About This Message

Let’s get real. Sexuality and desire are part of our humanity, yet many of us carry hidden pain, shame, or silent battles—especially in a world (and even church) where it’s easier to pretend than to bring our struggles into the light. But here’s the truth: God isn’t embarrassed by your story, and neither are we. Jesus reminds us that desire itself isn’t the enemy—it’s a gift. The danger begins when lies twist that gift into something that isolates and destroys. Pastor Scotty opens up about his own journey, revealing how Jesus breaks the grip of lust with grace and truth. This isn’t about condemnation. It’s about freedom. No matter where you’ve been, there is hope. Jesus doesn’t just forgive; He heals. He doesn’t just call us out; He calls us beloved. You’re not alone. You’re not stuck. And you don’t have to hide. This is a safe place to heal, to find hope, and to take the next step toward freedom.
