Hi, I’m Derrick, the founder of Sound Mind Coaching. This journey began with a scripture that both challenged and haunted me for years:

“No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.” —1 Corinthians 10:13

For 20 years, I struggled with a pornography habit, constantly questioning: If this is common, why do I feel so alone? If God won’t let me be tempted beyond what I can bear, why am I still stuck? And where is my way out?

It wasn’t until I began applying practical actions—like reframing my thoughts and building emotional endurance—that I finally saw real progress. I realized that breaking free takes more than desire; it takes intentional effort and the right tools.

Too often, people are sold expensive programs or quick fixes that focus on surface-level solutions and fail to address the root issue. For many, these options not only fall short but also create a financial barrier that prevents access to real help. My philosophy is simple: If pornography is free to access, then the way out should be free as well. Freedom shouldn’t come with a price tag—it should be accessible to everyone.
