Ted Shimer built The Freedom Fight after thirty years on staff with the collegiate discipleship ministry Student Mobilization, where pornography had become the largest obstacle to raising godly leaders.^1 Trained as a Pastoral Sex Addiction Professional-Supervisor, he launched the program in 2017 as a ministry of Student Mobilization and has spoken before a U.S. Congressional committee on pornography’s harm.^1
The app walks men and women through a Christ-centered growth model drawn from Paul’s counsel to the Ephesians in sexual sin (Ephesians 4:17-27).^2 It names six roots — a sexualized culture, an addicted brain, isolation, buried emotion, shame, and trauma — and pairs each with a practice: holiness, renewing the mind, authentic accountability, processing emotion with God and others, identity in Christ, and replacing lies with truth.^2
Anyone can start with a free 30-Day Challenge, then continue into the 29-week flagship course.^2 Daily check-ins, accountability partners, small-group messaging, and a built-in community keep the work from becoming a private grind.^2 The ministry reports that 86% of people who finish the program and keep its three core habits find freedom from porn addiction.^2 The same path is on iPhone and Android.^3
