    The Gospel of Jesus Christ is where we get our freedom from. Sure, we can get free from addictions like porn, but we're set free from the punishment of sins debt by the cross alone. This is the gospel, the good news, the very reason why God became flesh.


    I want to show you how the gospel isnt just good news you read about in the bible, know intellectually, or hear on Sundays. It can become engrained in the very fibres of your being through daily repetition of self evangelism


    This is a vital step when it comes to addiction because most guys I know struggle with worth, value and forgiveness. These are all found in the gospel and the works of Jesus. However, when they're misplaced and misunderstood, its easy to become deceived into a work based salvation that distances you from God... see the dilemma!?


    In this episode, ill share about a routine I developed a few years back that has been foundational to me and my ministry, my marriage, my intimacy with Jesus and my ability to grow even further in my freedom as a man of God


    Recommended reading to better understand Jesus and the Gospel: Romans, Corinthians, Ephesians and the Gospels with the lens of WHO Jesus was/is (Matthew, Mark, Luke or John)

  • S2E21: How Do I Pinpoint The Roots To My Porn Addiction?

    Looking for lasting freedom from porn? START with one of our 3 options here:

    1. Book a Call with our Team to work 1:1 with Coach Shawn: ⁠⁠⁠https://secrethabit.ca/call/⁠⁠⁠

    It can be HARD work to pinpoint the roots of your struggles with porn or other addictions. However, its the KEY to long lasting healing and freedom. If you dont get to the roots, you will never change the fruit. If you never change the fruit, you will never experience the joy of Christ.


    Heres what I wrote in the DeepClean community:

    If your trauma and unmet needs have to do with things that DID NOT happen, it's going to be pretty hard to remember specific events that hurt you.

    Why? Because what was your "normal" is the very trauma you must pinpoint.
    Try this tweak: Think about the things you wish you had growing up (emotionally, physically, spiritually) and ask "how did not having that affect me?"
    Be really honest here AND PLEASE, consider it from a child's perspective, not your adult perspective.


    I want to dig deeper into this idea and unpack it in this episode. Get ready to learn about the best way to pinpoint trauma, the question you must ask yourself, the 6 needs of every child and the way parents must respond to help their kids feel safe

    Since moving to Czech, I have had to push through a lot of adversity. The language barrier ahas been the #1 greatest challenge for me as someone who has the gift of communicating!

    However, through this season, there has been one go to habit I have developed that has gotten me through some of the toughest times. Its helped me hear God more clearly, praise Him more consistently and trust Him more deeply

    In this episode, I am going to talk about my morning routine that consists of journalling, reading the word and setting 3 focuses for the day.

    On top of that, I am going to share 3 tips on how to ensure you know the why, how and when behind effective journalling


    Ready to work with a coach?

    If you're looking to get to the deep roots of your addiction to porn, journalling will certainly help. However, the healing often happens when awareness meets therapy

                This idea came from a challenge I have been facing for the past 4 months and a conversation I had with my wife the other night.

                Whats one thing you can do each day that brings you dignity, draws you closer to God and infuses you with energy?

                Maybe you feel dry in your intimacy with God or you have been abdicating power in areas you have been called to lead?

                Maybe you sense the passion stir inside of you when you do ___ but havent made that a routine habit in your life yet

                Whatever it is, its time to seek a daily dose of Godly Dignity and hardness the power of feeling empowered

                Fruitfulness is vitally important to the Christian life. Jesus literally uprooted a fig tree that bore no fruit. If this is the case, then its time to start inspecting your porn addiction recovery for fruit.

                Most guys I work with are not experiencing the fruit that they could be. Its not to say they're relapsing all the time and their life is a mess... however, anything that is not fruitful IS fruitless... theres really no in between

                In this episode, Shawn Bonneteau takes the time to unpack what it means to not just be curious about your life, but to become skeptical. One of Shawns greatest strengths (and weaknesses lol) is that he is extremely skeptical and seeks evidence, facts and truth to back up claims or outcomes.

                Get ready to learn about:

                - Shawns journey to Christ and freedom from porn

                - How to inspect your life for fruit

                Have you ever considered the idea that you actually listen to yourself much more than your speak to yourself?

                We all have thousands of thoughts going through our mind all day. Sadly 75% of them are from bad sources - the flesh, the world and satan... that makes the odds of hearing good things pretty low. Not only that, so many of them are deep rooted, familiar and highly toxic. These are the ones you hear the most, especially after you make a mistake.

                In this episode Shawn Bonneteau unpacks the difference between listening and speaking and gives you some real life examples of how he has cut off the shame cycle after making a mistake.

                This concept is incredible for porn addiction recovery, but its also a holistic idea that can impact every area of you life
