Meet Tim

Tim tells his story of how a neighbor repeatedly sexually abused him as a child. Tim shares how this led to an addiction to pornography as a teenager. Tim did not tell anyone about the abuse or pornography use and he felt burdened by his secrets. His mother caught him using pornography. God used this incidence to open up a family dialogue about the sexual abuse Tim had experienced and also the sexual abuse each of his family members had encountered also. Tim notes the sincere Christian faith of his parents at the time. He came to Christ six months after revealing his secret past.He describes how Jesus has shown him mercy and patience. Over time Jesus has freed Tim from the pornography addiction and other burdens weighing Tim down.

Meet Bob and his wife

Bob talks about starting a sexual life in his early teens, including a pornography habit. His sexual life led to the abortions of several babies. When Bob met his wife, they also ended up having an abortion. They describe the absolutely devastating effects of abortion on their lives. God took these broken individuals and showed them His forgiveness and love for them. They repented of their sins, and both accepted Christ as their Lord and Savior. They struggled to have children for several years into their marriage, but God has blessed them with two sons.

Meet Andy

Andy shares how he struggled with a pornography addiction. He felt trapped by the addiction and tried to free himself of it in different ways. Nothing worked, until he contemplated the gospel and what Jesus’ death on the cross meant for him personally. He understood his sin of pornography use and that this sin was detrimental to his relationship with God. He repented. He offers hope that the gospel can set anyone free from their addictive sins.
