Discussion Questions:
Understanding the Problem: Sam Black mentioned that only 7% of churches are actively addressing the issue of pornography. Why do you think this percentage is so low, and what can churches do to increase their involvement?
Primary Goal in Restoration: According to Sam, the primary goal is to draw a person closer to Christ. How does this goal outweigh the temptation to merely deal with the symptoms of pornography addiction?
Practical Steps: Sam Black discussed the importance of a real discipleship process for healing. What practical steps can a church take to implement such a process effectively?
Communication in Marriage: How should a married couple approach a situation where one partner is struggling with pornography? What are the potential challenges and solutions in this scenario?
Role of Abstinence: Sam mentioned a period of abstinence from both masturbation and sex as a way to reset intimacy. How do you think this might affect a marriage in the short and long terms?
Accountability: Sam emphasized that a spouse should not be the primary accountability partner. What are the reasons behind this, and how can men find suitable accountability partners?
Community and Support: What steps can men take to create and nurture strong, Christ-centered friendships that offer mutual support and accountability?
Vulnerability and Strength: Sam argues that true strength comes from being fully known and fully loved. How can men overcome the fear of vulnerability in their relationships with other men?
Impact of Pornography on Marriage: How does pornography use negatively impact the intimacy and sexual relationship within a marriage?
Church’s Role in Healing: What specific roles should church leaders and congregations play in addressing and healing the issue of pornography within their community?
