#451 Porn Addiction and Women: Break the Silence, Bring the Hope

Authentic Intimacy®

Feb 6, 2023

When it comes to porn, the gender gap is closing. Women (Christian women too) are turning to porn—and feeling ashamed, alone, and trapped in their addiction. Today you'll meet two women who know that overcoming porn or sexual shame is not about changing your behavior but about allowing Jesus to transform your identity. One is the Samaritan woman who met Jesus at the well and the other is our guest, Jessica Harris.

#369: Changing the Way We Talk About Porn (Because Women Struggle Too)

“I had one woman say, ‘I struggle with masturbation.’ And she just started crying. And then she said, ‘I’ve never said that word out loud.’” In this Java with Juli, Joy Skarka recalls her experiences walking with women who struggle with porn, and shares from her own story of addiction to freedom. Despite rising numbers of women using porn and erotica, we still tend to refer to it as a "guy thing." Juli, Joy, and Jonathan Daugherty sit down for a conversation about creating safe places for women to come forward and ask for help. Grab your Java and join us!

Q&A: What Do I Do When Sexual Sin Gets the Better of Me?

Dear Juli, My journey with fighting sexual temptation has been long and exhausting. I'm at a point where I know I'm not perfect. I'm going to fail sometimes. So how do I respond after I masturbate? Or watch porn? Or commit some other sexual act that I didn't want to? No matter your sexual struggle, we are all on a stumbling journey toward sexual integrity. In this video, Juli offers biblical insight to help you embrace God’s forgiveness, and shares practical things you can do to understand what's happening in your mind in those moments before temptation becomes overwhelming.
