More and more commentators speak openly about the social and mental health consequences of porn: the degrading nature of warped expectations, the ever-more transgressive practices, the normalization of violence, and the dark underside of human trafficking. But most of the time, they stop short of pronouncing moral judgment about pornography in general. As people who follow Jesus Christ, we go further. We don’t oppose pornography merely because of bad outcomes. We oppose pornography because we know, deep down, our hearts are to be pointed in a different direction. But we fool ourselves if we think porn is something only out there, in the world. The pervasiveness of pornography affects the church as well—young people and old, men and women.
On this episode of Reconstructing Faith, join Trevin Wax as he discusses how to address this secret catastrophe, the challenge that pornography poses to hearts and minds inside the church, not just out in the world.
