Welcome to episode #191! This week, Matt talks with Walter Perez on the importance of community and allowing others to help you in your journey to be porn-free.

Jesus gives you what you need before he gives you what you want.\xa0 \xa0

Walter prayed for one thing, but God knew what it was that he needed. Before Jesus heals the man lowered into the room by his friends, he forgave his sins. He does heal him, but it was more important for his sins to be forgiven. \xa0

Community shows you that you aren\u2019t alone.\xa0

You can help each other by talking about what you are learning or what God is showing you. You see that others are going through similar situations and can learn from what they did or are doing. In turn, when you are healthy, your story can be the one that can help another get and stay free.\xa0

Jesus died for All sin.\xa0

God\u2019s grace covers it all. You might think that you are alone in your own sexual preferences - in the type of porn you watch. Even if you are only watching something that is \u201cinnocent\u201d or \u201csoft\u201d porn, God\u2019s love covers all of it. We are not here to compare, Jesus wants you, has forgiven you, and loves you. Come as you are, but remember, don\u2019t stay as you are. There is hope for you to get help and be healthy and grow into whatever it is that God has for you in the next stage of life.\xa0
