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.

What if Your Sex/Porn Addiction is A Solution?

What if Your Sex/Porn Addiction is A Solution?

The golden rule of behavior modification is "to break a habit you have to make the right habits that meet the right needs." This rule implies that compulsive sexual behavior is meeting needs ... because it is. Consider viewing your problem instead as a SOLUTION so you put yourself in the best position to develop a better SOLUTION. Failure to understand the needs that your compulsive sexual behaviors are meeting is huge. This perspective will completely change the way you think about your problem!!!!
