Today we are speaking with Mark Brouwer. Mark is a teacher and leader of men’s workshops for the ministry of Faithful and True. Mark is also the director of Recovery Remixed, offering teaching, consulting, leadership training, teleseminars, and other resources for churches, church leaders, and men dealing with sexual struggles.

Today Mark shares with us out of Jesus’ famous Sermon on the Mount, specifically helping us understand Jesus’ words about lust. Mark gives us three principles that help us to understand the difference between looking and lusting. Mark also shares with us timeless principles he has learned from Scripture and his work in the field of sexual addiction.
