The believer who is living in sexual immorality is like a child. They need to be led back to the truth with both instruction and guidance. What they need is a spiritual coach.
Attributes of a spiritual coach:
- they know the struggle and have been through it.
- they will point you to Christ and the Word
- they care about your personal life, spiritual life and growth
- they will be brutally honest (Prov 27:6)
- they will challenge you to face your sin head on with determination
- they will help you change your environment (Clean house)
- they will encourage you to confess and repair all aspects of your life
- they will be available when needed
- they will never enable or coddle you
- they will set goals for you
- they will pick you up when you stumble and encourage you
