Worthy Journey | David and Amy Wedel
USA
Hi, we are David and Amy, and we mentor men to build and maintain a life of freedom from sexual sin, and help their wives find healing from the resulting betrayal trauma.
We are bible believing, born again believers in Jesus Christ who have been married since May of 1999 and have 6 kids. We have a bible school / missionary education, and David also has a degree from trade school in Germany.
DAVID’S STORY
Ever since I was a teenager, I struggled with viewing pornography and masturbation. I kept my struggle hidden from my wife Amy and most everyone else.
I believed that just me and God together could defeat the cycle of viewing porn, masturbating, remorse, promises to God I would never do it again, and falling again. Well, I was wrong! My shame and the stigma connected to this sin kept me struggling in isolation and before I knew it 18 years of our marriage had gone by and no one, not even Amy, knew the extent of my struggle.
God finally got my heart soft enough and made me desperate enough to confess to Amy how real and how long my struggle had been going on, and to finally come out of the shadows of isolation to seek help.
It was then that I embarked on a WORTHY JOURNEY to freedom from habitual sexual sin. I have now been free from the depressing cycle since the summer of 2017.
The freedom from secrecy and feelings of hypocrisy alone have been worth it, not to mention a deeper relationship with my wife and my Heavenly Father.
We serve Christian men who want lasting freedom from viewing porn, masturbation, and other unwanted sexual behavior.
On the flip side, if this behavior is discovered or disclosed to a wife, she now has to deal with betrayal trauma and needs help to experience healing.
Our vision is to show believers that there is a path to freedom from sexual addiction and to be instruments of healing in an area that is vastly avoided in the Christian church.
If we have helped men live in freedom, serving the Lord without the ball and chain of sexual addiction, and if we have helped wives find healing from the trauma of betrayal, and if we have helped couples heal their marriages, then we can feel that our own personal story and experience will not have gone to waste.
- First, please pray that God would guard and strengthen and protect our own marriage from sexual sin.
- Please pray God would soften men’s hearts to seek help with their sexual addiction.
- Please pray that the betrayed wives would see their need for healing and help.
- Pray that we would continue to pursue a growing and intimate relationship with the Lord and each other.
- Pray that God would break down resistance to asking for help in the hearts of the strugglers.
