Summary

Cortney wrestled with shame and a hidden addiction to pornography, trying to live a double life as both a Christian leader and someone bound by sin. She rationalized her behavior for years and feared anyone discovering her secret. Eventually, she reached a breaking point while teaching a lesson on purity to middle-school students. She confessed her secret to her church leaders, found compassion instead of condemnation, and began walking in true repentance. With ongoing accountability and the power of Christ, she overcame her addiction. Free from shame, Cortney now openly shares her journey and points others to the same redemptive power of Jesus.
