Are you serious about being a man of purity?

Are you serious about expressing and experiencing your sexual gift in a way that’s consistent with what God says about sexuality?

Are you serious about really working on this area of your life?

If you are, these things are not going to happen on accident.

It’s only going to happen if you can identify some strategic issues that will truly make a difference in your relationship with yourself, and then do the work that’s necessary to apply those things to your life and situation.

In this episode Tony shares 4 important skills of purity that will be very strategic for the average guy to practice as he seeks to experience his sexual gift in a healthier way.

(1) Self-awareness

You need to be in touch with yourself.

You need to be award of what’s going on with yourself emotionally so you’re aware of those moments when you might be getting more vulnerable to temptation and acting out.

If you don’t know what’s going on with you it sets you up for repeated failure.

(2) Interrupting yourself

When you feel yourself beginning to escalate in the old cycle of failure, you absolutely need to be able to interrupt yourself in order to break free of that old cycle and create the possibility of choosing something different and healthier.

(3) Choosing a healtheir alternative

If you can catch yourself as the old cycle begins to unfold, it creates the possibility for you to exercise your “no” muscle, and for you to make a healthier choice, such as calling a friend, going to the gym to work out, mowing the grass, listening to some music, or writing a psalm to the Lord to tell him how your feeling at that moment and what you’re struggling with.

(4) Practice

We must then choose to practice this new and healthier cycle over and over again. Practice being aware of myself, interrupting myself, and choosing something healthier, and as we practice these 4 important skills of purity we will help you to stay on track!
