Here is a brief summary of the episode.
Are You Keeping Secrets?
Secrets keep us bound in pornography and often lead to other forms of harmful sexual behaviour. Matt kept his struggle with porn hidden from everybody for different reasons. At home, he didn't want to let his parents down. At the rink, he didn't want to confess to non-Christians that he had this struggle with sin. What justifications do you tell yourself for why you need to keep your struggle a secret? Let's expose them so that you no longer need to be bound by this addiction! Every time you confess your secret struggle to somebody, the shame will lift off of you a little more each time.
Red Flags
Don't ever be prideful in victory. Matt was free from porn for 2.5 years but then fell back into his addiction deeper than ever! Why? He says it was all because he relied on himself and his own will power, not on God's strength and seeking a deep relationship with Jesus. When he learned practical tools on how to do this, he realized that he now knew the key staying free forever.
On The Other Side Of Addiction
Like so many people, God led Matt to turn his greatest area of struggle into a cause for freedom. He now teaches and trains people on how to get free from sexual addictions and how to help others do the same. God always has more in store for us. No matter where we're at, what struggles we have, or what we've done, God is always interested in moving us closer to His heart and into a life of greater purpose.
