This episode is a really special one. I am delighted to introduce you to today's guest, John Fort. John is the director of Be Broken Ministries, which exists to help individuals and families move from sexual brokenness to wholeness in Christ.  John is also the author of several books, including Honest Talk—a New Perspective on Talking to Your Kids About Sex, which we talk about today. John vulnerably and courageously shares his story of sexual and pornography addiction and how God has redeemed his story to give him a purpose driven by hope and healing.  I loved talking with John!  He is full of wisdom, reassurance and, there's that word again, hope. He encourages parents to be honest with their kids about their own sexual past and then shows us how to do it. I read his book cover to cover in a few days and I can't encourage you enough to get your own copy. But start by listening to this episode and getting to know John better. You'll be so glad you did!  Find John here: Be Broken Ministries Find John's books here: Honest Talk—a new perspective on talking to your kids about sex Father-Son Accountability : Integrity Through Relationship  Some favorite quotes from today's episode: *”I was a little afraid to get into this work but God kept shutting all the other doors. It was like He said, “I didn't bring you out of this for nothing.” John Fort *”There is so much freedom in honesty.” Greta Eskridge  *”Look at what God did! He did it for me and He can do it for you.” Greta Eskridge *”If parents would be brave enough to tell their own story then their kids would be able to say, ‘oh you do understand!' and then they could talk.” John Fort *”He realized at that moment that he was not too broken to be loved by his parents or by God. For the first time he felt a surge of hope that he had someone to talk to about sex and maybe his father could help him. That event , just hearing his father's sexual story became the turning point for this young man to actively engage in his own journey to sexual wholeness.” John Fort *”My problem had nothing to do with sex. I was using pornography and other sexual things to deal with emotions I didn't know what to do with.” John Fort *”The days I looked at pornography as a teenager were the days something bad happened and I didn't know what to do with that.” John Fort *”If in our house we never talk about body parts, we never talk about anything, that gives the silent message that it's not OK to talk about these things.” John Fort *”We surveyed a bunch of teenagers and asked why don't you talk to your parents about sex. They had two answers: ‘I'm afraid my parents won't understand my past' or ‘I'll get in trouble for what I say or even what I ask.'” John Fort *”Your story is simply a way to show them it is OK to talk about these things.” John Fort *”We can pretend its not happening or we can just talk about it.” Greta Eskridge  *”You don't even know what your kids are dealing with until you ask. And the older they get the more often we have to ask them what they're seeing and what they're hearing.” John Fort *”People are looking for help for their addictions and hope for their broken hearts. They want living water. If we run away or become judgmental or uncomfortable any time we see sexual pain, we will miss the greatest opportunities to enter the pain of their sexual brokenness and share the love of Jesus Christ.” Julie Slattery *”Emotional resilience is connected to sexual wholeness.” Greta Eskridge  *“We think that telling our story is going to make our kids not respect us, but the opposite is true if we do it well.” John Fort  Thank you so much for listening and being a part of my show!

Welcome to episode #204! This week, Matt and Braden talk with John Daugherty from Be Broken Ministries about grace based models for recovery. Grace is not opposed to effort. Our effort doesn't earn anything from God. But we need to put in effort for recovery. There is nothing that we can do that will make God love us more or less. We need to understand that our identity, our value and worth cannot fluctuate. We can then use that worth as a starting point to work on our recovery. Instead of feeling like we need to prove ourselves and base our worth on our performance, we can rely on the truth that our worth comes from God and we don't need to earn it.  We have to shift the ultimate focus in grace-based recovery. We come in with a performance based bias, with the goal being a behavioural outcome. Whatever the addictive compulsion is, our assumed goal is to not have those behaviours. We try to replace it with a better, more positive behaviour. Grace-based models shift the focus from a behaviour-first outcome to understanding a relational outcome and understanding what it means to be made in God's image and to love Him and others. We want to be in a safe enough space to be able to share the fullness of our stories and build those authentic relationships with others and God. Parents have a great responsibility to set the tone of conversations in the home. It can be intimidating to talk about your story to your families. It is good to divulge our stories and talk about what we learned from it and how we are continuing to grow and manage our sexuality. Stories are our connectors of our transformations over our lifetime. The family unit is God's primary unit that transformation is to happen between generations. By starting those conversations in the home and creating that environment it can build honesty, vulnerability, openness, and the ability to share feelings and ask questions.Ask a questionHave a question you'd like answered live on an episode?

Don't you often wish God would "zap" you from here to there? If you need to change and you ask Him to change you, don't you wish it would happen quickly? But all longterm followers of Jesus discover that spiritual transformation is a process - and one where we learn to cooperate with God. Jonathan Daugherty has experienced that transformation, and now as founder and president of Be Broken Ministries he helps many others experience that as well. In this episode he talks with Dr. Carol about the 3-stage process to become spiritually mature and whole, and what you can do along the way.

On the journey of healing and recovery, it can be easy to wonder if things will “always be this way”, or feel like the challenges “will never stop”. The reality is that it often takes more than we expect to go from death to life. While the Bible says that real and lasting transformation is available to us, it can be hard to understand what part we have to play and where God is doing the work. Jonathan Daugherty, founder of Be Broken Ministries, will tell you true transformation is grace-led. He joins Juli to discuss his new book where he explores and outlines how God uses our pain, restores our identity, and renews us along our healing journeys through the miraculous power of His grace.     Guest: Jonathan Daugherty   Be Broken Ministries on Instagram: @bebrokenministries Website: Be Broken Ministries   Book: Grace-Based Transformation by Jonathan Daugherty Blog: God's Healing Stinks Blog: Why Is Healing So Hard?

Thank you and God bless!! click on the link to donate!Welcome to episode #178! This week, Matt and Braden talk with John and Lucas Fort from Be Broken Ministries about talking to your kids about porn.Create an environment where there is safety and care for children to talkYou want to have a punish free zone so that there is a safety to open up. There is fear on both sides when opening up about feelings and making sure that the children won't feel like the parents are mad. There can still be barriers to help recovery, but to not have it as a punishment. Discipline doesn't mean punishment. A way to start off and help your kids to be open, is to be open yourself and show that level of vulnerability. Setting up Accountability or “Man Meetings” Figure out what works for you. Set a day/time, and something that will keep the situation comfortable. Does it ease the tension to be side by side and doing something? Or maybe you'd prefer to sit across from each other at a table over a coffee? Understand that when kids start looking at porn - its out of curiosity and/or it gives a buzz. It gets dangerous when it becomes the go-to way to deal with feelings, that's when it becomes a habit. Identify what emotions that you get that leads to it. Realize that at the beginning, you won't know the trigger feeling or core emotion feeling until there is a mess up.  It's important to be vulnerable with your childrenA way to start off and help your kids to be open, is to be open yourself and show that level of vulnerability. The parent might do most of the talking at the beginning until the child is ready to open up. Having the parent start it off and be consistent with meeting, opening up and sharing feelings then they can begin to encourage their kid if they have anything to share. It starts with feelings. You don't need to always talk about sex, just learn to discuss your feelings. There are different ways you can discuss triggers and feelings. You can be formal about writing out triggers and plans; you can write back and forth in a journal with minimal talking at first or maybe it never is a formal meeting but it's the parents responsibility to go do something together and initiate to talk about it. A big fear or worry of parents is wondering if their children will lose respect for them or find out about their past. The only time respect is lost, is when the parent isn't doing anything to get better. It often ends in more respect when they see how their parents have done something about their past and are getting better. Ask a questionHave a question you'd like answered live on an episode?

Matthew Riley, Development Director of Be Broken Ministries, offers a personal and engaging account of his recovery from sexual addiction as a result of his wife's detaching in love, as well as setting boundaries. Matthew is a former pastor and international worker. He has been married for 18 years to his wife Katherine and has four children ages 10 - 15 years old.  Be Broken helps individuals and families move from sexual brokenness to wholeness in Christ. Through workshops, small groups, online courses, and partner resources, they help men overcome pornography addiction and stop other unwanted sexual behaviors. They also help wives recover from betrayal trauma, as well as families walk in God's design for sexuality. #sexual addiction recovery #boundaries in marriage #help for wives of sex addicts #Christian marriage help #detaching in love    

Why are boundaries necessary for marriage restoration after sexual betrayal? And how does a couple navigate establishing and enforcing such boundaries in a redemptive way? Jonathan Daugherty of Be Broken Ministries interviews Karla Downing on Pure Sex Radio to answer these important questions. In this conversation, Karla defines what boundaries are, why they are necessary to rebuild a broken marriage, how they are enforced, various pitfalls to boundary-setting and boundary-keeping, and why the real “goal” is restoration. 

This podcast is an interview by Jonathan Daugherty of Karla Downing on the important topic of how wives can detach with love in marriages to sex addicts or any other problem. Detachment sets wives free by helping them to focus on their own feelings, needs, thoughts, opinions, and perceptions while allowing their husbands to focus on theirs. This principle of detaching in love is absolutely necessary to overcome codependent enmeshment.

The key to your freedom is sharing the things you'd prefer to hide, even the dark and ugly things of your sexual story.

Listen as Carol the Coach interviews Maurice Crane who is forming a new outreach for men who are struggling with sexual integrity. Grace Based Recovery is the foundation of Be Broken Ministries in San Antonio Texas. Be Broken Ministries is a ministry to men, wives, families with an emphasis on recovery from unwanted sexual behaviors, otherwise known as sex addiction.  Be Broken's flagship outreach is the Gateway to Freedom Weekend Workshops held in San Antonio, TX, Orlando FL and Mt. Bethel PA.  A new outreach is forming to help churches and faith based community leaders come together to continue to address the issue of epidemic sexual addiction:  Grace Based Recovery Groups.  In a Grace Based Recovery group you create an environment of safety for men to gather to share their deepest of sexual struggles as well as their marital/family issues and find the reception warm and inviting to help men, over time, open up to a place of vulnerability. It is an accountability group with an emphasis on growing together through an 8 week training taken from the book Grace Based Recovery by Jonathan Daugherty, founder of Be Broken. Every quarter you start fresh with an 8 week training for new people, but then also hold accountability groups weekly as the group grows.  This is in addition to other groups out there, just a different angle. There is also an emphasis on doing things together as a chance to serve your local community together instead of always living in the framework of me-centric, sex-centric addiction.

What does the Bible say about pornography? Why is pornography so addictive? How can an addiction to pornography be overcome? A conversation with Jonathan Daugherty of Be Broken Ministries. Be Broken Ministries Jonathan Daugherty Pure Sex Radio Podcast This episode on YouTube Transcript

Why do parents avoid talking to their kids about sex? John Fort says it comes down to four primary reasons:It will strain my relationship with my kid.I might ruin my child's innocence.My kid will find out about my past.It will be too much work.John shares resources and insights to help us navigate these fears and use our mistakes and sexual brokenness to build a bridge with our children. What we can view as a barrier is actually the glue that creates safety and connection while talking with our kids about sex. John repeatedly refers to a quote he often uses while teaching seminars and writing books, “Your failures are what qualify you to talk to your kids about sex.”In the past two decades, parents have spent four times more time with their kids, setting the stage for these conversations. We, as parents, can need a little bit of guidance and handholding on how to start these conversations. Today John shares resources and practical tools to help us talk to kids who range in their ages from toddlers to adult children.  Join us for a powerful message and teaching on how we as parents can talk about sex with our children. John Fort/Be Broken Ministries Resources:https://2.bebroken.com/store/c2/bookshttps://2.bebroken.com/index.htmlhttps://2.bebroken.com/parent-consult.htmlOur Resources:https://www.instagram.com/restored2more/https://restored2more.com/https://restored2more.com/courses/

For over a century, the counseling world has been divided into secular and Christian approaches for the healing and transformation of broken people that are often at odds. Today's guest - the founder and director of Be Broken Ministries - will help us with the newest solution to that divide. It's called "Grace-Based Recovery" and it brings us back to therapy that is Christocentric and extremely effective.

Today's guest is the founder and director of Be Broken Ministries in San Antonio, TX. Jonathan relates his life as a boy/teen sex addict, how his bondage developed, the damaged it caused, what God did to set him free, and what God has been doing through him in outreach to sexually broken people ever since.

Episode SummaryToday's guest on the Covenant Eyes Podcast is Jonathan Daugherty, founder and president of Be Broken Ministries and founder of the Gateway to Freedom workshop for men. After living a divided life of sexual sin for many years, God called Jonathan into ministry, using his brokenness as a path to help men and women find freedom in their brokenness and discover the power and grace of God in their lives.Show notes:Most churches don't have an invitational spirit when it comes to opening up about pornography and brokenness, which leaves many Christians at a loss with how to get the help they need. In today's episode, host Sam Black, Director of Recovery Programs at Covenant Eyes, and Jonathan Daugherty of Be Broken Ministries talk about how, despite there being no formula or magic pill for instant deliverance from sexual sin, there is help available to begin the journey to healing.Key topics covered in this episode:Online courses and a powerful workshop for finding true freedomHow wounds of the past contribute to our struggle with brokennessWhat churches can do to create safe spaces for those struggling with sexual sinLinks Blog: The Christian Response to Moral Failure in Church LeadersBook: Grace-Based RecoverySILS: SexualIntegrityLeaders.comSocial MediaFacebook.com/bebrokenministriesTwitter.com/bebroken

In this episode, sex addiction specialist Jonathan Daugherty of Be Broken Ministries talks about the childhood influences that helped mold him into a major sex addict.

"Will I cause a set-back in my husband’s recovery if I say no to sex?"     "My daughter talks to me about her porn addiction, but she’s mortified at the thought of telling her dad, is that okay?"   "My husband confessed to looking at women on Instagram. It wasn’t exactly a porn relapse—so why am I so angry about it?"   This week, our guest is Jonathan Daugherty, author of Grace Based Recovery and founder of Be Broken Ministries. He sits down with Juli to offer hope, encouragement, and answers to oft-asked questions we get from listeners about pornography. Whether you’re an addict, a spouse, or a friend walking this journey with a loved one, you’ll want to tune in to this Java with Juli.

What exactly does a life of sexual purity look like to you? Would it surprise you that your purity really has very little to do with you? Or that your acting out behavior is one of the last things your Father is concerned about? What do you think prevents you from engaging in God's Word or Godly men for help? Are you afraid to tell others the scandal of your life? Guest: Jonathan Daugherty with Be Broken Ministries and Pure Sex Radio. Book: 4 Pillars of Purity - Foundations for Building a Life of Integrity & Purpose.

Confessing sin is one of the least exciting things in our lives to actually do. It's very important and Biblical, but does it really change anything? And what happens if I don't confess my sins to a trusted person? Guest: Jonathan Daugherty with Be Broken Ministries and Pure Sex Radio. Book: 4 Pillars of Purity - Foundations for Building a Life of Integrity & Purpose.

Men are not the only ones who struggle with addiction and other sexually destructive behaviors. Women struggle, too. And in recent years a growing number of women are struggling with online and sex addiction. Often it is harder for women who want help with these struggles to find it. Most resources seem to be geared towards men, so even seeking help adds a distinct type of “shame” for women who want help. Tonight, Carol the Coach will be interviewing Jonathan Daughtery of Be Broken Ministries who, along with Kimberly Johnson have developed an online course for women who struggle with online addiction. He wants to offer several insights to women in the audience who are struggling with unwanted sexual behaviors. He wants to offer hope that your story matters and we are all more alike in our brokenness than different. He wants to offer truth that you are “fearfully and wonderfully made” and eternally loved by your Creator. And he wants to talk about the concept of surrendering to your higher power or God to provide you a way out.  

Listen in to Gigi Hopkins, Wives Care Coordinator at Be Broken Ministries, describe her gentle introductory 6 week course for wives of porn addicts. If you have fears and apprehensions about taking the next step into recovery, this may be just what you are looking for.

If God told you to tell your story, how would you respond? With fear? Anxiety? Hesitation? For me (Aaron,) the severity of the story would dictate my response. For Jonathan Daugherty, his response was, "yes." Of course, it may have taken some convincing, but ultimately he set out across the world to tell his story of sexual addiction, lies, betrayal, redemption, restoration, and salvation. If that seems like a massive pendulum swing, just wait until you hear the full story. Jonathan is the founder of Be Broken Ministries, author of several books (which you can purchase at the link below,) and a nationally recognized speaker and teacher.

Register for the Liberating Saints Virtual Summit Here This is a clip from the upcoming Liberating Saints Virtual Summit which begins on September 10, 2019. In this clip, you will hear Jonathan Daugherty who runs an organization called Be Broken Ministries. He is going to talk about how to stimulate healthy discussion about struggles with pornography in a church setting in order to stimulate healthy culture. To hear the full interview register for the Liberating Saints Virtual Summit

One of our recurring topics on the podcast is 'my child has seen pornography’ or ‘my child is looking at pornography—what do I do now?’ Today—per the request of one of our listeners—we're tackling this topic from a faith-based perspective.   In the past we have recommended some great resources, like the S.M.A.R.T. Guide for Parents (from Protect Young Minds) to help us know what to do when our kids have seen porn. However, we recently received a request from a mom who also wanted to add some faith-based resources to her toolbox. We recognize how important it is for families to incorporate all their values into this conversation, and invite all our listeners to give us a heads up, like this mother did, so that we can tackle parenting and pornography from whatever perspective YOU need!    In this episode we’re chatting with John Fort, who is a father, a specialist in addiction recovery, and also a man of faith.   John Fort, MST, is the Director of Training for Be Broken Ministries where he equips community leaders to assist families moving from sexual brokenness to wholeness. He oversees online training for Be Broken on Pure Life Academy and live training at the Sexual Integrity Leadership Summit, where he is a Co-Founder and Executive Team Member. John is a regular blogger on CovenantEyes.com and ProtectYoungMinds.org and is the author of the books; Honest Talk: A New Perspective on Talking to Your Kids About Sex, Father-Son Accountability: Integrity Through Relationship, and the Forbidden Scrolls fictional trilogy. John and his wife, Anna, live in Oregon and have two adult children.   Be Broken Ministries is a national non-profit ministry that serves anyone affected by sexual brokenness. The mission of Be Broken is to Encourage, Equip, and Expand the Christian Sexual Integrity Leadership Community. Be Broken serves people affected by pornography, or any other unwanted sexual struggle or stronghold.   Highlights from this episode: -Build accountability with your children.  -Relationships come first--before anything else. Love first.  -We need to set consequences and boundaries that focus less on punishing and more on protecting our children. -It’s important to recognize patterns of addiction in our children, as opposed to just accidental exposure or a bad habit. -As we build strong relationships with our kids, we can help to meet their emotional needs, which goes a long way in the fight against pornography.   -Kids are naturally curious about sex. Don’t be alarmed. Make a goal to talk about sex in a healthy way. Be your kids’ first, best source of information. (Want some tips? Check out the 30 Days of Sex Talks books from Educate and Empower Kids!) -If your child is struggling with pornography, talk about their feelings first. Then get around to the actions and describing what actually happened. Remember … relationships come first.   Challenge: Download a feelings chart (easy to find online--just search for “feelings chart”) and talk about your emotions at the dinner table with your family.   Additional links/resources: Restoring Hearts Counseling Capstone Treatment Center

In 'Broken Wholeness Conversations' we dive deeper into the topics from each week. We discuss the topic with guests who have first-hand experience and share a bit of their stories to help others gain further understanding. This episode focuses on the topic of our broken desires, where we will hear from Jonathan Daugherty (Founder of Be Broken Ministries).

EPISODE 3  In this episode, Dr. John discusses more critical insights from the book “Rethinking Sexuality: God’s Design and Why It Matters,” by Dr. Juli Slattery of Authentic Intimacy, particularly in the area of sexual discipleship and the role the church should play in shaping sexual values. Dr. Slattery’s book can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/Rethinking-Sexuality-Gods-Design-Matters/dp/0735291470/ Dr. Slattery’s ministry, Authentic Intimacy, can be found here: https://www.authenticintimacy.com/ --- DID YOU KNOW Recent findings from The Porn Phenomenon… https://www.barna.com/the-porn-phenomenon  70% of Christian youth pastors have had at least one teen ask them for help with dealing with porn in the past 12 months. Most often the teens were: High school boys 92%; middle school boys 57%; high school girls 23%; and middle school girls 10%. 21% of youth pastors and 14% of pastors admit they currently struggle with using porn. 12% of youth pastors and 5% of pastors say they are addicted to porn. 87% of pastors who say they use porn say they feel a great sense of shame about it. --- WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT 2:58: What is the definition of sexual discipleship?   “I think part of our dilemma is that we don’t have a sense of our sexuality being a part of our discipleship and followership with the Lord Jesus Christ.” 5:14: How has postmodernism grown so powerful in determining the sexual values of the culture? 6:27: In your view, why has the church failed to speak to these issues when the culture has been more compelling and effective in getting its message out? 8:08: Is sexuality a territory to be reclaimed by the church rather than a problem to be solved? 10:12: Juli Slattery wrote, “We have a mission.  It’s not to convince people that sex outside of marriage is sinful…He told us to go and make disciples. Our mission is to exalt Jesus as Lord, Creator, and Savior of every aspect of our lives, including sexuality.” How do you respond to her comment? “Jesus went out of his way to encounter people whose lives were broken.” 11:50: Do you think the church has been judgmental toward the issue of sexual sin and brokenness? “You know what makes the church unique? We take the wounded and we shoot them.” “Our priority is expressing the kindness and the mercy of our God toward people who have lives that are broken.” 15:00: How do you see the Bible addressing the issue of sexuality? Do you see anything especially noteworthy in the life of Jesus? 18:52: Are you suggesting that we in the church engage in sex education? 21:12: Let’s stop treating sexuality as a taboo subject in the church. 22:56: A closer look at a quote from Russell Moore’s book Onward: Engaging the Culture Without Losing the Gospel: “The sexual revolution, if we’re right about the universe, cannot keep its promises. Unhinged sexual utopianism can only go so far before it leaves the ground around it burned over, like every other utopianism. We need to be ready, after all that, to point toward older paths, toward water that can satisfy.” --- ACTION ITEM How can parents help their teens to better understand the idea of sexual discipleship? --- RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE The Porn Phenomenon, https://www.barna.com/the-porn-phenomenon/  (Not mentioned, but worth exploring from PJ Media: https://pjmedia.com/faith/2017/01/28/barna-study-shocking-number-of-pastors-struggle-with-porn/ ) Celebrate Recovery, https://www.celebraterecovery.com/  Pure Desire, https://puredesire.org/ Pure Desire Conqueror Series, https://puredesire.org/collections/conquer-series  Russell Moore, https://www.russellmoore.com/ and also https://www.onward-book.com/  Be Broken Ministries, https://2.bebroken.com/  --- Teens, Tech & God is a podcast resource brought to you by Dr. John Thorington, director of Restoring Hearts Counseling in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and author of the book "Pure Teens." The podcast is dedicated to equipping parents with the tools and knowledge to raise kids committed to God's purpose for sexuality, the family, and the honorable use of all technology.

Be Broken's John Fort joins me in the powerful podcast where we discuss one of the most important and most overlooked aspects of recovery from sex addiction and pornography addiction. John tells us why knowing and living your life's purpose is a critical part of not only recovery, but of creating a great life. Sex addiction and porn addiction is NOT about not doing something so join Coach Craig and John and learn exactly what you need to do to create healthy sexuality and a great life.

Jonathan Daugherty is the founder and director of Be Broken Ministries... Pure Sex Radio... and Gateway To Freedom... which is a three day workshop for men who are seeking to overcome pornography or any other sexual struggle or stronghold.  In addition, Jonathan is in demand nationally as a speaker on sexual purity and men's issues.  He has appeared on The Oprah Show, twice on ABC's Nightline, as well as other radio and television media, both local and national.  He has authored numerous books including... Grace-Based Recovery... The 4 Pillars of Purity... Secrets... and Untangled...among other works. When Jonathan was exposed to pornography as a young boy... it began a compulsion that would eventually lead into a full blown sexual addiction that would last for 13 years... and literally almost destroy his life. In 1999 Jonathan had been married for 4 years when his wife learned the truth of his sexual addiction... including the use of pornography... strip clubs... and prostitutes... among many other inappropriate behaviors that had become part of his daily life.  It was only after his wife left him that Jonathan finally admitted to himself the true extent of his problem... and turned to God in utter desperation.  He knew that if God didn't help him and change him... that he could never change himself. On that important day... instead of finding an angry and resentful God... Jonathan discovered a God of love... mercy... and forgiveness.  That began the redemptive and healing journey that led to the restoration of his marriage... and a ministry to help others who are struggling with sexual brokenness.  Jonathan learned that God can heal ANYONE and takes delight in doing that which seems impossible! Listen to this remarkable story of God's ability to heal a man who struggled with deep sexual brokenness for many years... and be AMAZED!

Finishing well is better than starting fast.  That’s the mantra Jonathan Daugherty from Be Broken Ministries gave us on today’s show.  Jonathan’s biggest struggle in life has been with fear.  Fear had pulled him to secrecy and isolation after his exposure to pornography and sexual deviance led him toward darkness.  God’s strength has helped Jonathan to speak about his fear and help others with his story.  This is Jonathan’s testimony.“The end of a matter is better than its beginning, and patience is better than pride.” - Ecclesiastes 7:8 Recommended Books: Bondage Breaker by Neil Anderson Victory Over the Darkness by Neil Anderson For past shows and to learn more about the God's Men of Influence community, check us out at www.godsmenofinfluence.org Join us on Facebook for our daily devotionals and updates and please like our page www.facebook.com/GodsMenOfInfluence   Help us spread the Word and please rate our show on itunes and leave comments for us.
