Todays blazing epidemic of pornography, fueled by the Internet, is in its infancy stages and most are clueless to the cause and effect of its poison. Through candid transparency and vulnerability about his own battles, Brendon not only addresses the problem head on, but he also gives a solid understanding as to why people use porn and how to practically overcome it. This book, free from shame-tactic motivation, is not just a how to overcome porn guide, its a life map to learn how to come alive to the world right in front of you.

INTRODUCTION

There I stood, a grown man of twenty-eight years, yet never having felt more like a scared little boy in my entire life. I was looking into the eyes of the woman I lovedthe woman I had just committed two months earlier to love faithfully and truly until the day I diedand all I could see was the agony caused by my lies and actions. I had promised to protect and love my wife with all I am. I never expected I would be the source of such devastating pain in her life. I could see the pain of betrayal in her broken expression. I could feel the shattering of trust with the person whose trust I valued most, and it made my heart ache. Yet, I had no excuse. I desperately wanted one, but there was no denying or deluding myself about one simple fact: I had chosen hiddenness and deception. I had chosen porn.

Pornography is a multi-billion-dollar industry that has flooded our society, and it only continues to increase at an incredibly rapid rate. We have easy access to it wherever there is an Internet connection. And even if we arent looking at actual porn websites, we are exposed to much of the same soft-core pornographic material through the mediaTV, movies, music, magazines, media sites, etc.

Unfortunately, the majority of my generation is being educated about sex by porn, and the consequences may be much more detrimental than we ever thought possiblewarped views of sex, addiction, sexual dysfunction, broken relationships and families, harm to the brain and emotional well-being, less satisfying sex lives, and sex trafficking, to name only a few.

Growing up, my education about sex came through media, and starting at the age of fifteen, through porn sites. I continued to use porn into my twenties, largely oblivious to the effects it was having on my life. Then, shortly after being married, my wife found out about my porn habit, and sadly, it wasnt because I chose to come clean with her. Seeing the way this affected my wife and our connection made it clear to me that I had an addiction that I needed to break, and so began my journey to freedom from porn.

Through my process on this journey, Take Back Your Life was birthed. My hope is that through this book, anyone struggling with porn will gain significant insight and practical steps that will help them step out of a lifestyle of porn addiction and into a life full of adventure, freedom, and purpose. Each chapter in this book contains vital keys that helped me regain control of my life and move toward freedom. This book isnt just about getting sober. Its about gaining true freedom in all areas of your life, including your sexuality.

As you read through this book you might wonder, Brendon, why are you putting your dirty laundry out in the open for everyone to see?

Am I embarrassed to share my struggle with pornography, and how I carried my brokenness into my marriage and hurt my wife? Sure I am. Its not fun to talk about my own issues, especially when I chose to keep them hidden until they were uncovered in spite of me. But my embarrassment pales in comparison to the excitement and freedom I now feel. My process of earnestly seeking sexual wholeness has been completely life-changing. What started out as trying to overcome pornography turned into two intense years of the most radical personal growth and development Ive ever experienced. After seeing what this journey has added to my life, I will never be ashamed of the moment I said no to porn and yes to healing and wholeness.

This is why I want people to hear about my struggle. I want others to break the power of porn, shame, and hiddenness in their own lives and begin moving forward toward a life of freedom. I want others to experience Gods restoration of everything porn was trying to destroy in their lives. Most of all, I want each person to experience the more God has for them instead of turning to porn, which has no power to satisfy us or bring us love, safety, or any other beneficial thing we need to be healthy and whole in this life. I want to see a movement of people who take back their lives and fight back against porn.

I WANT TO SEE A MOVEMENT OF PEOPLE WHO TAKE BACK THEIR LIVES AND FIGHT BACK AGAINST PORN.

The familiar smell of unwashed jerseys and bleachers filled my nostrils as I entered the gymnasium for my freshman high school basketball practice. As the other guys on the team trickled in behind me, I felt the usual nervousness in anticipation of the difficult workout to come. Every day, our team stretched and warmed up while bantering, trash talking, and joking about the usual topicsclasses, our upcoming games, girls, parties, and above all, sex.
