Sexual Exploitation: Recorded while Watching Porn—Marcos Peres
The worst things that could possibly happen from watching porn happened to Marcos. His story is many of our worst nightmare. Yet, Jesus can redeem even the worst of things. Click here to help this podcast continue having these needed conversations: https://www.provenmen.org/disruptors/Watch this this podcast episode at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lxcBT-GD3A----------bio----------Having been sexually molested at the age of 6, having struggled with porn addiction for 15 years, and having experienced a traumatizing public exposure through falling victim to an online sextortion scam, resulting in the loss of his engagement, Marcos Peres knows all too well the dark realities of shame, guilt, depression, pain, and loss, that accompany sexual addiction. He understands the dynamics of sexual addiction that keeps a person in bondage but has also learned the truths and strategies to finding liberation, healing and restoration from the strongholds. By the Grace of God, Marcos has been walking in freedom from unwanted sexual behaviors since February 2015, after having surrendered his heart and life to Christ, and is now devoted to helping other men and women find the same freedom. Marcos Peres is a full-time commercial and residential real estate agent, a leader for the men’s ministry at Church In The Son and the Demand Prevention Coordinator for United Abolitionist, an anti-human trafficking 501c3 nonprofit on a mission to end modern day slavery. As the Demand Prevention Coordinator, his role is to organize and facilitate trainings and accountability groups to help educate, equip and empower men to find freedom from their sexual bondage, or unwanted sexual behaviors. He does this through creating awareness about the harms of pornography and sharing the truth and beauty of healthy sexuality, so that he can begin to shift men’s views and attitudes about women and sex into practices of sexual integrity and healthy intimacy. In the last 5 years, Marcos has shared his testimony at universities, churches, non-profits, corporations, conferences, tv & radio stations, podcasts, men’s retreats, small group events, and social media platforms reaching thousands with the message of truth, hope and healing. In 2018, he helped pass the Resolution to Declare Pornography a Public Health Crisis in the state of Florida and in 2020 he was featured in Kingdom Works Studios’ new sexual integrity series, Warpath, taught by Dr Doug Weiss. Marcos resides in Orlando, FL and is currently pursuing his Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Master of Divinity degrees at Palm Beach Atlantic University. https://www.unitedabolitionists.com/Support the show
