Kris Bishop is a good man with a good heart.

Although Kris became a Christian when he was a child, and he had a calling on his life to go into the ministry, and he preached his first sermon when he was in eight grade, he struggled deeply with an addiction to pornography for many years.

Kris thought that when he got married his problem with pornography would finally go away, but that didn't happen, and in fact his struggle with porn followed him into his marriage.

His wife, Jamie, caught him acting out many different times over the years, and each time her heart was deeply broken.  Over the years that followed she became more and more discouraged at Kris's inability to change.  Jamie struggled deeply with thoughts  and feelings that something must be wrong with her because of her husband's problem with porn.  The marriage slowly became defined by distance and disconnection, and Jamie eventually became involved in an affair with another man.  When Kris finally learned of this affair, Jamie decided to leave him, and when she left it was the WAKE UP call that finally captured Kris's attention.  He knew he had to change, or his marriage and family would be destroyed forever.

This began the healing journey that Kris & Jamie have now been walking on for over the past 10 years.  Their story is remarkable, and Kris has had an amazing level of success in his walk of purity for over 10 years now.

Listen to this amazing story and be blessed.
