Summary
At the root of every struggle with ongoing, unwanted sexual sin is a lie about God—and it keeps you from the very things that bring transformation: connection with God and others. Hear how God meets you in the messiness, why your anger is a good thing, and God’s promise to complete the good work that He started in you.
