Send us Fan MailFor 23 years, Shane lived trapped in an addiction to pornography.He tried programs, accountability groups, Bible studies, discipleship, and every solution he knew to try. But no matter what he did, he could never go more than three weeks without failing again.Then one day, his wife gave him a sobering ultimatum:“You can have pornography, or you can have your family. But you can’t have both.”That moment woke Shane up and gave him the courage to try one more time.In this powerful and honest conversation, Shane shares how becoming a student of the Truly a Masterpiece Course helped him finally experience breakthrough. He explains the life-changing difference between confessing the symptom of sin and addressing the deeper root—unbelief.Today, Shane is experiencing freedom, joy, and deeper love than he ever thought possible, and that freedom is now overflowing into every area of his life and relationships.Shane said: “Knowing what I know now, I would have paid thousands of dollars for this training and considered it a bargain.”This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation.Part 1 is about finding freedom. Part 2 is about life after freedom.If you’ve ever struggled with shame, addiction, self-doubt, or feeling stuck, this conversation will encourage you deeply.Time Stamps01:00 Meet Shane3:31  A Year and a half free3:39 The cost of self-doubt04:41 Shane's mindset while living with the addiction0:5:49 The ultimatum06:31 How he was first introduced to pornography07:05 23 years addicted and never more than 3 weeks without a failure07:22 What he had tried to find freedom08:32 What motivated Shane to try again09:37 "I knew I needed to solve this porn problem... but I got so much more"12:23 Nowhere else to turn13:20 The effects on his wife14:00 The breakthrough16:51 Shame speaking louder than truth18:04 Struggled with "unbelief" but he was not an unbeliever19:37 "In Christ" is enough19:49 the change was almost instant20:32 Free indeed21:05 My heart posture is what caused the change... it wasn't my words21:43 Two surprising things Shane was never asked to do24:12 Truly a Masterpiece is not theropyConnect with Craig @CraigWalkerCaochingFree eBook: 5 Lies Christian Men Believe That Keep Them Stuck  https://craigwalkercoaching.com/5liesConnect with Craig  @CraigWalkerCaochingFacebook:  https://www.facebook.com/craigwalkercoachingInstagram:  https://www.instagram.com/craigwalkercoachingLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/craig-walker-1816367/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@craig.walker.coachYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@craigwalker9197Get a copy of Craig's Book SHAMELESS The Life You Were Born to Love https://amzn.to/44vldsQSign up for the Safe Husband Three-Day Free Workshop: Secure Men Make Safe Homes https://craigwalkercoaching.com/resourcesJoin the Masterpiece Brotherhood Men's Group: https://craigwalkercoaching.com/brotherhood
