Porn Addiction Recovery Tool: Always on Guard and what that looks like
Porn Addiction Recovery Tool: Always on Guard and what that looks like Often we have trouble understanding what it means to always be on Guard. (1 Cor. 16:13) When in recovery it’s easy to get complacent and feel good when temptation is low and we feel like “it must be over” but in reality we need to constantly be aware of our state of mind and heart. I believe…

Do You Use Music or Does Music Use You?
Do You Use Music or Does Music Use You? I was talking with someone the other day as he described the impact music sometimes had on him. He has a history of liking pretty heavy music and was noticing that when he played it he would find himself getting frustrated or angry. Our conversation continued as we explored some of what was going on and whether or not that…
Rethinking Temptation – The Church of Porn or the Arms of Jesus
The number of men I speak to that describe how afraid they are of temptation is incredible. I suppose when you think of it, it makes sense after all.

Going Solo is Dangerous, Take a Wookie With You!
I recently found myself relating to a few themes that I have found in Star Wars. I guess that shouldn’t be much of a surprise considering the recent release of “The Force Awakens” but I think I have some grace given that I’ve named my daughter after THE Star Wars Princess and once named a dog Yoda. So, here is the first in a coming series of Star Wars Related…
Rules – Relationship = Rebellion; A Parenting Principle
A core theme that we teach at Doing Family Right is this: “Rules without Relationship = Rebellion.” Dr. Dave Currie was the first person I heard it from, and he doesn’t hesitate to admit that he heard it first from someone else, but we have grabbed onto it and developed it from there. This statement usually causes some degree of bewilderment for many who initially hear it, but that quickly…
Describing the Risk of “Naked Pictures” to Our Children
Talking to our kids about porn is tricky to say the least. Parents regularly ask how to bring up the topic with younger children, particularly in a way that doesn’t draw too much attention to what is supposed to be something we are trying to help them avoid. This was a major issue for me too when I considered telling my kids about internet dangers. Most times we are also…
