Deep dives
The Birth of Unashamed and Afraid
The initiative Unashamed and Afraid was launched to address the stigma surrounding sexual addiction recovery. The founder realized early in his recovery journey that many people were speaking about their experiences anonymously, which limited genuine connection and transparency. Inspired by others' recovery stories, he sought to create a platform where individuals could openly share their journeys and find hope, particularly tailored for men grappling with sexual addiction. The podcast aims to empower individuals to confront their issues without shame and to encourage a trusting relationship with Christ for healing.
