Before the battle can be won, it must be honestly named. This week, allow yourself to sit with the authors' opening confession and ask whether you recognize your own story in theirs.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Arterburn opens the book with a frank admission of his own sexual sin and its consequences. What was your emotional reaction when you read his story — relief, discomfort, judgment, recognition? What does that reaction tell you about your own relationship with this topic?
2.The authors argue that sexual impurity is not a problem limited to a few weak or broken men — it is described as 'every man's battle.' Do you agree or disagree with that framing?
a.What cultural messages have you absorbed that say otherwise — that this is only a problem for certain types of men?
b.How does calling it a universal battle change the way you feel about your own struggle?
3.The book immediately establishes that God's standard is complete sexual purity — not merely avoiding adultery, but guarding the eyes and mind. How does Jesus' statement in Matthew 5:28 (that looking at a woman with lust is adultery of the heart) sit with you? Does it feel like an impossible standard or a liberating one?
