Why Aren’t We Talking About Porn in the Church? (EP. 236)

Men of Iron Podcast

Support our mission to change a culture, one man at a time – https://menofiron.org/donate Justin and Tony are back on the pod for Week 3 as we continue our series on Lust, Sexual Addiction and Pornography. Today we are talking about Pastors and Porn and how pornography greatly affects Christian leaders and the Church. Statistics say that 50-57% of pastors admit they struggle with pornography. So why are we not having conversations about sexual addiction in the church? One, it is a "taboo" topic and an uncomfortable and messy topic. Pastors and churches are afraid to admit it and talk about it that it is an issue. For pastors specifically, it is a struggle that IF they admit it could jeopardize everything. Another issue is some churches are afraid if they talk about the uncomfortable issues, people will stop showing up. To the pastors, church leaders and men listening to this, the Church is a place for the broken. We can't build towards what God has for us if we are pretending and faking. There is freedom in being vulnerable and being transparent! James 5:16 says, "Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective." James 5:16 (NIV). The power of not being real is keeping us from all that God has for us. It's time to confess, get accountability and work towards freedom. You cannot overcome sexual addiction on your own.
