Christian Counseling – Treating the Disease rather than the Symptoms
Joshua Spaulding Christian leaders dedicate their lives to the advancement of the gospel. The gospel is the power of God for salvation (Romans 1:16).

Hope & Healing for Compulsive Sexual Behavior
Sex is one of God’s greatest gifts to deepen relationships of couples, but like every good gift, “the enemy of our souls” distorts it and uses it to steal true intimacy, kill integrity, and destroy the beauty of God’s gift.

In this workbook, the insightful and compassionate team at Faithful & True invite you to join them. They’ve taken the journey of hope and healing, and you can too.
