Our Story
I started this website with my fiancée, Anna, so I’d like to begin with a personal note. The inspiration for Lust Free Life came from a need. My own need. I was exposed to adult content when I was 10 years old, and I’ve struggled with lust ever since. I had been living my life with a heavy burden and a broken Spirit for over 25 years. I honestly thought I could never get out of it.
It wasn’t until 2019 that I realized how messed up my life was. My wife, the mother of my two children, decided to end our marriage because of my uncontrollable lust issues. That’s when I realized I couldn’t keep living like this any longer. I needed to do something! I am now doing better in terms of lust, but the road to recovery wasn’t easy at all. It took years of prayers, research, therapy, support groups, and a lot of trial and error to help me put up all kinds of defenses to keep myself from reverting to a lust-driven life.
Isaiah 43: 18-19
18 “Do not remember the former things,
Or ponder the things of the past.
19 Listen carefully, I am about to do a new thing,
Now it will spring forth;
Will you not be aware of it?
I will even put a road in the wilderness,
Rivers in the desert.
What is Lust?
The biblical texts describe lust as a whole range of fleshly issues. The Bible asserts:
1 John 2:16
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
Therefore, lust is something physical, something you crave or are hooked to. Masturbation, porn, fantasizing about other people, and eventually acting on that desire by having an affair with the person. These are all things that fall under the category of lust.
I don’t believe “porn content and sites” should be blamed solely for someone’s addiction to this type of media. That is only a portion of the issue. Because our minds and eyes are the source of the problem, we must examine ourselves as well. Personally, I believe the problem can stem from an experience we had in the past.
Let’s ask ourselves…
Why do we continue to do these things even when we don’t like the outcome? Why do we allow lust to dominate our emotions and our lives?
Our Mission
We began this mission because we are absolutely positive that God wants us to assist other men and women who are struggling with lust. We want to share all the tools, resources, and support that we have discovered and learned over the last few years.
1 Peter 3:7
7 In the same way, you husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way [with great gentleness and tact, and with an intelligent regard for the marriage relationship], as with Lit a weaker vessel, the feminine.someone physically weaker, since she is a woman. Show her honor and respect as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered or ineffective.
Aside from helping people battle lust, we also want to help their romantic partners. These people most often suffer from betrayal trauma after they find out about their partner’s unfaithfulness.
Remember Peter, love your wife with great gentleness and tact. She is a fragile vessel that needs to be taken care of. Respect her!
