Frequently Asked Questions.
I’m almost 18 years old, but there is a sin that I would never forgive myself for. It was because of watching porn (basically) gay porn. I was full of lust for men and then I fell in a trap and I made a gay masturbate for me. I believe in Jesus that he forgave my sin. I just can’t forgive myself of what I did and what I did to God. I always feel horrible, and I can’t even tell my accountability partner what I did. It’s been 3 years since that happened. How could I live with such guilt? What would I tell my future wife about this situation?
If you have confessed it and it has been three years and you are still living with guilt and shame then you need to know that is not from God. I would recommend that you get some counseling to help you through it or talk to a trusted friend or pastor.
Hey I’ve been struggling with porn for a long time. Its been a off and on thing. One time when I was struggling I found your site. I love what u guys do. I was doing good for a while, your site helped. But recently my addiction has been harder. Thanks to people around me I now have accountability, and the programs on my electronocs. My question is how can you guys go to adult conventions and preach God without falling o your flesh? I’m just curious.
Great question! The easy answer is Jesus but here are a few thoughts:
1) This type of outreach isn’t for everyone.
2) No one is teflon & we realize that so accountability is a big must.
Ultimately we rely on God and try to make sure our teams are made up of people who have a lot of strength in this area of their lives.
Is there a guarantee that people won’t succumb to lust? No
Is there a possibility that someone could end up going home and looking at porn after? Yes
But we do our best to prevent this from happening by concentrating on a countability, focusing on Jesus, and having open conversations throughout the whole process so no one feels alone if they so struggle at some point.
Hi my name is Braeden and if been addicted to porn for a year now with only one way out, telling my mum but I have a fear of discipline and every time she calls me with an angry voice extream dread hits my heart like a cannon shot, I can’t keep living with this secret but I’m to scared to tell her that I’m going through this, this is actually my worst fear. On top of all this my porn addiction has taken a toll on my relationship with God, Iv received many emails from Craig Gross but I have no idea how to write back, any ways I know that God is calling me to tell my mum about my porn addiction but I’m too scared and until I do tell her God won’t hear my prayer’s, how do I overcome this fear of man so that I can overcome porn ? 🙁
I would encourage you to study the scriptures about confession- about mercy and about forgiveness. If you don’t feel you can talk to your mom right now about this- perhaps you can talk to a trusted friend or pastor/ youth pastor?
