UGP 199 - I gave the guilt and shame of my porn addiction to Jesus - Ray Adams - Part 2 Jul 16, 2022

Show notes

As a Mormon Ray could never find a way to offload the guilt and shame of his sin, especially pornography, that was like a bag of rocks on his back. In fact, every attempt to try harder, live better, do more only met with failure that only added more rocks to his burden. One day in desperation he called out to Jesus to do for him what he could never do for himself, and in an amazing gift of grace, Jesus took the porn addiction completely away. It has led a to a life of transformed relationships, both with God and others, and Ray isn't about to go back. He's found too much love, forgiveness, and grace.
