Pornography Addiction

Pornography is a growing epidemic, and 1 out of 3 visitors to adult sites are women. Joy Skarka will talk about how porn impacts women, our society, and our relationships. Sexual shame causes Christian women to feel far from God, live a secret life of sexual sin, doubt that God loves them, and even question their salvation. This breakout session will help leaders understand sexual shame as one of the root issues among women's sexual struggles, while focusing specifically on the issues of pornography. Ministry leaders must help women find freedom from sexual shame to help them walk in sexual integrity, wholeness, and healing. The freedom journey begins through understanding the character of God, being known in a biblical community, and understanding God's design for sexuality. The research presented is from Joy Skarka's dissertation from the Dallas Theological Seminary's DEdMin program.
