Episode 227: Recovering Our Souls From P*rn Addiction | Sam Jolman


Listen Later

A new Barna study says 54% of Christians watch p*rnography. This number is only 7 percentage points behind the percent of all U.S. adults who consume it (61%).

We need help. How can we get the help we need for our addictions at a soul-deep level? Author and therapist Sam Jolman is here to assist.

Together, we discuss:

  • —Is male sexuality just extra broken or what? 
  • —How can we (as men and women) process our first encounter with p*rnography?
  • —How can we as parents help ready our kids for a porn-pervasive world?
  • —What can we do if we are caught in an addiction cycle? Is there anything to do other than accountability programs?
  • | Highlights | 

    • “Evil hates your sexuality. Evil hates the sexuality of your children. It does not want you to be alive and well in your sexuality; nor does it want that for your children, because our sexuality mirrors so much of our hearts as lovers and worshippers of God.” —Sam Jolman
  • “Most men’s story of being introduced to pornography is a story of harm.” —Sam Jolman
  • “[Pornography introduction to kids is a story of harm because…] you have no capacity to know what is coming… You have no capacity to consent. You’re a kid! Even if you ‘knew’ what it was, you really have no idea what this pornography world is. When somebody introduces it to you, often there is an invitation—sometimes out of that person’s arousal or desire to sexualize you… But to suddenly have such material, and to have your body awakened to something but without a category for what you are experiencing—that is a violation.” —Sam Jolman
  • “Even in our worst sin we cannot eradicate the glory of God in us.” —Sam Jolman
