Changing Lanes is a ministry devoted to helping men and teenagers find deliverance from the pernicious effect of sexual addiction. Our mission is to provide Biblically based support and restoration for people struggling with sexual sins.
OUR STORY
In 2007, our founder shared his twenty-two year story of sexual addiction to offer hope. In 2010 we started providing Biblically based behavioral, emotional and spiritual pastoral counseling in small groups for men. A story of hope, has grown to a ministry helping men, teens, parents, families and churches find hope and restoration through the impact of a changed life.
Generation Impact
We work with youth leaders to equip teens in the battle of sexuality
Helping Churches
We partner with churches to reduce the weight of sexual addiction for the staff.
Redefining Technology
We take the despair of the internet and use it for hope in small groups.
Equipping Families
Through panel discussions, training and consultations, we help parents offer freedom to their children.
Building Community
We use our small groups to help build accountability and reengage men into the role of leaders.
Finding Identity
We reevaluate identities and celebrate hope found in an identity in Christ.
“CL takes accountability to another level because the leadership has been down those dark roads and has experienced redemption themselves. So it’s more than accountability; it’s directed ministry that uses the power of the group dynamic, together with understanding leadership, to produce something amazing.”

Eric has been a therapist for twenty years, He has witnessed countless times the devastating impact that addiction takes on one’s life, and on the lives of family members who feel powerless to fight it. In today’s culture, instant connection to the Internet has contributed to a large number of Christian husband and fathers to allow themselves to become trapped in the snare of sexual sin. Eric has known Brett for the past seventeen years, and uses his knowledge as a therapist to help guide the ministry.
BC joined the board in 2014. He has served on many boards of both for-profit and non-profit organizations. He is a serial entrepreneur and has worked in both the banking and legal professions most recently as the Chairman of the Board of Regent Bank. He currently serves as treasurer for Changing Lanes and helps with fund raising. He has seen first hand how Brett and Changing Lanes has provided tools to help hundreds (and counting) of other men in crisis, from the hard core addict to the casual user…and everyone in between.
Christi has spent over 10 years in education, family and social services and has worked for 8 years on staff for church children’s ministry. Her heart for helping families now extends into Changing Lanes, as she serves on the board with her first-hand understanding of how pornography affects spouses and the marriage relationship. Christi is grateful for the opportunity to support Brett and be an example of how a couple can survive a devastating challenge and find a greater joy through God’s grace and redemptive power.
