Hi, we're David & Piper Post.
We are a Jesus-loving, Thai food eating, Star Trek watching duo! We have 5 fun-loving kids and have been blessed to serve in ministry for the past two decades.

We created Explicit Restoration because we are filled with hope for  other couples (like us!) who have been targeted by the spiritual warfare of pornography. 

Before getting married we shared with each other about bits of our pasts that caused us grief.  We had both been tempted sexually and made choices we regretted. This is when I first learned (Piper here) of David's history of being tempted by pornography. Like most couples we wrongly assumed by choosing marriage all of those temptations would be behind us.
Surely a good healthy regimen of God-honoring sex would be more than enough, right?

Finding Out
It was less than a year into our marriage when I realized David was once again under the alluring and addicting attack of pornography. Well, if I'm being honest I didn't see it as an attack of the Enemy at first. I was just mad, hurt, and full of insecurity. Lots of tears were shed. I often had no one to talk to as I didn't want to "out" him. I lived like that for years until  I came to realize the true nature of his problem. It wasn't really about me, my body, or my sex appeal. His problem originated long before I was in his life. 
That's when I was able to move from being hurt and feeling paralyzed in my marriage to making major steps toward recovery. I was able to begin taking action steps, in Jesus' name.

 If you are still reading, I'm guessing you are wading somewhere deep in the hurt and pain of this discovery about your spouse, or you are the one who is struggling with this awful heart breaking sin, and you want to be free!   
We are so grateful you are here. 
We created Explicit Restoration for you.

30 Years 
THIRTY. YEARS. That's how long David struggled with pornography. That's how long he cycled in and out of the addiction. There were times of success and moments of freedom, but relapse always seemed just around the corner. Then, with the guidance and accountability of a beloved brother in Christ, my husband was able to step into victory. He's now been porn sober for two years.
We praise your name Jesus!

But here's the thing. I didn't wait until David was set free to begin my own process of healing. And you don't have to wait either.
You can recover from your husband's porn addiction, even if he hasn't yet. 
And husbands, there is HOPE. Healing and Recovery IS POSSIBLE! We have been through all that mess. Now we are here on the other side to help you through.
