Together they ask a question many people in porn addiction recovery are afraid to say out loud: why do we still struggle?\n\nYou’ll hear why temptation is not the same as sin, why Jesus was tempted and never sinned, and what it means that He learned obedience through what He suffered. You’ll also hear a fresh way to read the garden of Eden, where God meets Adam and Eve’s shame with compassion instead of anger, and why God is not the author of your shame. Then the guests get practical: what to do in the moment you feel the pull, how to move toward something good instead of only fighting something bad, and how to take recovery one day at a time.\n\nAs Dr. Gill says, “The struggle is normal. The tyranny of it is not.”\n\nIf you’re ready for support, find a Pure Desire group at puredesire.org/groups or talk with a clinician at puredesire.org/counseling. You are not alone."}
