What is the difference between Freedom Begins Here and a 12-step program like Celebrate Recovery?
A. Freedom Begins Here is not a traditional “recovery” program. The heart of Freedom Begins Here is to stand in the gap between sexual addiction recovery programs and the handful of books that haphazardly address the subject. This problem is so big and we have to stop thinking that the only people affected by it are those who attend a recovery group on Wednesday night. That’s why we say “It’s no longer about them. It’s about us.” And telling people that a book is available in the bookstore is not going to solve it either. Our burden is to provide resources that will spark a movement in the Christian church to start talking openly about this crisis that is eating away at 50% of Christian men and 20% of Christian women.
