Day 2: BRACE – A Tool to Renew Your Mind

Introduction:

Because of the addicted brain, breaking free from porn addiction requires more than just willpower.

During the tempting moment, we need a spiritual practice that doesn't just suppress feelings or desires but actively retrains our brain to choose something better.

That’s where the BRACE tool comes in. BRACE is designed to help you renew your mind, as Romans 12:2 encourages. BRACE helps you build a new neurological pathway that leads to lasting transformation.

Instead of repressing temptation, BRACE equips you to replace old habits that lead to sin with new steps on a healthier path leading to God-honoring choices. This tool is grounded in both brain science and biblical principles, making it a powerful ally in your journey to freedom.
