Imagine battling a 15-year addiction while trying to live up to the expectations of being a pastor's son.

Hosted by Randy Mortensen, this podcast dives into Timothy's journey from the depths of porn and sex addiction to a life renewed by faith and purpose.
Growing up in a Christian home, Timothy struggled with rejection and the pressures of purity culture during the late '90s and early 2000s. His candid discussion reveals how easily accessible porn became a coping mechanism for his emotional pain. But his story doesn't end there. Through the guidance of a mentor who wasn't a professional coach but a powerful guide, Timothy began to address the root causes of his addiction, not just the symptoms.
He emphasizes the importance of vulnerability and support, especially within the church community. Timothy's journey highlights how crucial it is for churches to openly discuss addiction and provide supportive environments where men can share their struggles and seek healing. This episode offers a heartfelt message of hope, urging men not to give up and reminding them that recovery is always possible.
