When we talk about porn and sexual addiction, we tend to focus on the obvious: explicit content, physical cravings, and compulsive behaviors.

In today's world, pornography and masturbation are widespread, affecting people of all backgrounds, including Christians who seek to live according to biblical values.

Let's explore what the numbers reveal and why addressing this issue is essential for those striving for freedom and wholeness.

Adventure is the key to making physical strength an engaging, purpose-driven pursuit rather than just another task. When you tie your training to an exciting challenge—whether it’s preparing for a backpacking trip, signing up for a Spartan race, or even just exploring a new hiking trail—you shift your mindset.
