Dirty Little Secret - Part 1 - The Confession - Breaking Free From Pornography

Pornography addiction is a silent struggle affecting millions—nearly 70% of men and 25% of women wrestle with it, and the numbers don’t change much within the church.

In this powerful series, we introduce you to Mike, a man whose addiction to porn started in high school, and his wife, Erin—who once believed this was never an issue in their marriage. In this first episode, Mike bravely shares his journey, from his first exposure to pornography as a young boy to the full-blown addiction that followed him into adulthood.

Believing it was just a phase he would outgrow, Mike never imagined the grip it would have on his life—or the heartbreaking impact his confession would have on Erin. Join us as we dive into his raw and honest story, exploring the deep struggles of addiction, the consequences of secrecy, and the hope of healing and restoration.

Lyrics:
I was made to walk in the valley 
I was built to stand in the storm
There’s a peace deep inside me
That can outlast any war
I have faced the dark and the danger
They can’t scare me anymore
I was made to walk in the valley 
I was built to stand in the storm
