For all you anglers and even non anglers, the one undeniable truth is that the lure or bait always has a hook hidden inside of it. Well the Enemy works the same way especially in porn addictions. I’m ashamed to say he’s netted me a couple times in the last few weeks. So I am coming forward to confess my sin, and ask each of you to pray for me that the shiny, pretty, and oh so subtle lures can be better recognized by me and to stay away, and regain my relationship to the Lord which I allowed to grow dim. Thanks Guys!!

Hi! Welcome to Intentional Men. This community helps men get the tools and resources needed to walk in integrity to make an impact on the world. Step 1: Introduce yourself below! (✄ copy/paste template 👇) 1️⃣ Who are you, where are you from and who do you work with? 2️⃣ What do you want to get out of being in this community? 3️⃣ For fun what do you like to do? 4️⃣ Drop a photo of your office space or where you like to do work from. I'll go first... 🙋 1️⃣ My name is Denis Gerasimov, I am a part-time pastor, married to my lovely wife Anna (for 9 years now!), and have 4 amazing kids (Ezra - 7, Kataleya - 5, Aria - 3, Micah - 1). I dabbled in the business world (start-ups) when I graduated from CSUEB with a marketing/finance degree. God called me to seminary/ministry and here I am now. Live in the wonderful Bay Area where my parents immigrated to from the former Soviet Union back in 1991. 2️⃣ What I want out of this community is to be able to serve you. To help men be who God created them to be. Solid men = solid families = solid society. 🤯 I want to make new friends and inspire hope in men who think life without p*rn is not possible so that they can impact others. 3️⃣ For fun I enjoy hiking, traveling with the fam, playing guitar, and eating yummy food. Love creating things like this community and helping people. 4️⃣ My office is currently at Wework. 😁 (and at home if I need to watch kids) ✅ Let's gooooo! Comment below!

Hey guys, new training! Satan does to minimize the seriousness of sin - “made it this far - you earned it” → reward | p*rn is descructive (eve & the fruit), God put you here to serve not to be served / selfish  - “we were created to enjoy life - satisfaction” | yes, but in certain and in God’s design of things  - “created with a sex drive so this is fine - to masturbate/ watch porn” | energy God gives is to use to serve / create  - “it doesn’t affect others” / it doesn’t hurt anybody / nobody will see me | affects everybody - Christianity is not island living  - relieves stress | God only can be the solution, he is your true help. Solid rock.  - going to be enjoyable | “in his presence is fullness of joy”  - it’s just images not real people | real people - who are sex trafficked, are abused, manipulated, preyed upon  - the women I watch get paid for this and they enjoy it  - most guys watch it | God calls it a sin - not majority rule.  - i need a sexual release | energy God gives is to use to serve / create  - it’s not a big deal “it’s not like i’m having sex” | God created things in a certain way to work 🚀 Comment below which one you resonate with most.
