August 12, 2019 by Matthew Snider

Stop Trying to Cook without Food

July 30, 2019 by Josh Glaser

Have you been trying to apply spiritual disciplines to work your way out of a sinful habit? I know so many people who dive headlong into doing Christian things in hopes of overcoming an area of sin, only to be disappointed again and again. Jan committed herself to memorizing a new Scripture verse each week …

Your Kids’ Future and Your Past

June 12, 2019 by Josh Glaser

With five kids of my own and countless conversations with parents everywhere, two things have become clear to me as a dad seeking to raise kids in a digitally-connected, porn-saturated culture: First, no one has a perfect road map or a 3-step method, for parenting in our day. Not even the Bible—as absolutely central and …

How Does God Restore Sexuality?

March 26, 2019 by Josh Glaser

When I was 22, I remember walking alone across my college campus late at night, ashamed and angry. I looked up at the stars and prayed out loud, “God, I know you love me, and I love you. I also know you hate what I’m doing and I hate it too. So why won’t you …

Merciful Hunger

March 12, 2019 by Josh Glaser

You should see the way I look at a menu. It’s ridiculous. I peruse the whole thing, narrow down my options, then narrow those down again, then go back and forth weighing the remaining options. I think about calories, calculate cost, try to predict how I’ll feel when I’m done, and consider how likely I …

Humble and Whole

February 26, 2019 by Josh Glaser

Last week, we explored the surprising reality that although it seems like we have no control over the things preventing us from making the changes necessary to overcome our addictions, it’s actually more often the case that the crises themselves are a part of whatever addiction we’re wrestling. I remember a time early in my …

Following Fantasies

November 27, 2018 by Josh Glaser

“What are you really looking for?” Chris was in the midst of searching for pornography when he ended up on the phone asking an older Christian brother for help. Chris had struggled with viewing porn for so many years at this point, and he’d tried and tried to break free from his habit. Yet here …

Engage in Better Fantasies

November 20, 2018 by Josh Glaser

I wrote last week about the importance of moving the battle line from resisting porn to resisting sexual fantasy. Far from being benign, sexual fantasy is dangerous because it is where a person disconnects from reality and moves into unreality. And so sexual fantasy is both what opens the door to porn and what fuels …

A Bigger Problem Than Porn

November 13, 2018 by Josh Glaser

People everywhere are starting to get serious about pornography addiction. But for everyone who struggles with porn, they have a much more dangerous problem. Sexual fantasy. We need to talk more about this. I think we typically don’t, both because fantasy is very personal and because people don’t think fantasy is very significant, especially in …

The Reality Of Desire

January 15, 2018 by Rev. Bob Ragan

“Jesus turned and saw them following and said to them, ‘What are you seeking?'” ~John 1:38 Do you know what you want?  For what do you wish?  What do you seek?  Each human being, every day of their life, wrestles in some way, shape or form with desire. As human beings, made in the image …

One:One | Conversation with Emily Audio

September 27, 2016 by Michelle Dunn

Conversations about sex and pornography have, for too long, been relegated to men’s groups. Confusion and temptation don’t target a specific population, but confront all of humanity. In a recent conversation we had with a college student here at Regen, she shared her story of hiding, sin, and the importance of community and grace. If we, …

Temptation and Soul-Care

August 30, 2016 by Josh Glaser

Underneath whatever persistent temptations you’re experiencing you have a God-given need for something—something good, clean, and life-giving. A friend of mine recently visited Haiti. One morning, he saw a young boy walking to school along a muddy dirt road pocked with tire tracks. As he watched, the child pulled out an empty bottle, knelt down …

You May Need to Quit Fighting

August 23, 2016 by Josh Glaser

Can you think of an area of your life where you’re losing an ongoing battle with temptation, returning to a particular sin again and again? If so, maybe you need to quit fighting. When we talk about dealing with temptation, we often use words like struggle, fight, battle or war. With good reason. We are …

Men, We’ve Got To Remember

August 9, 2016 by Josh Glaser

Men have forgotten who they are. The masses of men regularly viewing porn, sleeping around, losing all resolve at the sight of naked flesh—these reveal that on some deep level man has forgotten. Men, you are meant for more than temptation tells you you are. Jesus did not go through such trouble to leave you …

Saying No To Temptation When You Don’t Want To

July 26, 2016 by Josh Glaser

What do you do in moments of intense temptation? When I was struggling with strong and frequent temptations to view porn, a friend of mine gave me this counsel: “If you want to show God you love Him, obey Him.” His advice was both unarguably true and utterly unhelpful. I wanted to love God with …

A Case of Mistaken Enemy

July 19, 2016 by Josh Glaser

Last week, I talked with at least a couple men up against a familiar enemy in their pursuit of sexual integrity. They’re not unique. Many, many Christians—both men and women—seeking sexual purity fight this same enemy. The problem is, this enemy they’re fighting isn’t an enemy, but a friend. Are you or someone you love …

The Sound of Inevitability

May 31, 2016 by Josh Glaser

A growing number of men and women are viewing pornography. But what’s even more disquieting is how many people view pornography use as unavoidable. Even among Christians who believe watching pornography is sinful, a growing number seem to believe porn use is inevitable, at least occasionally. It’s not my fault, it’s everywhere! What am I …

Battle Training For Men In the War Against Temptation

May 22, 2016 by Josh Glaser

What Challenges Do You Face With Temptation? Is looking at pornography a problem for you? Or do you find yourself doing something against your beliefs online or with some other person? Have you tried to stop and found yourself still going there anyway? Do you ask yourself why and don’t have the answers or resources …

Courage to Love

May 2, 2016 by Josh Glaser

People aren’t created to lust. But many people do. Most Christians I know who struggle with lust have one of two responses: They give in to temptation or they run away. Given the option between the two, running away is better. But running away from temptation isn’t our goal. At least not if we want …

A Different Approach to Desire

April 26, 2016 by Josh Glaser

We have two typical responses when confronted with desire. The first is to indulge it. We want what we want and we want it now. This is the starting place for most of us even as little children. Some of us never outgrow it. We can trace this approach back to our first father and …

Beautiful

April 19, 2016 by Josh Glaser

When I was young, I would beg my dad to pull over whenever we’d drive by a beautiful sunset. I didn’t know why, I just knew it was something too good to miss. I had to see it, had to take it in. As a teenager, I became captivated by pornography. I didn’t know why, …
