Encouraged and Built Up
A Carmel teen shared this reflection on the impact his dad's Journey Men's Group has had on both their lives...
I'm glad my dad is part of a men's group. While I don't go with him each week, I know I can, even as a teenager. The group, it turns out, wasn't just for my dad...it was for me, too.
You see, a few months ago my parents found out I had been looking at porn. To be honest, neither of them knew exactly how to react. I think my parents were very hurt and I'm sure mad. I was ashamed and clueless what to do next. I was wondering if I would ever be trusted or looked at the same, especially by my mom.
