I tried, but failed, to put all the puzzle pieces of figuring this sexual thing out on my own. The reality is, however, that we don’t often know the pieces we need and someone experienced with this sort of struggle can help us identify the missing pieces.
You don’t have to be another statistic, proving everybody struggles with moral failure. You can live sexually free.
You deserve to live in sexual freedom; not bondage. You deserve to experience life and joy, not guilt and shame.
“When I came to the part about father wounds the dam just broke and I cried and cried and was now finally starting to understand what was the driving force behind my sexual desires.”
I had never heard something like this before, and certainly not from God. Sure, I knew in my head I was saved by grace. But deep inside, from the place I actually live my life, I felt that God was waiting for me to get my act together before he officially decided if he forgave me or not.
A few weeks ago I sat down with a long-time family friend and casual mentor of mine, Merle Burkholder, to discuss men taking responsibility for their own sexuality.
I can hardly believe it. My new book, Live Free, is out today!
If you long for true freedom, if you want to be able to look yourself in the mirror and not feel ashamed of what you do or have done behind closed doors, don’t miss this series.
None of us want the bondage of pornography. Yet, unless we have something practical we can do with our sex drive that is not also sin, we will continue struggling with moral failure. It doesn’t matter how much we resist lust, or how much we rest in God’s promises that He will give us victory and remind ourselves of God’s truths concerning His plan for us. If there is not something we can do meaningfully in living out our sexuality, it looks pretty hopeless.
In this post is the official introduction to a book I’ve been working on for the last two years: Live Free – conquering lust and discovering the power of male sexuality.
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.
