ABOUT US
A community focused resource helping men struggling with porn and lust.
Carl Thomas knows what it’s like to feel trapped by crushing shame. He’s a former porn addict who’s been helping others find freedom for over 10 years.
In 2019 he launched Live Free Ministries and created the Live Free Community App to provide a safe and supportive community for men who hunger for real freedom. He also launched Live Free Wives, a free support community for spouses.
Carl is an ordained pastor, published author, certified Neuro Health Coach, and the CEO of XXXchurch.com.
Carl’s passion for helping individuals find freedom, peace, and purpose is only matched by his New Jersey directness, love for family, and devotion to Philadelphia sports teams.
