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

Statistics show that nearly 70% of 10 men and 25% of women struggle with an addiction to pornography.

Those are difficult numbers to consider… and sadly, those statistics don’t change much when it comes to those who claim a faith in Christ.

In this series, I will introduce you to Mike, a man whose porn addiction began in high school, and his wife, Erin… who had been led to believe that her husband didn’t have this problem.

To begin this series, we hear from Mike. He shares about how his first exposure to porn as a young boy was a catalyst to full addiction as a teen. Convinced that it was just a phase that he would grow out of, he could not have imagined how difficult it would be to stop, or how devastating his confession would be for his wife.

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
