I had spent 8 years traveling the world filming Ark Hunter, a documentary on my search for Noah’s Ark, when I decided to put it on the shelf and shift my attention to porn.
Yes, porn.
It Was All A Dream
I was at church one Sunday morning when my pastor quoted a study that nearly 70% of Christian men are hooked on porn. I leaned over to my wife and said, “This is serious! We’ve got to do something about this.”

Over the next two years, my wife, Tiana, and I worked tirelessly on creating the Conquer Series – a cinematic small group study that we hoped would help men find freedom from pornography.

As I was filming the Conquer Series, I didn’t think men would watch it. Why would guys join a group in their church to talk about their porn problem?
I was wrong.
Changing The World
Today, the Conquer Series is helping millions of men in over 100 countries find freedom from porn.
Transforming Lives
I recently met one of these men, Bryan, at a conference for Conquer Series Leaders. There was a time when his story was looking bleak. His struggle with porn was about to end his marriage. Bryan explains,
“I tell people that when I was in my addiction, it was like I was drowning in a pool surrounded by my friends and no one even knew. I was helpless and hopeless.”

“But God, in His mercy, let everything come to the surface so we could see how He could work a series of miracles.”
Bryan told me the transformation that they had seen in their marriage,
“I am now over 20 months 100% clean of porn, sexual addiction and lust in general. God rescued and redeemed me in November of 2017 but not until I had utterly destroyed my wife and our life. He miraculously turned me around and she saw what He has genuinely done and then He turned her heart.”

Bryan handed me this card his wife, Celia, had given him as he left for the conference. I took a photo of it while standing in the lobby.
Bryan’s testimony is why my team and I come to work every day. We want to see that transformation throughout the Church! The exciting thing is, that once these men find freedom, they don’t stop there. Bryan now leads 15+ men through the Conquer Series every Thursday evening.

He explains, “Some of these guys are fresh out of prison, some are in different levels of leadership, and both groups are really authentic and transparent. It is amazing!”
Your Turn
If you’re currently in the fight for your relationship, know that God wants to do something amazing in your marriage, like he has done for Bryan and Celia:
“We now live the BEST LIFE we have had in ALL my life and the 19 years we’ve been married. God is SOOO gracious and it’s time I turn this back on the devil in a BIG WAY.”
While I was traveling the world in search of a big wooden boat, God had other plans. He wanted me to go on a quest deep inside the human soul, starting in my very own heart.
“For it is God’s will that you should be sanctified.” – 1 Thessalonians 4:3
