Pornography is like a drug. It draws in consumers and hooks them. Many say they've tried to quit over and over. But progress can feel almost imperceptible. It's easy to get discouraged and want to give in. Those who succeed learn that victory is about preparing for the long game. It takes endurance to overcome pornography.
In this episode we sit down with Garrett Jonsson. He's a father, a fighter, and an endurance enthusiast. He shares with us what it takes to overcome pornography. Not just personally, but also as a dad fighting for his family and his community. Plus he's got advice for parents whose kids are consuming pornography. And finally, a call to all dads to take up the fight.
There are those of us who fight pornography. And then there are those who fight pornography by running 30 marathons in 30 days, then hop on a bike for another 56 days and cycle from Virgina to California. Ok, scratch that. There's only one fighter like Garrett! Tune in to the podcast and listen to his incredible story.
