Description

I'm so excited about the show today. This is definitely a show you're going to want to share with your friends! Today we will be discussing the topic of pornography, so make sure you have some headphones in so no little ears hear anything too specific.

My special guest on the show today is Ted Shimer. For the past 30 years, Ted Shimer has witnessed first-hand the destruction of pornography addictions – marriages, careers, and lives devastated by an uncontrollable, all-consuming dependence.

Ted Shimer is the founder of The Freedom Fight, an online pornography addiction recovery program. He has mentored young adults for nearly three decades with the Collegiate Ministry Student Mobilization. He received his MABS from Dallas Seminary and is trained as a Pastoral Sex Addiction Professional-Supervisor.

Things we discussed:

1. The staggering stats on the prevalent pornography addiction.
2. The variety of ways COVID-19 and the global pandemic have impacted the consumption of pornography.
3. Ted shares the reason why the use of pornography in a marriage can be so destructive.
4. Practical tips on how parents can talk about pornography with their kids and at what age they should begin learning about it.
