Freedom Support Groups
Restoring Hearts Counseling offers men’s groups at different times throughout the
week. The small groups average 6-8 men that meet for 90 minutes. They are led by
two trained group facilitators. Men range in age between 18-86.
The purpose of the groups is in part to help men find freedom from the bondage of lust and pornography. More importantly, it is to help men understand God’s purpose for sex, marriage, and the family.
The groups are dedicated to helping participants become Kingdom men—men
who are grounded in their spiritual identity and mission.
