What it is

Fred Stoeker co-wrote Every Man's Battle, and in this Focus on the Family broadcast he tells the story behind it: his own struggle with sexual purity and what faith in Christ changed. His central move is to reframe the motivation — purity as a way of being a hero to your wife rather than as private self-denial, which for many men is the difference between a rule they resent and a thing they want. Free as a digital download. It shares the strengths and the limits of the book: strong on motivation and practical resolve, lighter on the trauma and root-cause work that later resources in this directory take up. A good short listen for a married man at the start, best followed by something that goes underneath the behaviour.
