How Empathy Heals Porn and Sexual Addiction for Christian Men

📻 START YOUR WEEK WITH HOPE ON 𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙈𝙖𝙣’𝙨 𝘽𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙡𝙚 𝙋𝙤𝙙𝙘𝙖𝙨𝙩 Licensed counselors JJ West and Doug Barnes explore the role of empathy in sexual integrity recovery—why it matters, why it’s hard, and how it transforms your healing journey.​ ☎️ 𝐄𝐏𝐈𝐒𝐎𝐃𝐄 𝐇𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐒 What sexual addiction really is: misusing sexuality outside God’s design to manage internal pain, not just a “behavior problem.”​ Why “just stop it” doesn’t work, and how focusing only on behavior blocks empathy and real change. How God models empathy: Jesus with the woman caught in adultery (John 8), Psalm 34:18, and Hebrews 4:15—He feels with us, not just for us. Empathy vs. sympathy: sympathy says, “I feel for you,” while empathy says, “I’m willing to feel this with you.” How learning to receive God’s empathy helps you extend it to yourself and to a hurting spouse who is grieving and triggered by betrayal. 📚 FEATURED NEXT STEP 𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙈𝙖𝙣’𝙨 𝘽𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙡𝙚 𝙄𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙫𝙚 – A 3‑day workshop to confront sexual integrity issues, receive empathy, and practice new tools in a safe, Christ‑centered environment.​ 👉 Learn more & register: https://newlife.com/workshops/every-m... 📧 BONUS CONTENT & CONTACT Get exclusive EMB bonus content: email [email protected] with “Bonus Content” in the subject line.​ First‑time EMB workshop attendee?
