Freeball Podcast

In this episode we tackle the topic of how we get our sin under control. Does it happen by us trying harder, is it a work of the Holy Spirit, or a combination? We are once again joined by our last episode's guest, Shay Hurley to chime in on this hot topic. Join us as we discuss.

In this episode we feature one of our friends and leaders of the men's purity movement in Minnesota, Shay Hurley. He is joining us to discuss what healthy accountability looks like for men who want to have brothers to do battle with against the fight to stay pure. We'll talk about not only what healthy accountability looks like, but why it matters.

In this episode we talk about how lust and porn affect your life when you bring it into marriage and how to avoid the common pitfalls associated with mixing them together.

In this episode we talk about what real and healthy vulnerability looks like amongst men who are serious about wanting to break free from sexual sin. We'll discuss what to share and what not to share based on our own experiences with accountability groups.

Any man who's tried to break free from the lust cycle knows exactly what we mean when we mention "the streak". It's so easy to measure ourselves against the number of days we've gone without acting out. We start get a false sense of righteousness as we believe the lie that God loves us more when we get a good streak or less when we fall into temptation. It's also easy to measure and compare ourselves to the guy who has more or less days in his streak. This week we break down how we view "the streak" when it comes to sexual purity.

This week on the Freeball Podcast we tackle the controversial topic of sex drive and boners. We'll talk about the good, the bad and the not so good when it comes to operating within the limits God has given us as well as the danger of letting your sex drive get out of control.

In this episode we discuss where the line is between using our sexual desire as God indented and when it crosses over to lust and sin. 

Any man who has attempted to break free from the cycle of sexual sin knows how heavy "the streak" can weigh on your conscience. Whether it's measuring your acceptance from God based on how many days you've lasted or comparing yourself to the other guy in your small group who's gone more or less days without "acting out," we've all likely wrestled with it. This time on Freeball Podcast the guys discuss the importance of not measuring yourself based on your own efforts and not counting the days.

In part two of this topic we expound upon not just why sexual sin isn't typically addressed in the church, but also offer solutions as to how it could be brought up in a beneficial manner to the church body.
