Lust kills love. And there is no virtue more important, for it emulates both god and the immaterial world, the angels which he created, which are holy, than the virtue of chastity and sexual purity.
How do you combat the pervasive grip of lust and temptation in today's world? In this episode of 'Healing Addictions', Fr. Christophe Lepoutre takes a deep dive into the struggles of sexual addiction, particularly focusing on masturbation. He offers a blend of spiritual wisdom from the Holy Orthodox Church and practical recovery strategies to tackle these issues head-on. Lust, often described as an addiction to the forbidden, can destroy genuine love and intimacy. Fr.
Christophe emphasizes that embracing chastity and sexual purity can bring one closer to God and a more fulfilling spiritual life. Drawing from the teachings of the Fathers and Mothers of the Orthodox Church, he highlights the importance of Holy Confession as a tool for committing to holiness in our thoughts, words, and actions.
He also introduces the concept of joining the Fellowship in the In-Exhaustible Cup, a supportive community under the spiritual care of the Mother of God, as a powerful defense against temptations. If you're seeking a path to spiritual purity and practical advice on overcoming sexual addiction, this episode offers a compassionate and comprehensive guide.
