Jimmy Rogers — Testimony

Jimmy leads one of the men's groups.

As a young child I felt God's call on my life. Satan soon stepped in. Without proper support from parents or church, I spent the majority of 40 years chasing the wind. I tried many different ways to fill the emptiness in my life. The emptiness was an absence of God.

It was around the age of 5 I was first exposed to porn. I was hooked. I would consume as much as I could get my hands on. Then at age 11 I saw my first adult movie. There my standard was set.

I tried many different ways to fill the empty places in my life — porn, sex, cigarettes, alcohol, fishing, golf, even church. None of it worked. I was rapidly approaching a point in life where I was so miserable I was simply waiting to die. Not that I was suicidal, but there has to be more to life than this — simply grinding out one day to just make it to the next.

I headed back to church. This time was different. What I found was a real relationship with a real God. I also found a group of men who are genuine.

B.O.L.D. is a place where you can be real about God and lustful addictions. Porn addiction is so easy to hide and push down, even deny. This is a safe place to come face to face with your issues. There is hope. There is freedom. If I had not found B.O.L.D. there is no way I would be where I'm at in my walk with God.

"Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord Almighty."

Ephesians 6:10-18 — Armor Up and Battle.
