The Problem with Pornography video series

Why Talk About Pornography?

At Focus on the Family Canada, we get calls every day from people looking for help for the unique challenges they’re facing. One of the ways we support people is through our free, one-time phone consultation with our in-house counsellors. Luke Campbell is one of those counsellors.

Time and time again, people call in about their problem with pornography. The culture is loudly telling us it’s normal, but people are seeing damage being done to themselves, their relationships and their faith. That’s why we need to step into the discomfort of this topic and shine God’s light in the darkness.

Watch the video to get started, then check out the Scripture, discussion questions and additional resources.
