Christian guys make up the majority of my audience and Christians have some compelling reasons to want to eliminate porn from their lives. It’s in direct conflict with the teachings of Jesus. In Jesus’ most famous sermon he said, “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” Jesus equates this act of looking at a women with lustful intent as being the same as breaking the 7th commandment, “You shall not commit adultery.” But knowing what’s right and doing something about are two different things. Christian guys bring some strengths to our porn free community and also some blind spots. I cover them both here and have some advice for taking action. This episode continues the conversation about spirituality and porn addiction. Listen to Episode 33: Hope for the Porn Addicted Agnostic to hear part 1.

When I started this podcast I wasn’t sure who would join this community and go on this ride for me. I had been mostly doing this stuff with in my church and was used to working with Christian guys. But a good number of downloads came from guys who considered themselves non-religious. Now the reasons for wanting to quit porn for these guys were totally similar to the church guys. They felt out of control, the porn was impacting their relationships either with girlfriends or wives. It was causing ED issues in the bedroom. Or it was impacting their ability to date and build relationships with women. Now I noticed some positives these guys brought to the community. I also noticed some blind spots. No mater what word you use; Agnostic, Atheist, Skeptic, Free Thinker, etc., there is hope for you to quit porn. Update: Here is the sermon I reference is this episode. A Promise of Hope – Timothy Keller  (July 28, 2014)   Resources: For the past 13 years since I have been working on my recovery, I have been asked the same question countless times. “Can you recommend an Internet filter?” Read the answer here —> Best Internet Filter: Covenant Eyes Transcript: Transcript for this episode will be available soon.
