Breaking the Cycle of Sin

July 23, 2013
Sex is a great gift from God. Satan, however, delights in distorting and corrupting that gift.  Christian counselor David White talks with Dennis Rainey about the ministry of Harvest USA and the work they do helping men and women overcome sexual brokenness. White takes a look back at his own past where he found deliverance from a drinking problem when he was in his 20’s, and reminds listeners that we’re all in need of Christ’s healing work.
