YSA Gather

I have loved Ben Hemming for 25 years now! We met when we were both hired to teach seminary. I’m excited to teach this class with him. I was recently released as a YSA bishop (not for bad behavior, I don’t think… my time was up). As I served I became deeply passionate about helping people overcome pornography. In the beginning, I saw no success as I counseled with people. Then I learned the principles we will discuss in this class and saw a dramatic shift. People who had previously found no success started overcoming their habit! I absolutely loved witnessing the transformation. I saw people overcome shame, practice self-compassion, and feel the presence of Christ increase in their lives. I can’t wait to be with you and Ben and share how we can overcome pornography through Christ!

Tucker Boyle

It has been a privilege to teach the gospel over the last 25 years across the Utah Valley, Moscow Idaho, and now with you in the Salt Lake Valley! My education consists of a Masters in Social Work, and PhD in Ed Leadership with an emphasis in psychology. I have worked as a Licensed Therapist for the last 20 years assisting individuals with a variety of mental health challenges and addictions including overcoming pornography. I am confident that with Jesus Christ and the appropriate skills pornography can be overcome forever. By the way, I love working with Tucker Boyle!

I Love Connection!

Connection to others is one important way to connect to Jesus Christ. Pornography can make you feel very isolated. Feeling that connection to others helped me feel the Spirit guide me to encourage others and overcome shame!

Learning NET

NET was great! Noticing, embodying, then taking that step to values has been a great simplified way to doing it and combating buffering which I need to do more! This skill has been very beneficial!

Learning from Others

Understanding and facing those negative emotions can feel so strong! Having the examples of people who have faced it, even if I don’t really know the extent of the experiences, just being there helps and feels more real and down to earth.

A Bishop's Perspective

I've been going through each class after the fact while at the gym. I've really enjoyed the classes and the tools and content that Tucker and Ben have provided! I make sure and let my ward know about these!

Self Compassion

Allowing more compassion for myself, learning principles and understanding that Jesus did face wanting to turn away but He didn't gives me the strength and courage to overcome.

So Helpful!

Hearing others through sharing stories and receiving/giving encouragement made a Huge difference. I grew to love the class, the teachers and most importantly The Savior. Equally important, I learned to love myself.

Processing Urges Through Jesus Christ

I loved learning that through Jesus Christ I can learn to sit with urges and emotions and process them without giving in to look at pornography. Jesus Christ strengthens me!

This Workshop Is Great For You If…

You want to quit, even quit in the past, but started again.
You worry that pornography will follow you for the rest of your life.
You have thoughts like, “I’m not good enough, strong enough, committed enough to beat this”
You feel like your actions don’t align with your values.
It’s that one thing you can’t seem to get rid of.
You don’t go after opportunities, date, attend the temple, etc. because you don’t think you deserve it or feel unworthy.
