- Thanks to all the folks who posted words of encouragement this past week about Porn Sunday. I could definitely feel your prayers yesterday. I told someone that I could almost feel the weight of the topic while I was speaking. I've already received 2 reports of people who reached out for help as a result of the service. I'm so blessed to be in a church that allows us to tackle real life issues and watch God heal lives the way He does!
- Big surprise for me?...The amount of shock in the room as I read the stats on porn. Maybe because I've lived with these facts for so long but I was floored at the response.
- I didn't have time to go into detail, but if you're interested in the accountability software I mentioned, go to XXXchurch.com and you can download it for free. Here's how it works: You install the software and choose 1 or 2 friends that you trust who want to see you kick the porn habit. Every 2-4 weeks, they get an email of all the sites you've visited lately. You can't turn it off and you can't get around it. It doesn't block you from viewing porn. But you always know that someone is watching who loves you and wants you to stay pure. You'd be amazed how powerful that is.
- Sunday was my wife's birthday!!! (Please, no jokes about her birthday falling on Porn Sunday. She's heard them all already.) We had an awesome weekend together spending time one on one and with our girls. But ironically, I received the best gift of all. She reminded me once again just how much I love her. I hope you had a great weekend, Helga!
- Chapter 2 starts this weekend. I've had the privilege of being campaign director for this and I'm so looking forward to seeing how God's going to lead us into the next phase in CCC history. So can I just play the broken record one more time?....Pray. Get involved. Give. That's the goal of Chapter 2. Let's get it done!!

Jason, i can't begin to tell you how awesome you did yesterday. The service was one amazing one. The numbers shocked me, but for the reason that they where lower then I thought, which i guess is good. Any way, you did a great job with the service, and it made a big impression on me. Also, I thought about the jokes for your wife, but if she has heard them all, I guess they are pointless. lol. Any way, have a good week, and I can't wait till chapter 2.
Jason, I knew Sunday was going to be great. I started the day feeling an overpowering need to pray for you, your family and your safety - and I did all morning. And I know htat others were also praying. I knew Satan was on the run, that he did not like what you were going to say. But God in His goodness called on His people to pray for your protection and He answered our prayers. God is so good! You did a wonderful job. Thank you for allowing God to use you in such a powerful way. It was an uncomfortable topic and many people would have not had the nerve to address it.
You did a great job with some very difficult subject matter. A good balance of facts and practical application for change. I was, unfortunately, not shocked by the stats, but saddened to think of how many lives are being destroyed. I appreciate the leadership of our church so much that they are willing and able to tackle very real/controversial topics. God Bless!!
