Becoming Whole

Pain has a way of exposing what we really worship. When I hit discomfort, my first instinct is often to look for relief fast and that same reflex can quietly push any of us toward distraction, fantasy, and porn. Suffering is not an accident in the Christian life, and it has everything to do with sexual integrity. In this episode, I share some of my own recent pain, especially the suffering of being confronted with my sin and the ways it has hurt other people. I reflect on confession, s...
