Framing “love” as a desire and “respect” as a need positions readers in a posture to diminish “love” and prioritize “respect.”
Men need respect as much as anyone needs respect. But we should define respect as treating someone with the dignity of being made in the image of God, not as always making them feel good and never contradicting them or trying to get them to change.
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.
