PORN! – Now that I have your attention…Hi, My name is Bryan Petkau and for the first few decades of my life I was pretty lost…no faith, no guidance, and struggling with more than one addiction. But of course, God does what He wants when He wants to do it.

Like so many Men, I was first exposed to pornography at a very young age and it grabbed hold of me. Over the next twenty years porn mis-shaped my ideas around sexuality and relationships. It wasn’t until God put some very impactful people in my life who knew how to guide me that I was able to finally break free.

During this time I was dating a wonderful woman named Krista (now my Wife for 16 years, Pray for her) – she was someone I wanted to spend the rest of my life with, but my struggle with pornography interfered in so many ways. After dating for a long time I finally proposed and she accepted! Krista ‘used to be’ Catholic so when I said “we should get Married in a Church because that is what people do right?” she suggested the Catholic Church and the rest is history. It was her acceptance of my proposal that led me to the Church after a life of never exploring this part of my heart. It was in this journey I realized there was a gaping hole in my life because God was missing.

There is too much to write here, but God worked in me – helping me finally find freedom from pornography and then calling me to help other men in this war. I completely changed the direction of my life and spent the next 9 years in University (Master’s degree in Psychology) with ONE MISSION – to help other Men break free. Over the last 5 years I have had the honour of working with hundreds of Men and have developed a battle-tested system. I now offer a Coaching program specifically for Married Christian Men, am currently developing a program for single Men, and am adding a specialist to my team who will work with Women who struggle with pornography and Wives who are hurting.

I hope my story can be inspiring for those who feel hopeless when it comes to this Battle. Freedom is possible! God is good!
