Ted Shimer is a 30-year veteran of a national collegiate discipleship ministry. He has seen firsthand the impact of porn use on generations of young adults. In 2004, he started seeing an increase in the number of men addicted to porn, and the national ministry identified porn as the biggest obstacle to building godly leaders for Christ. This huge hole in the discipleship needed to be addressed. In 2007 the ministry led all the men on staff through a porn addiction recovery program, so they could be better equipped to help men break free. Since 2007, Ted has been through and evaluated over twenty different porn addiction recovery programs and resources. He utilized some of these programs with different staff and students. During this time he also was trained as a Pastoral Sex Addiction Professional-Supervisor to include the best clinical training in his discipleship and programs. Through this process, Ted identified and refined the key principles of an effective recovery program, which formed the foundation of the Freedom Fight launched in 2017. The Freedom Fight is a ministry of Student Mobilization.
