In today’s digital age, many young men face challenges related to sexual self-mastery, particularly in overcoming pornography addiction.
The Sons of Helaman program offers a faith-based approach to help these individuals reclaim control over their lives, emphasizing spiritual strength and personal growth.
Understanding the Sons of Helaman Program
The Sons of Helaman program is a gospel-oriented training initiative designed for young men aged 13 to 24 who are committed to overcoming unwanted pornography habits and related issues.
Participants engage in group sessions led or supervised by licensed professional therapists, where they acquire tools and strategies necessary to win their self-mastery battles. The program uniquely combines modern scientific knowledge with principles taught in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Training Warriors to Fight the Real Enemy
Maurice Harker, Director of Sons of Helaman, emphasizes the importance of sexual self-mastery in today’s culture:
“Sexual self-mastery is one of the most central issues in our culture. We are watching too many of our loved ones being attacked on a regular basis, and unless they are well trained, we could lose them. We can fight! We know how to fight! We know how to win this war! We are the Sons of Helaman. We train young men to fight their adversary and WIN.”
The program equips young men with drills and strategies to combat daily mental battles. They learn to identify the adversary, manage mood battles, and understand their position on the chemical scale. By calling upon the power of God and gaining familiarity with the scriptures, participants apply these teachings to real-life situations.
Discovering and Utilizing Spiritual Gifts
Beyond overcoming unwanted behaviors, Sons of Helaman focuses on helping young men align their energy with God, discover their spiritual gifts, and use those gifts to bless others. This holistic approach ensures participants not only leave behind detrimental habits but also fulfill their potential as noble and great individuals.
Program Structure: Accessibility and Effectiveness
Sons of Helaman offers both in-person and online training groups, allowing young men to participate regardless of their location. In weekly group training sessions, participants learn effective drills and techniques to change unwanted behaviors. The group setting fosters camaraderie, accountability, and a shared sense of purpose, making it a powerful environment for personal growth.
Testimonials: Transformative Experiences
Graduates of the program often share profound insights into their journeys:
“I learned two things: this was hurting people I love, and what I am fighting for.”
“I experienced a training program instead of a therapeutic group. I learned how to fight and win.”
