Join us as James and Chris sit down with Jarrett as he openly shares about his early exposure to and struggle with pornography. Jarrett first realized the extent of God’s love for him, when he first opened up about his struggle while serving a mission for his church.
In this episode Jarrett reminds us that unless we deal with our trauma we will pass it onto the next generation. Jarrett’s dad was willing to share with him about his own struggles and what he learned while attending the Warrior Heart bootcamp. This inspired Jarrett to reflect on his own life and motivated him to change.
While working with a therapist, Jarrett was introduced to a support group with other guys his age who also struggled with pornography. This was the first time Jarrett realized that he wasn’t the only one his age who struggled with pornography. This helped give Jarrett the courage to be honest about his struggle.
Earlier this year, Jarrett attended the Warrior Heart bootcamp with his dad. While there, he gained a deeper understanding of God’s love for him and his relationship with God began to change. As this relationship changed, Jarrett’s life changed.
Jarrett has taken many opportunities to share his story with others. As he has been vulnerable, others have opened up to him, shared their similar struggles and he has discovered how quickly he is able to connect with them. Brene Brown has said “vulnerability begets vulnerability, courage is contagious.” Jarrett is living proof of this truth.
