#167: Healing from Addiction; The larger Story, "A Theology of the Body" 

Today, Pornhub, one of the leading porn websites--and there are thousands--will have 100 million visitors viewing hardcore pornography.  Millions of those viewers will be between the ages of twelve and seventeen. Pornography addiction is an epidemic in America and we are “approaching 100% exposure to pornography for males between ten and twenty-nine years of age.”

Yet is not enough to just say no to pornography. Young people, really all of us, need to know the ‘why’ behind the rules. I have met young men and women over the years who show incredible courage and a willingness to fight the war raging on the battlefield of their heart once they know the why behind the battle. I cannot overstate how important it is for today’s men and women, struggling with purity while being bombarded by images of women’s bodies used to sell products, to find that the solution lies NOT in pushing down or ignoring their passions and desires, but by redirecting their passions and desires to the beauty of authentic love. 

I have worked with porn addicts. It is a beautiful thing to see these men years later, including some who had gotten married, no longer addicted to porn, but as men who have fully embraced the culture of life. They picked up the sword and with grace, are winning the battle to “see” all the women in their lives not as objects to be used, but as beautiful hearts that desire and deserve to be loved! This includes the women, our sisters in Christ, who are being used as objects in the pornography industry.
