Struggles with pornography are incredibly common within the Church, and the problem isn't going to go away on its own. What can churches do to be an environment where it is safe for congregants and leaders to admit struggles and get the support they need to overcome them? How can those going into ministry receive sufficient discipleship and care so they can heal from past traumas, win the battle, and walk closely and authentically with Jesus? Sam Black, Director of Life Change Education at Covenant Eyes, and author of “The Healing Church: What Churches Get Wrong about Pornography and How to Fix It”, joins Juli to discuss what the church at large can do to address the issue of pornography.

Churches Can Help in the Pornography Crisis Sam Black joins Martha Manikas-Foster for this "Inside Out" podcast on successful ways churches are helping those ensnared by pornography. Black is the author of The Healing Church: What Churches Get Wrong about Pornography and How to Fix It.  A lot of Christians use pornography.   “Two-thirds of the men in the Church -- and a third of women in the church -- say they have an ongoing struggle with pornography,” reports Sam Black, who has walked his own journey to healing. He is the author of The Healing Church: What Churches Get Wrong about Pornography and How to Fix It.  He says that churches that default to a purity talk to fight pornography need a better plan.  “They already know they need to be pure,” he says. “They just can't seem to get the gorilla off their back.”  The way that people who struggle with pornography find hope is in community, Black says. They need brothers and sisters, in a safe environment within distinct parameters, to come alongside them on the walk to freedom. “What I want to encourage you with is, through a safe place and a safe process, living in freedom is absolutely possible,” he says. “You need to press into it to get it.”  But because pornography is tenacious, you won't solve it alone.  “With this encouragement, I also have to offer some caution: you don't find freedom on your own,” he says. “Trying harder and leaning on your willpower and your resolve never lasts. You must involve others. And that's why we have the Body of Christ.”       A free chapter of Sam Black's book is available for download.

The data doesn't lie. Pornography use by men and women is higher than ever, and its impact on our faith communities, marriages, and lives is significant. Sam Black of Covenant Eyes joins AllMomDoes host Julie Lyles Carr for a frank conversation about why people get stuck in porn addiction, how to handle it when your child encounters explicit material, and what resources are available to help you and your marriage heal.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/4diwhvY

This week, Matt and Braden talk with Sam Black about his book “Healing the church” and equipping church leaders on how to talk about sexual brokenness in the church.Pornography is undermining every ministry in the church.The average age for first exposure is 8-12 and so our children's ministries are being impacted by pornography whether we recognize it or not. If we don't equip parents, we are missing the opportunity to protect them and provide them ongoing guidance. Pornogrpahy impacts our teens and youth ministry and marriage and adult ministries. Two thirds of men and one third of women in the church say they have an ongoing struggle with pornography. There is a direct correlation between pornography use and prayer, scripture life, church attendance, feelings about being close to God and doubts about your faith. A university study showed that there is a direct link between how much porn someone used and whether they would serve in their church over the next 6 years. It is important that the church is the safe place for people to go with their addictions to find recovery. You don't need a perfect plan - you need a first next step. This will allow people to create that first step in their own lives. Every step leads to another step. The book breaks down the steps into “easy steps” - something you don't have to think much about; there are “small steps” - steps you can implement without a lot of effort; then “medium” and “large” steps to lead into full recovery. Taking it one step at a time makes it easier and less overwhelming to accomplish and walk into recovery. There are 3 common factors that ministry leaders miss for why people get stuck. 1 - Early childhood exposure. It's so impactful on their brain that even as an adult they can tell you a complete story of that first exposure, but nothing else about that day. 2 - The ongoing use and repetition that burns neuro pathways in the brain to crave it more and more. 3 - Some pain or trauma that happened at a young age can happen elsewhere. These three create pornography as an escape that has been done thousands of times. This is where a safe place and process comes in. The knowledge precedes understanding and understanding precedes change.Ask a questionHave a question you'd like answered live on an episode?

Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession- to the praise of his glory.”   Ephesians 1:15–23 “For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers.

I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.”   Ephesians 2:8–10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God‘s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.“   Ephesians 2:13 “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.“   Philippians 1:6 “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

Here at MinistryWatch we write from time to time about sexual sin, scandal, and brokenness. It has been my experience that many of these stories have pornography as one component of the story.  It is also apparent that pornography has become something of a secret sin among church and ministry leaders. Some surveys have found that as many as 50 percent of church leaders have some involvement with pornography. Other studies say that a child's first involvement with pornography can start as early as age 9. Because these facts are, unfortunately, a part of the current cultural moment, I've read a good bit about the topic, but I've not read anything as wise and helpful as Sam Black's “The Healing Church: What Churches Get Wrong About Pornography, and How To Fix It.” Sam Black believes that churches should places of healing, and he offers both theological and practical advice for church leaders, ministry leaders, those struggling to stop using porn, and those who want to fortify themselves so they never start. Sam Black is the director of recovery education for Covenant Eyes, a software program that provides help and accountability for those who want to avoid online pornography. Prior to joining Covenent Eyes in 2007, he made his living as a journalist.

Today we're joined by Sam Black, director of life change education at Covenant Eyes and author of "The Healing Church: What Churches Get Wrong about Pornography and How to Fix It," to discuss the pervasive issue of pornography and its effects on the brain. We talk about how big a problem porn is and why it's an increasingly prevalent issue. Kids are being exposed to porn from younger and younger ages, which leads to serious issues later on in life including addiction, intimacy, and relationships. We cover how people can get stuck in a cycle of watching porn and how there are big consequences: damaged marriages and relationships and ruined sex lives. But there is hope! We share some ways to break the cycle and recover from dependency on porn and some steps to get help (not out of shame, but out of godly guilt). We also talk about how parents can address this issue with their kids and prevent potential serious issues with porn before they start.
