#215: Frank Paine, Breaking Free from Porn's Chains


Listen Later

Frank Paine shares his journey from a devastating pornography addiction and legalism to finding freedom through understanding his identity in Christ. After years of smashing laptops, crying in closets, and feeling condemned, Frank discovered that true freedom comes not from trying harder but from embracing who God says he is.

• Grew up with minimal religious background but felt drawn to God from childhood
• Struggled with pornography addiction for over a decade
• Experienced crushing shame and believed God was punishing him for his failures
• Tried various solutions including Celebrate Recovery, Pentecostal and Adventist churches
• Battled legalism that made him believe his salvation depended on his behavior
• Discovered Love Reality Bible Studies in 2022, which transformed his understanding
• Learned that his identity is rooted in Christ, not in his behavior
• Found freedom by believing what God says about him rather than identifying with his sin
• Began working with a life coach who helped him apply gospel truth to daily living
• Now ministers to others struggling with similar issues

If you're trapped in cycles of shame and addiction, stop identifying with what you're doing and start identifying with what God's Word says about you in spite of what you're doing. The freedom you seek comes from believing the truth about your identity in Christ.
