The Silent Struggle Every Man Faces
Imagine driving down a coastal highway, the sun glinting off the ocean, when suddenly - crash. You've hit a guardrail because your eyes were following a jogger in a bikini instead of the road. This isn't just a hypothetical scenario; it's exactly what happened to Stephen Arterburn before he began his journey toward sexual integrity. In a world saturated with sexual imagery - from billboards to smartphones - men face an unprecedented battle for their minds and marriages. Sexual temptation isn't new, but its accessibility and acceptance have reached epidemic proportions. Most men maintain outward respectability while privately struggling. You might let a woman walk ahead just to check her out. You might schedule your day around opportunities for visual gratification. You continue teaching Sunday school while telling yourself you're fine because you haven't physically cheated. Yet your conscience dims until sexual sin becomes as predictable as clockwork - like checking out that certain coworker at 9:30 every morning or rushing home to secretly watch a neighbor sunbathe. What's most alarming? This battle rages silently in the lives of 80% of men - not just those with serious addictions, but everyday men fighting a "fractional addiction" that slowly erodes their integrity, relationships, and spiritual life.
