“Porn reduces real women—sisters, daughters, and mothers—to flesh for consumption and pixels for pleasure. It's a betrayal of their humanity and the God who created them.”

THE FOUR PERILS OF PORN

Martital Damage

Pornography erodes trust, intimacy, and emotional connection in marriage, replacing real relationships with shallow fantasies. It often leads to betrayal, secrecy, and broken commitments that devastate both partners.

Loss of Control

Porn rewires the brain, creating a dependency that feels impossible to break, leaving men trapped in a cycle of compulsive behavior. This addiction compromises their ability to focus, make decisions, and maintain self-control in other areas of life.

Spiritual Apathy

Porn creates a cycle of guilt and shame that distances men from God, numbing their passion for spiritual growth and service. Over time, it dulls the heart and disrupts their connection with their faith.

Self Sabotaging

Regular porn use undermines self-esteem, clarity, and purpose, causing men to settle for less than their potential. It fuels feelings of inadequacy and failure, making it harder to achieve personal and professional goals.
