Have you ever wondered if you could ever follow God in the ways He desires for you in the area of sex and sexuality? In this message, Pastor Josh Husmann challenges us to fix our eyes on Jesus and make Him the primary identity of your life.

If Christ is not the King of your heart on earth, he will not be the King that satisfies your heart for all eternity.

This is the second part of a 2-part exclusive interview with Nathan and Martha Driskill, the Young Married Leaders at Christian Life Church in Mequon, WI. (If you haven't listened to Part 1, go back and do that now!) In this interview, Nathan shares his childhood story of how the addiction to pornography began and how it followed him into adulthood. Martha joins the story when she shares how she met, dated, and married Nathan, and then how the porn addiction stayed hidden until their 7th year of marriage. In part 2, Martha shares how she found out about Nathan's addiction and then Nathan and Martha discuss practical steps they took toward healing over the last 13 years (including resources that they recommend to other couples who find themselves in this place of pain and fear). Nathan recommended the following books for the spouse with the addiction: Every Man's Battle by Stephen Arterburn and Fred Stoeker  Every Man's Marriage by Stephen Arterburn and Fred Stoeker Intoxicated with Babylon by Steve Gallagher  At the Altar of Sexual Idolatry by Steve Gallagher Pure Desire by Ted Roberts The Walk of Repentance by Steve Gallagher / Pure Life Ministries - 24-week course: the first 12 weeks are overseen by a mentor and the final 12 weeks are completed solo. (Martha and I went through this individually in 2013.  It was crucial in Martha's recovery and further solidified my recovery as it led me even closer to God's heart for us in this world.) The Conquer Series (Our church recently went through this program.  I served as a group leader in this 10-week series as well as the following series) 7 Pillars of Freedom Workbook by Ted Roberts (28-week men's group series: I am currently leading this series with a group of men from our church - Good stuff!) Martha recommended the following books for the wounded spouse: Every Heart Restored by Fred and Brenda Stoeker The Healing Choice by Brenda Stoeker and Susan Allen When His Secret Sin Breaks Your Heart by Kathy Gallagher Every Man's Battle by Stephen Arterburn and Fred Stoeker (This book was very helpful for me to understand men’s struggle.)

Sexual Idolatry is at the heart of many of the wickedness in modern society. Frequently throughout the Bible, idolatry is linked with sexual immorality. Sexual immorality leads to idolatry because sexual immorality is a form of idolatry; likewise, idolatry often leads to sexual immorality. Learn about the nature of sexual immorality and how to escape the sex trap.

1 Corinthians 10:1-144 Sins the Church is FacingIdolatry 7 Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written: “The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry.”Sexual Idolatry 8 We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did—and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died. Testing 9 We should not test Christ, as some of them did—and were killed by snakes. Grumbling 10 And do not grumble, as some of them did—and were killed by the destroying angel.

Disordered sexual desires are ultimately a problem of worship. We seek ultimate satisfaction from earthly things, which become our idols. This session shows how the gospel forgives our idolatries and adulteries and transforms us into worshipers whose greatest delight is in God.

When the love for and the fear of God diminishes from God's people, spiritual compromise begins to trickle into our lives.

Download Outline SEXUAL HEALING RESOURCES COUNSELING RESOURCES: Call Focus on the Family’s Counseling Dept. – 719-531-3400 x7700. There are a limited number of Christian counselors who have been screened by them to see if they counsel by biblical principles. There are a few other biblical Christian counselors around who have not been through the network, but would be good. Do not assume someone is a biblical counselor just because they put “Christian” beside their name. We would suggest you do a brief interview before you begin with a counselor. Some questions you might ask are: Do you counsel according to biblical principals? What does that mean to you? How would you counsel someone in certain situations – such as “I’m just not happy in my marriage and I want out?” Or “I’m struggling with homosexual tendencies and I feel that is wrong. What should I do?” Or “I have been living in sexual sin, and my life is a mess. Can you help me?” Ask the counselor if they would be willing to tell you when they believe you are getting out of line with what the Bible says. Counseling can be expensive, but if it helps bring healing, it’s worth it! Many counselors will work with you on a sliding scale based on your ability to pay. If you need help to pay for counseling, talk to one of us on staff who you feel comfortable with, and the church may be able to help you cover the costs for a few sessions.
