How Porn Kills Relationships (with Jonathan Pokluda)


Listen Later

Have you ever wondered how porn impacts relationships?

Porn has become a widespread epidemic in our culture today. And it’s reaping havoc on relationships. It messes with your heart, alters your brain brain, and changes how you see the world around you. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

Today, I can’t even tell you how thrilled I am to have Jonathan Pokluda join me to discuss his personal journey: from PORN ADDICT to PASTOR….from being enslaved to a sex and porn addiction, to walking in freedom.

Today’s episode is a deep-dive into pornography use, sexual addictions, and why there’s so much hope for gaining freedom in this area of your life. Porn impacts relationships in a remarkable way, but it doesn’t have to be this way.

Porn Impacts Relationships

In today’s episode, we’ll cover:

  • The details of JP’s story, how deeply immersed he was in porn, and why becoming a Christian didn’t fix his addiction.
  • How porn impacts relationships.
  • What porn does to your brain and how you view others.
  • Why you’ve probably tried and failed to break free.
  • Steps to breaking free from porn for good.
  • And so much more!
