Faith, Christianity & Porn Addiction: Why Traditional Programs Fail—and a Better Way Forward

Faith, Christianity & Porn Addiction: Why Traditional Programs Fail—and a Better Way Forward

Many Christian men—including pastors and church leaders—are silently struggling with porn and sex addiction.

Traditional faith-based programs often miss the mark, focusing too much on “don’t do it” rules, demonizing the addict part, and defining success as perfect sobriety.

In this sex & porn addiction podcast, Coach Craig Perra shares why so many Christian men feel stuck, the hidden struggles pastors face, and how evidence-based models like Internal Family Systems (IFS) and The Mindful Habit® align beautifully with Christian faith. Discover a neuroscience-supported path rooted in grace, forgiveness, and systems that actually create lasting change.

If you’re a Christian man battling sex or porn addiction—or supporting someone who is—this episode will give you hope, clarity, and tools to lead yourself with faith and integrity.
