  • Luke & Alana's Story | Husband living in a hotel finds healing

    “Can adult men really gain mastery over sexual (pornography) addiction? Can marriages recover from severe betrayal trauma?”

    Luke & Alana, leaders and coordinators of Men of Moroni, our self-mastery training program for LDS men, share their story of a 15yr marriage. Alana pregnant with their 5th child, found pornography on her husband's phone 7yrs after the first discovery. 7yrs ago they took a trip to their bishop and attended a few addiction recovery meetings but that was not enough to keep Luke from acting out down the road. The recent discovery led to a whole lot more disclosures from Luke, Luke living in a hotel to find his own way to recovery, and Alana finding healing on her own through the Atonement of Christ, while raising their 4 kids alone and pregnant. After finding the WORTH Group & Men of Moroni from Life Changing Services, they continued to learn more tools to first help heal themselves and then their marriage. Though their marriage was shattered by addiction, it was able to heal through the Atonement of Jesus Christ.

      • 6. WORTH & Eternal Warriors: Hali's Story | A Wife's trial she'd never give back

        Hali, mother of 4 shares her story about going through challenging times with her husband and reached out to Life Changing Services for help. She went through counseling sessions, found tools through Eternal Warriors classes, was part of the WORTH group and was able to learn about what satan was trying to do to her as a woman, wife, mother and daughter of God. Being part of the WORTH group was hard and took a lot of courage to be part of it, but felt a huge sense of relief, comfort and healing once she decided to join. It gave her connection unlike anything she had ever had. It's not "husband bashing." She would never have asked for this trial but she'd never give them back because of what she has learned. Being part of Eternal Warriors program helped to give her tools for her family to use right now. Eternal Warrior's program helped teach her a "Warrior Prayer" to have a stronger connection with God. GRL PWR Goals has strengthened her and she continues to use the tools she has learned to strengthen her children and family. She is now an Eternal Warriors mentor! This interview was first recorded Jan. 25, 2018.

          • 5. Sons of Helaman: Al's Story | A young man's fight against pornography since age 13

            Karen Broadhead interviews a Warrior General, young man about 18yrs old, named Al. From Alabama, middle child, started struggling with pornography when he was 13 and arrived at Sons of Helaman Program around 14 after his Mother found LCS. Grateful for the Sons of Helaman program because it helped him out of isolation and to know he was not alone in this battle. Wanted to hide it and keep it a secret, but realized it was impossible to do it alone, the guys at group are there to support each other. Parents were genuine in wanting to help and be there for them. Mother is also part of the Mothers Who Know Program. Ecclesiastical leaders helped him by showing him love and the power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Turning Points were in an interview with his Bishop for a Temple Recommend and then later on an interview with his Stake President to serve a Mission. Mother's support was so important and essential for him.

            He is a son of God who fights for his family, future family, fights against the darkness and fights to bless others. This interview was first recorded on Jan 11, 2017.

              Karen Broadhead interviews Stephanie who shares what it's like to be a mother of a spiritual giant who struggled with an addiction to pornography at the age of 11. Her son's addiction started slow and then after several tries of meeting with local leaders and others who tried to help, Stephanie was out of ideas on how to help her son overcome this addiction. He started with feelings of isolation, separation from family and friends and then struggled with feelings of suicide. She and her husband were desperate to find anything that would help, her husband found an article of the Sons of Helaman program from LCS. Her son was skeptical but she was able to successfully "drag" her son there and for the first time he realized he was not alone, and was able to see that he was and still is a son of God, a spiritual giant. He learned something so critical about his battle against the adversary, with the help of Jesus Christ and skilled Clinicians from LCS he was able to start his recovery, was able to learn how to fight back and is overcoming his addiction and currently serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This interview was first recorded Feb 8, 2017.
