Episode 185 - Michael John Cusick, "Surfing for God, Part 11: Your Brain on Porn, Part 2"

“Restart and reboot yourself. You're free to go.” - Bono

On this edition of Restoring the Soul, Michael continues his in-depth look at Surfing for God and concludes a 2-part discussion called, “Your Brain on Porn”. Over the past 20 years, the field of neuroscience has exploded our understanding of the human brain. Recent discoveries have profound implications on treating various addictions and psychological disorders and pursuing physical and emotional well-being. The consistent theme is that contrary to conventional wisdom, our brains are highly changeable. Your brain can unlearn, and it can change.

7 Rs to overcome pornography:

1. Recognize the problem
2. Reorientation
3. Relationship
4. Regulation
5. Reboot
6. Restore
7. Repentance

Discover how the barrier built by porn addiction can become a bridge to abundant life.

What if lust for porn is really a search for true passion?

In a world where there are 68 million searches for pornography every day and where over 70 percent of Christian men report viewing porn in the last year, it's no surprise that more and more men struggle with an addiction to this false fantasy. Common wisdom says if they just had more willpower or more faith, their fight would be over.
