Human trafficking, addiction, and one of the largest moneymakers in the world all in one: pornography. We've all heard about it, yet refuse to talk about it because it isn't exactly a dinner conversation. But is it really that big of a deal?

On today’s podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through the impact of pornography on our culture as well as the church. We take a look at why engaging with pornographic material is a sin on many different levels and why we should do everything we can to avoid it. More than that, we give practical steps to help those currently in bondage to pornography with hopes that our listeners may repent of this sin and seek help.

The 17:17 podcast is a ministry of Roseville Baptist Church (MN) that seeks to tackle cultural issues and societal questions from a biblical worldview so that listeners discover what the Bible has to say about the key issues they face on a daily basis. The 17:17 podcast seeks to teach the truth of God's Word in a way that is glorifying to God and easy to understand with the hope of furthering God's kingdom in Spirit and in Truth.
