Have you ever wanted to stop something so badly, yet couldn’t figure out how to stop. Or even why? Have you tried to stop lusting?

In this weeks podcast, just speaks to the importance of learning to love in recovery from unwanted sexual behavior, rather than just focusing on stopping the behavior.

Key takeaways:

  1. The goal of recovery should be to learn to love in a self-giving way, rather than just stopping the unwanted behavior.
  2. God’s mercy flows to the lowest places, and His grace is for those places. He is there right alongside us in those place. Let Him in.

Counter arguments:

  1. It may feel wrong to receive God’s mercy in places where we feel like we know better and keep doing it anyway.
  2. It may be difficult to open up those places to another person and ask for their help. When you are able to though, Regeneration is here.
