Dr. Roberts used to be our pastor. We started going to his church because of his Pure Desire ministry, and it was a great first step toward healing both of us. It is at the same time refreshing and depressing to hear someone speak about sexual addiction with such understanding and knowledge. It has been a long and painful road to where we stand today (which I haven't told you, is pretty good) but it has been worth it. But it's heartbreaking how big the problem is, and how ill-equipped the church seems to be to love addicts through to recovery. I want to be better equipped to help from where I stand, but I'm overwhelmed at the thought of it. But one day at a time, right? I listen to God and He leads me where He needs me to go...

"Sometimes you feel like Hosea, and you're just trying to take care of Gomer. 'Cause addicts lie and they'll betray you and they'll stab you in the back. But I see guys coming out, and I see their marriages restored and...it's worth the pain. It's worth the pain." --Dr. Ted Roberts, Pure Desire Ministries
