Episode #35: How a Pastor Overcame A Porn Addiction and Other Personal Demons
On today's Get Your S.H.I.F.T Together Men's Podcast by Dr. Myron Edmonds, we go on a raw, personal journey through my life. From my unconventional upbringing as the only biological child in a family of five, with adopted siblings from troubled backgrounds, to battling addictive behaviors, my story is a testament of overcoming adversity. Listen in as I detail the immense pressure I felt to be the 'good kid', which followed me into adulthood, impacting my marriage and leading me down a path of addiction. Navigating my own addiction to pornography and its damaging effects on my relationships, I learned the importance of character and integrity. The importance of identity and self-assessment is underlined as I share how I battled my personal struggles and found peace. Lastly, I delve into the power of systematic change, introducing the concept of the SHIFT framework. Covering spiritual life, health life, integrity, family, and tribe, I explain how to create systems in each of these areas to facilitate lasting positive change. Join me on this intimate exploration of my life and learn how to overcome personal obstacles and live a life of purpose.
