Inner Revolution: Overcoming Pornography

If you create a porn dependency from a young age, is it your fault? Let me know your thoughts!

I want to reiterate that I do not personally know this family or this young man. My intentions are not to shine a bad light on the family. What happened here is tragic, and we need to keep them in our prayers. I want to use this as a catalyst in starting a conversation about normalizing talk around pxrn, sxx, and sexuality in general. We talk about the bad without any of the good. That has to stop...

Enough said.

In this episode, I talk about the negative affects that screen time can have on your porn habits. Screens are not going away...neither is porn.

This episode goes out to all those who think they are broken, not enough, or feel shame because of where they are at this point in their lives. Most likely, your addiction started when you were fairly young. When you realized this was a problem, it was too late; you were hooked. In this episode, I aim to help you have more empathy and patience with yourself on this road of recovery.
