Restoring the Soul with Michael John Cusick
Episode 57 - Dan Allender Part I, “Healing Sexual Brokenness”
- Why every one of us is sexually broken whether or not we have experienced sexual abuse or specific sexual harm.
- The major differences between man and woman, male and female as we are made in God’s image.
- Why women just may be more like God than men—and how this leads to the misogyny and violation of women driving the “#metoo” movement.
- The category of lust as “desire gone mad” and why it’s crucial to understand lust in terms of both relief and revenge.
- Why every man must come to terms with “the first woman in his life” which Dan describes as our mother.
Dr. Dan Allender has pioneered a unique and innovative approach to trauma and abuse therapy over the past 30 years. Central to Dr. Allender’s theory and approach are the categories of Faith, Hope and Love, and their converses betrayal, ambivalence, and powerlessness. Through identifying and engaging these categories in one’s personal narrative, healing and transformation can occur by bridging the story of the gospel and the stories of trauma and abuse that mark so many.
Dan continues to serve as Professor of Counseling Psychology at The Seattle School. He travels and speaks extensively to present his unique perspective on sexual abuse recovery, love and forgiveness, intimacy and marriage, worship, and other related topics. Dan is the author of The Wounded Heart, The Healing Path, To Be Told, and God Loves Sex, and he has co-authored several books with Dr. Tremper Longman, including Intimate Allies, The Cry of the Soul, Bold Love, and Bold Purpose.
Discover how the barrier built by porn addiction can become a bridge to abundant life.
What if lust for porn is really a search for true passion?
In a world where there are 68 million searches for pornography every day and where over 70 percent of Christian men report viewing porn in the last year, it's no surprise that more and more men struggle with an addiction to this false fantasy. Common wisdom says if they just had more willpower or more faith, their fight would be over.
