What does it mean... sexually broken?  Well, being sexually broken means that our sexuality has been damaged - it is not what God intends. For some this means addicted to pornography, masturbation, or sex itself. This includes both heterosexually addicted and homosexually addicted. Same-sex attraction is also not God's best for His children, although society has made same sex attraction (brokenness) a culture in and of itself. A child experiences hurts throughout the lifespan that causes him/her to question their identity... to question their beliefs about themselves. This can show itself in either addicted sexual behaviors, relationship problems, or sexual identity questions.

Am I Gay? A person may feel attracted to someone of the same sex - they may even feel as though they love someone of the same sex, but this is rooted deeply in their identity and lack of understanding of their true identity in Christ. While society would say that being gay is a "lifestyle", a state of being that cannot be changed, we believe that "gayness" is a state of brokenness and something that the Great Counselor, Jesus Christ Himself, can heal. Because it is rooted in sexuality and identity it is oftentimes a difficult road, but not a hopeless one. It means reexamining the events of childhood,
parental influence, possible childhood abuse, and beliefs about oneself. The most important thing to remember is that God loves each one of us exactly where we are, He just wants us to see His best for us and provide true freedom to be the creation He intended - fully Man or fully Woman.

What if I Can't Stop? You may be struggling in the midst of deep addiction right now. You may be participating in some form of addictive sexual behavior (pornography, internet pornography, compulsive masturbation, sexual fantasy, anonymous sex, multiple sexual partners) and feel that you cannot stop. You need to talk to someone... you need someone who can step in and offer accountability and interruption from your usual acting out. Please remember that you are not "bad" or "disgusting" - you are caught in an endless cycle of uncontrolled sin that is fueled by a bigger problem - pain. The pain that drives you to "act out" is the root, the acting out is just the response tot he pain. You have to stop the addictive cycle first, then address the painful root... the hurt that only Christ can see and He will address it uniquely in your life. You need Christian Brothers and Sisters to come alongside you and offer hope, accountability, and love. You also need a Christian Brother or Sister who will offer you a hand to hold along the way as Jesus reveals the hurt and pain causing the addictive behavior. This is why a good Christian counselor is needed. We are available to help.
