Transparent Ministries & Freedom Begins
Here
Posted on February 18, 2012 | 0 comment(s)
When we started Freedom Begins Here several years
ago, our primary goal was to help men and women
who struggled with pornography. After thousands
of conversations about this subject, we
discovered a much larger issue facing the
Christians today. The issue of pornography is
just one of many things holding us back from true
intimacy with Jesus. We all have struggles--some
are just easier to confess and talk about than
others. So we began thinking about how to tackle
this much larger issue of Christ followers not
revealing who they really are.
In late 2010, we created a non-profit called
Transparent Ministries. "We" is a group of
people, some from Freedom Begins Here and some
not, who are passionate about tackling difficult
issues and seeing people live authentic
lives.
Since porn is one of the most difficult issues
facing the Church, Transparent Ministries decided
to purchase Freedom Begins Here in October 2011.
This gave us the ability to immediately begin
supporting people with resources to address the
issue of pornography.
One of our main goals is to provide resources
that teach churches how to create safe places
where people can find help without fear of
condemnation.
In short, we want people to be real--real with
themselves and real with others.
Vision:
Transparent Ministries wants help people live in
total transparency with each other, become free
from their most hurtful issues, and deepen their
walk with Christ so they can impact the world
around them.
Mission:
Our Mission is to provide resources, video
content and presentations that help people
address real issues that bring about true
intimacy with Christ.
Goal:
Transparent Ministries’ goal is to provoke
discussion to address issues that the church is
not talking about. We want to bring resources
together for individuals, pastors, church leaders
and counselors.
