In this episode, I sit down with Emmanuel and Samridh, two amazing ministry leaders from India, to talk about their personal journeys of overcoming pornography addiction and how they now help pastors and young church leaders find freedom. 

We discuss the unique cultural challenges of shame and secrecy around sexuality in India, and how their Celebrate Freedom seminar, which is based on our Gateway to Freedom intensive for men, is breaking new ground by creating safe, supportive spaces for honest conversation and healing. Emmanuel and Samridh share practical insights, stories of hope, and invite anyone struggling to reach out for support and community.

To connect with Emmanuel and Samridh, visit their YouTube channel @unaddressed.podcast or Instagram @unaddressed.crew.

Topics Covered in this Episode:

  • Personal stories of struggle with pornography addiction among ministry leaders.
  • The cultural challenges of discussing sexuality and pornography in India, including shame and honor dynamics.
  • The lack of practical counseling and support for pastors dealing with sexual sin.
  • The importance of creating safe spaces for open discussions about struggles with pornography.
  • The adaptation of recovery programs to fit the Indian cultural context, including the use of personal stories and relevant examples.
  • The role of community and accountability in the recovery process.
  • The impact of societal expectations on pastors' willingness to admit struggles.
  • The need for ongoing support and follow-up after initial recovery programs.
  • The significance of addressing both male and female perspectives in discussions about pornography and sexual exploitation.
