Have you ever achieved a good amount of sobriety time from porn or some other unwanted sexual behavior ... and then BAM ... You fall right back into it? 

It's called RELAPSE, and it can easily happen to all of us. But why does it occur and what do we need to do when it does occur. Those are the questions that I answer on this episode.

4 REASONS WHY RELAPSE OCCURS:

Reason #1 ... You neglect your recovery plan.

Reason #2 ... You think you've reached the summit.

Reason #3 ... You're not confessing everything.

Reason #4 ... You're unwilling to address the deeper issues.

----------------

3 THINGS YOU NEED TO DO WHEN RELAPSE OCCURS:

#1 ... Contact and Confess.

#2 ... Watch Your Game Films.

#3 ... Take Action Immediately.

E-202: Master of Puppets and Mortification of Sin!

Many Christian men battle depression ... even many Christian leaders. At times, I've had some rough battles with it myself. But over the years, I've been encouraged to learn that some of the greatest men who’ve ever walked the planet also battled it. These great men did not let it define them. They learned how to manage it, and went on to live incredible lives of deep and lasting impact. We see this with Moses, David, Jeremiah, Elijah, Jonah, Job, Paul, Charles Spurgeon, Winston Churchill, Abraham Lincoln, C.S. Lewis, and even Jesus Christ.

I drop all those names of great men on you to let you know that you’re not alone if you’re dealing with depression. Let that fact encourage you!

Listen to learn more.
