Covenant Eyes Podcast – Episode 26

Today on the Covenant Eyes I will be playing my interview with Pastor David Blythe of Phoenix First Assembly. David is the author of The Secret in the Pew, a book about his story of slavery to pornography and the freedom he found in Christ.
Today David will talk about
- Some of his story of addiction and how God set him free
- What helpful accountability relationships look like
- Why he recommends accountability software to every man who struggles with looking at Internet pornography.
For more information about David, pick up a copy of his book, or contact him at his church, Phoenix First Assembly, at 602-867-7117 ext.1425.










This is so honest and real. I love the part about developing intimacy with God.
I am priveleged because I have been able to hear Pastor Blythe’s testimony more than once because I attend Phoenix First Assembly. He has prayed for me and I have read his book, Secret in the Pew, more than once. His testimony and book has helped me in my recovery from porn addiction!
Thanks Pastor, I am pastor Charles and this was a struggle for me for many years. My struggle led me to a period of restoration that I fully excepted and work through. My wife was very supportive though hurt she stayed with me through the whole thing. I didn’t have anyone sadly to talk about this with not even the overseer of the church learning that he had issues as well. I love God and God’s people and did not want to mislead anyone so my cry for help can through a angry person who felt they were hurting but the end result was the beginning of new life. My wife is my accountability partner and our marriage has soared to new heights. Thank God I can breath again without this thing choking life out of me. But I thank you for your testimony which encourage me to keep believing and one day at a time.
