Let’s face it! The statistics can be overwhelming! Our society has long been experiencing an epidemic that has nothing to do with COVID-19. According to the research firm The Barna Group from a nationwide study:
Do you know that over 1 in 3 (35%) married men are stepping outside of marriage by having sexual affairs, and 1 in 6 (17%) married women are cheating on their spouses?
Are you one of the 68% of church-going men and over 50% of pastors who view porn on a regular basis? Of young Christian adults 18-24 years old, 76% actively search for porn.
Can you relate to the 55% of married men and 25% of married women say they watch porn at least once a month?
Are you divorced or affected by divorce? The reality is that most divorces (56%) involve one party having an “obsessive interest” in pornographic websites.
Are you surprised to know that affairs affect Christian marriages at the same rate as marriages nationwide?
The truth is that most men struggle with sexual integrity, whether it is relational affairs, pornography, lust, or masturbation—and many are trapped in bondage to it.
Are you one of the many of the people who struggle to be free from their bondage and intensely desire to live in sexual integrity for themselves, God and their spouses?
It is likely that you answered yes to at least one of these questions. You are not just a statistic, but breaking free requires more than willpower and determination. There is help right here! It’s called the L.I.F.E. (Living in Freedom Everyday) Recovery Class for Men.
The L.I.F.E. Recovery Class for Men is a confidential class dedicated to helping men to escape from the bondage and consequences of unwanted or compulsive sexual behaviors and to equipping them to walk in God’s unconditional love!
While not a therapy group, the L.I.F.E. Recovery Class for Men is facilitated by a married Christian man who is a trained mentor in the area of sexual integrity, who has experienced both devastation and transformation from sexual brokenness, and who has facilitated the content and curriculum in the L.I.F.E. Recovery Guide for Men now for four years.
The L.I.F.E. Recovery Class for Men incorporates guided curriculum, spiritual discipline, honesty and openness in a small group, and ongoing support in a safe setting for those dealing with sexual brokenness. The ongoing support so critical to the process of transformation comes from the connection of lives through this small group, which involve open, transparent, and accountable connections with fellow strugglers.
The L.I.F.E. Recovery Group Class for Men meets virtually via Zoom, with weekly lessons, individual homework and group discussion of the specific curriculum for approximately seven months.

Men who struggle with porn, lust, promiscuous sex, and infidelity can have hope to finally experience some freedom!
