The Pastor's Heart with Dominic Steele

Solutions for reducing the pornography problem - with Marshall Ballentine Jones

Marshall Ballantine-Jones Season 3 Episode 38

After three years of researching the pornography problem and what to do about it, Marshall Ballentine Jones has a message of hope. 

The same stats keep recurring – 70% of males and 20% of females struggle with pornography use. 

This is true in Christian schools, our churches, and ministry staff. Pornography negatively impacts individuals, their relationships, and society. Males are more likely to initiate sexualised behaviour over social media (called ‘sexting’), while females are more likely to be targets of sexting. If this is news to you - please check out the resistporn.org site, which has the research. 

There is a long list of people in our ranks affected by pornography. No one is immune, and the problem remains urgent. Marshall has been on a quest has been to help find effective solutions. 

There is no easy fix or silver bullet, but he’s recommending a four pronged tested strategy to as a way forward: 1. Communication, 2 Containment, 3. Co-operation and 4. Clinical support.
