The Miracle of Recovery

As an American or Western believer, culturally we are trained to appreciate the instantaneous in our lives, whether it be instant coffee, instant microwaveable food or popcorn, instant Internet access, instant cell phone access, and more. How many times a day do we push a button of some type and something occurs instantly?

Stop using God as a scapegoat for your out-of-control behavior

The human race has a fundamental flaw in its processing regarding “looking good.” We honestly believe we are to “look good” at all times. I have no idea how most of us believe in this but it is prevalent everywhere. From the student who forgot his homework but it was “his roommates' fault” or “the computer’s fault” to the parent who attempts to correct her child and inevitably the conversation is turned toward another sibling or some other child in the neighborhood that is really the one to blame for their behavior. This is nothing new; it goes on all the way back to Adam and Eve.

Quick Tips

Kindness Series #1 - Kindness is Like Oil

Kindness is something your spouse needs daily. Your spouse may not even know he or she needs it or even how to ask for it. It is just very obvious when kindness has run out.

Three Dailies for Marriage Success

Dailies are marriage recovery exercises that every couple can use to build and strengthen their relationship.

Attitude of Gratitude

When the enemy and lust wants to talk about your wife, it’s important to have a tried and true method to defeat this attack. Lust wants you to focus on your wife’s flaws. What you want to focus on is her awesomeness and the strengths she has. She is a uniquely designed woman of God and created just for you. You know her more intimately than anyone and would be the best person to highlight her strengths. Take 5 minutes right now and make a list of 5 to 10 things you absolutely love about your wife. For single guys, list 5 features in a woman of God. She is an amazing person - spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, physically. Place these on a note in your wallet or in your phone. Anytime you hear her being criticized in your mind, pull out your list and say these strengths out loud. You can start thanking God for these strengths in your wife. God loves hearing appreciation for the gift he has given you so freely. When you speak these out loud or thank God for your wife’s…

No More Shame

Guilt and shame are common feelings in early recovery, but as you move forward and begin to get first thirty and then ninety days of sobriety behind you, and actively pursue the steps, I find that most people begin to see and feel the guilt and shame break away. This is especially true after completing Step Five.

Lust Knows Its Voice. Do You?

Lust knows its voice is not nice so it cloaks itself in niceness. The intention is to capitalize on your weak moments for the express purpose of creating weakness in your life. That’s what perpetrators do. Believe the truth the next time lust tries to tell you how nice it is. Simply tell lust it’s lying and that you’ll take your weakness to Jesus where you will always become stronger.

Clean Class Four
Dr. Doug Weiss, professional psychologist and president of AASAT, discusses in this 4th Session of our Clean Class the two ways Christians approach the problem of being clean or not and the two sided problem that can occur if we are not clean.
Clean Class Three
In this 3rd session of our Clean Class, Dr. Doug Weiss, professional psychologist and president of the AASAT group discusses how your sexuality affects you and those around you, the importance of staying clean from sex addiction and how to do so.
Clean Class- Day Two
Dr. Weiss talks about what it means to be a protector and the role of men to protect women. Staying clean from sex addiction. Marriage was God's final creation. When you are married, you are God's son in law. How do you think God would grade you as his son in law? What we love we protect, and what we protect we love. If you are protecting a sexual secret, then you are loving the behavior or the pornography and hurting the people you love.
Clean Class - Day One
In this session I want you to prayerfully consider your boundaries around:

Recovery for Everyone

Unmanageable
