George is fond of saying,
“The only men who struggle with porn are those who’ve seen it.”
Tonight, Bill and George take a look at that reality with Michael Cusick. Michael shares his own story of sexual addiction, he’ll encourage you with his story and show you there’s hope from this particular addiction.
From Michael’s book, Surfing For God:
“Every man who knocks on the door of a brothel is knocking for God.” – G. K. Chesterton
What if lust for porn is really a search for true passion?
In a world where there are 68 million searches for pornography every day and where over 70 percent of Christian men report viewing porn in the last year, it’s no surprise that more and more men struggle with an addiction to this false fantasy. Common wisdom says if they just had more willpower or more faith, their fight would be over. Is the answer really that simple?
According to the counselor and ministry leader Michael John Cusick, the answer is no—but the big truth may be much more freeing.Backed by scripture, Cusick uses examples from his own life and from his twenty years of counseling experience to show us how the pursuit of empty pleasure is really a search for our heart’s deepest desire—and the real key to to resistance is discovering and embracing the joy we truly want.
Cusick’s insights help readers understand how porn struggles begin, what to do to prevent them, and most importantly, how to overcome the compulsion once it begins. In the end, this powerful book shows us all how the barrier built by porn addiction can become a bridge to abundant life.
