Hatfield & Nickell go in-depth on the 'Guard Your Marriage' session with Jason & Shelley Martinkus from our Guarded Men's Conference.
Link to a video from this session:
Guard Your Marriage with Jason & Shelley Martinkus
1. When is the last time you had a real, honest talk about sex
with another brother in Christ? How did it go? What did you not say
that you should have been honest about?
2. Read Proverbs 7. What are some of the words, phrases, or images
from this text that stood out to you? What resonated with you?
3. After watching Jason and Shelley Martinkus’ session at Men's
Conference, what helped you find clarity on your battle against
temptation and for sexual purity?
4. What direction were you given while you were growing up
surrounding sexual temptation and how to find freedom over it? What
was your first exposure to porn and how old were you?
5. If your wife asked you, “Is there anything I need to know?”
would the question haunt you or give you hope? Why? What would you
want to tell her in a moment of transparency?
6. Jason admitted that he allowed fear to bully him and keep him
from being honest. How has fear bullied you in the past? How does
it sometimes hold you captive now?
7. Having regular questions asked of you regarding the purity of
your eyes, mind, and heart is essential. What sort of plan do you
have in place now? If you don't have one, who is someone you can
trust to ask you those hard questions?
