Steve Prokopchak joins Larry Kreider as they embark on a two-part series on sexual wholeness. Steve shares the shocking statistics concerning pornography in today’s culture. Join Steve and Larry as they address the issues and challenges of pornography and how it is affecting people of all ages in society and the church. The Conditioning Process: First step – introduction or exposure Second step – habit/compulsion leading to addiction Third step – intensification Fourth step – desensitization Fifth step – acting upon one’s own fantasy/imaginations Quotable Quotes: “Pornography will never take you where God wants you to go.” “God has had a wonderful plan for sex, [but] the enemy always produces a counterfeit.” Highlights: Statistics show that the issue of pornography is sweeping through the nation and the church. Porn consumption can lead to dissatisfaction and a lack of interest in one’s spouse. Viewing pornography not only supports the porn industry but also contributes to the exploitation of victims of human trafficking. Finding freedom begins by being honest with yourself, your pastor, spouse, counselor, and/or seeking group support.
