I give a rundown of each chapter and the main thrust of the book, then respond to (1) why I think everyone should read the book, and (2) where I differ (slightly) from Tisby in a way forward.
Ever since I used the hashtag #blacklivesmatter a couple of months ago on Facebook, people have believed I support the controversial Black Lives Matter movement. I do not “support” the movement. I critically engage it because I affirm the sentiment that black lives indeed matter.
Author Asher Witmer knows what it’s like to want freedom from sexual sin only to continually fail. We’re often told we need more personal discipline, that we need to think godly things instead of fleshly things.
What if I told you that discipline won’t solve your problem with lust?
Our male sexuality is given by God for advancing beauty and goodness. But somewhere along the line it becomes something that causes devastation and guilt. The good news is we don’t have to live with guilt. In Live Free, Asher Witmer shows us how we can find freedom from sexual sin, live with nothing to hide, and be able to fight for others.
