, and Biblical wisdom in their battle against pornography and sexual addiction.
With a simple desire to make an impact on the world, we used science, facts and personal accounts to help spread the message about the harmful effects of pornography.
Become the person you want to be. Don't let pornography stand in your way. The Fortify Program will walk you through more than fifty short videos that cover the science of addiction, the harms of pornography, tools to help you break free, and other helpful information so that you can be empowered to overcome your struggle with pornography.
Porn addiction is one of the most difficult addictions to overcome, but XXXchurch is your resource online for pornography addiction help. We prevail over sex and porn addiction through awareness, prevention, and recovery.
Let's Talk is a 6 lesson course that has two objectives:
1) To catalyze conversations about the truth and dangers of viewing pornography.
2) To empower people to become advocates for choosing to live free from the bondage of pornography.

The Wounded Heart | Dan B. Allender
Sexual abuse knows no religious or social boundaries. Acclaimed, groundbreaking, and as essential as when it was first published, The Wounded Heart: Hope for Adult Victims of Childhood Sexual Abuse is an intensely personal and specific look at this form of abuse. Dr. Dan Allender explores the secret lament of the soul damaged by sexual abuse and lays hold of the hope buried there by the One whose unstained image we all bear. Using compelling narrative, rigorous psychological study, and a bold faith in the goodness of God, The Wounded Heart and its companion workbook offer a rich, defiant call to believe that the trauma of abuse does not have to be the end of the story.
Confronting the Porn Epidemic Webinar | Campus Ministry Today
We aren’t using the word flippantly when we say porn has created an epidemic. It has derailed so many ministry opportunities throughout history it’s ridiculous. We need a better understanding of this epidemic so that we can equip staff and students to walk in freedom in the context of making disciples.
Internet Pornography: A Ministry Leader's Handbook
When someone involved in ministry secretly struggles with the sins of lust and pornography, where do they turn for help? What if that person is regarded as the spiritual leader—the pastor, the elder, the minister, the shepherd of the flock? Where can that person find help? What would happen if others knew about the struggle? VIEW HANDBOOK AS PDF
What Sleep, Food and Exercise Have to do with Recovery
When you think of ways to help in your fight against pornography, how often do sleep, food and exercise come up? You might be surprised at how often research connects compulsive patterns to these basic lifestyle factors—especially what we call the Big Three— sleep, food and exercise. Each of these makes a huge difference in the quality of our mood and our overall mental and emotional well-being — including depression and anxiety, or how well we can focus our attention at any given moment.

Women and Masturbation: Talking About It Openly
Lust is not a guy problem–it’s a human problem. If you’re a woman who has struggled with any sort of lustful sin habit, including masturbation, you’re not alone. Millions of Christian women (single and married) are facing similar temptations every day. We, as women, are not immune to lustful sins any more than men are.
I am going to be very open and transparent in this post because I want you to know that Christ has the power to help us overcome our sin and to find lasting victory. KEEP READING
Coming Clean: Overcoming Lust through Biblical Accountability
Many Christians see accountability as a crutch they shouldn’t need. But what if accountability is actually one of God’s ordinary means to help us become more like Christ? What if we were meant to treat accountability not as a last resort but as a lifestyle? VIEW BOOK AS PDF
