Be Broken Ministries
Be Broken Ministries exists to bring the healing power of Jesus Christ into the lives of men (and women) who struggle with sexual sin. Be Broken was born out of Jonathan Daugherty's personal journey to freedom and the amazing story of how God restored his marriage after it seemed all hope was lost. The ministry provides help for strugglers as well as training seminars for church leaders to become better equipped to minister to congregation members who need help finding freedom. Visit BeBroken.com to receive insight, encouragement, education, resources, and counseling from a biblical perspective. Contact Be Broken Ministries at:

They operate a six-month residential program in Kentucky, where men find lasting freedom through an encounter with the living God.

There is no doubt that someone else looking at this discussion board has experienced similar circumstances to yours and they can help.

Have you heard of the saying that it takes a village to raise a child? In the case of addictions and other problems, no one can overcome these trials without the help of other people and the awesome grace of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

I truely believe that God works through all of us and that when you help someone else, they help to strengthen your faith and give healing to you as well. God is wonderful!
