Episode 77 - The Journey from Sexual Brokenness to Healing with Jay Stringer
Today our show takes us to Seattle to talk to Jay Stringer, the author of Unwanted: How Sexual Brokenness Reveals Our Way to Healing. His book is based on a multi-year research project into the stories of 3,800 men and women to address the key drivers of unwanted sexual behavior, why people remain in a place of shame, and the journey towards a new sexual story. It was recently recognized by Outreach Magazine as one of the top resources of the year. Tragically, this is a huge issue destroying too many Faith Driven Entrepreneurs. His research is one of the most comprehensive studies on the subject, and we’re delighted he could join us on the podcast. Join Henry and William to glean from some of Jay’s experiences and hear the lessons he has for faith driven entrepreneurs...

Show Notes
Last year, on a single porn site alone, people watched 4.6 billion hours worth of pornographic videos. That’s around 5,000 centuries worth of time.
Clearly, sexual Brokenness is a problem. But that’s not new. What is new is how Jay Stringer, author of Unwanted: How Sexual Brokenness Reveals Our Way to Healing, is helping us understand this subject. Instead of looking for new techniques of “lust management,” Jay is working to encourage people to address their sexual brokenness and the core issues surrounding it.
Jay has found that facing what is difficult in our own lives helps us move down the path of healing. And if you’re an entrepreneur who wants to better handle difficulties in your professional life, you have to deal with the difficulties in your personal life. Even if sexual brokenness doesn’t sound like a primary struggle for you, the statistics Jay shares will make it clear that if you have more than one employee, odds are you know someone who is dealing with this issue. And that’s why we wanted to talk about this.
We hope this conversation helps you open the door to address the things you’re struggling with, and also to have conversations with those around you. We are firm believers that, as Jay says, “When God sees us, He moves in toward human brokenness, He doesn’t remove Himself from it.”
We want to be people who do the same. Thanks for listening and for being on this journey with us.
