As a male living in a hyper-sexualized culture, the onslaught of visual ads meant to stimulate the mind to action is constant. From TV shows to billboards to the Internet, our culture is enticing all ages of men, from young to old, to lust. Consequently, many of our young men are falling prey to easily-accessible pornography from an early age…and such was my battle.Therefore, I am very happy to see a group of men stepping up to help the local church deal with this major issue. This organization is known as “Freedom Begins Here.” A good friend of mine, Kevin Huguley, from Rush of Fools let me know about this group. So far, I have liked what I have seen. So, store this resource up for a time when you need it, or when you need to help another young man fight this battle for his soul.
Hey this is a pretty cool site. Read through the sex notes. Loved the joke about the grits and coffee!!!
As the lead producer on the FBH project (I’m also an passionate worship leader and survivor of the 70′s), I can tell you that we still have a long way to go before the church is really ready to address this issue corporately. Sexual addiction is the ultimate hot potato in the church today. Pastors are being confronted with it in counseling situations, in men’s groups, and in their own lives. Yet, more often than I wish to enumerate, we get this frightening response from local church pastors when we call to tell them about FBH — “Oh, we don’t have that problem here.”
The ROF guys have taken an enormous risk by partnering with FBH. But the task is so much bigger than that. If 50 percent of Christian men are addicted to pornography, then the other 50 percent need to be equipped to walk along side these struggling brothers and make a differnce. NOW. We can’t do it alone. ROF can’t do it alone. But one on one, you can make a difference. Be accountable. Live free.
