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.

Is Sex Addiction Real? Two Titans Debate

Is Sex Addiction Real? Two Titans Debate

Craig Perra used to run a website about sex and porn addiction news called The Vicereport. He had a podcast and "I had the opportunity to interview Dr. David Ley and George Collins in what I thought would be a cage match between these two titans about whether sex addiction is real" says Craig. Dr. Ley authored the controversial book called the Myth of Sex Addiction, and George Collins, a former sex addict wrote Breaking the Cycle, Free Yourself From Sex Addiction, Porn Obsession and Shame.Dr. Ley also penned an article in the NY Post also entitled "Myth of Sex Addiction" blasting the sex addiction diagnosis and stating, "sex addiction is nothing more than a pop-psychology phenomenon, serving only to demonize sex, enforce moral views of sex and relationship and excuse irresponsible behaviors." George Collins fired back with two articles of his own, the first one entitled "Sex Addiction is Not a Myth" and the second, demanding personally that Dr. Ley "Stop Mocking Sex Addicts."Things get heated at times in this interview especially when George Collins, tells Dr. Ley his sex addiction bashing is hurting those suffering. Dr. Ley responds that there is no scientific evidence supporting an addiction label for compulsive sex, in fact it's bad for the client and society.
