# Bryan & Amber

> *"Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts."*
> — James 4:8

We are **Amber and Bryan Stewart**. We have three beautiful daughters — Alexis, Farrah, and Hannah. We have one energized son, Levi, and one even more energized grandson, Aiden.

Pornography addiction almost took our family out — through selfishness, pride, sexual immorality, and infidelity.

It was only after I (Bryan) was caught in my **second** affair that I realized how deep-rooted the pornography addiction really was. I was on the verge of destroying my entire family because of my addiction. The addiction kept me in such bondage with shame and guilt. It made me see people as objects instead of God's beautiful creation.

## Amber put on the full armor

My wife put her FULL armor of God on, raised the mighty sword of the spirit up against the enemy, and started swinging.

She started loving me in the spirit and not just in the flesh. In the flesh she did not like me very much, but she made the **CHOICE** to see me and love me the way God loves me.

Because of Amber's committed and faithful prayers, and her reaching out to others for prayer, I started to feel love from God. Because of that love, I started to seek God more and more. The more I started seeking, the more I started changing.

## Surrender all

I realized that nothing can separate us from the love of God — but I had to make the **CHOICE** to love Him with everything. I had to surrender ALL.

I could not say *"Lord, you can have my whole heart, but this one little section of lust that I want to control."* No. I had to give God everything.

## Restored

![A lion looking up — bold as lions](/images/story/bold-lion-looking-up.jpg)

With obedience and discipline, Amber and I are now a renewed, refreshed, and restored couple, with a restored family. Our whole family now seeks the comfort and joy that only the Father can provide.

We want to encourage other broken families how to do the same.
