Q&A: What Do I Do When Sexual Sin Gets the Better of Me?

Dear Juli, My journey with fighting sexual temptation has been long and exhausting. I'm at a point where I know I'm not perfect. I'm going to fail sometimes. So how do I respond after I masturbate? Or watch porn? Or commit some other sexual act that I didn't want to? No matter your sexual struggle, we are all on a stumbling journey toward sexual integrity. In this video, Juli offers biblical insight to help you embrace God’s forgiveness, and shares practical things you can do to understand what's happening in your mind in those moments before temptation becomes overwhelming.
