80. Scott Cone – Unwanted Sexual Drivers

Welcome to Episode #80 of the Red Ink Revival Leadership Podcast. Today’s conversation is with Scott Cone, the founder of Sexcessful Men, a recovery coaching practice that helps Christian men who struggle with pornography, childhood sexual abuse, unwanted same-sex attraction, and other compulsive sexual behaviors.

Today we talk about unwanted sexual drivers. Our conversation takes us into the following:

• Scott’s faith story and how he became a recovery coach.

• Attachment styles as a foundation for sexual, financial, and “vision” forces.

• What trauma is and how it impacts us emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually.

• How the arousal template is a battery of energy that drives our sexual preferences.

• The commonalities between our sexual forces and our ambitions, money management habits, and more.

• The Scriptural basis for these sexual energy pockets that originated in broken-heartedness.

• How moments of distress in our present ignite unmanageable arousal from our traumatic past.

• The similarities between our past traumas and our present searches for meeting our sexual needs (fetishes, scenarios, etc.).

• How every “trigger tells a story” is worthy of being explored, rather than just repressed.

• The power of fantasy exploration and understanding what fantasy is attempting to serve.

• How pastors & leaders can lead themselves, their families, and their congregations better by exploring their own stories of sexual brokenness.
