Hey friend!
It's been a minute. We were on vacation with the whole family, so time was short and I wasn't able to keep going with the Mosaic posts, so I hope you'll enjoy it's return this week!
Grace & Peace,

The Pornography Pandemic | Leslie Umstattd (For the Church)
I resonated with her third point: community is necessary to overcome this addiction. I think this is true for all addictions, but the greater challenge with sexual sin is that it's often kept so secret.

We believe the grace of God does this in each of us, so let's strive to encourage, pray for and walk with each other. Find more helpful articles from Fight the New Drug.
