The Road to Grace Video Series – The Path to Recovery from Porn Addiction

Here are the topics covered in each session.

• Part 1: Mike’s Story

  Mike Genung shares his story, which includes being molested as a teen, 20 years of bondage to sexual sin with daily binges with porn and masturbation, sex with prostitutes, and affairs; an 8 year search for freedom that included hours in support groups and counseling, reading the Bible and praying every day, and a crisis of faith that occurred when those things failed to provide the abundant life he had been searching for all of his life.

• Part 2: The physical, emotional, and spiritual effects of pornography on a man and his wife

  If you go to a church for help with sexual sin, you might receive several Bible verses, an offer for prayer, or counsel that might even border on spiritual abuse (which is quite common – some wives are told that their husband’s sexual sin is their fault). Go to a psychologist, and you might receive a diagnosis and treatment plan to fit that diagnosis, leaving God out of the picture. The intense spiritual battles that the husband and his wife face are often left out of both the church and the counselor’s office. It’s important to understand that porn and sexual sin affects the entire person—body, spirit, and emotions. In this segment Mike Genung discusses the chemical, emotional, and spiritual effects of sexual sin on those who find themselves in bondage to it, the trauma that sexual sin inflicts on the spouse, and the spiritual warfare that is set against them to destroy their marriage and family. Many leave out the wife when it comes to healing and recovery from the spouse’s sexual sin, which is a big mistake. The healing of her heart is just as critical as her husband’s.

• Part 3: Action Steps to Freedom

  We now turn toward looking at answers. This session provides the consistent action steps those who are in bondage to sexual sin and want freedom can take that will make a significant impact. Freedom requires an overhaul of the heart; sexual sin damages the entire character, affects how the man treats his wife, and distances him from God. Many women are struggling with porn and sex addiction; the principles apply equally to both men and women who want help.

• Part 4: The Road to Healing for the Wife and Marriage

  Pornography and adultery in a marriage are devastating to a wife. Their self-esteem can be shattered, there are struggles with fear, anger, hopelessness, and anxiety, and they face a spiritual enemy who is out to take them down. In this session we provide the consistent action steps a wife can take that will move her from hopelessness to healing and even overcoming, regardless of her circumstances. Building her identity through the lens of Scripture, overcoming fear, who not to tell, and trust issues are discussed, among others.

• Part 5: Warfare, and Breaking the Power of Lies

  Since the beginning of time, Satan has used the power of a lie to bind God’s people and destroy lives. One lie, such as “I’m on my own,” “God doesn’t love me,” “I must do something to be loved,” or “porn is love and comfort,” is enough to keep a man or woman distant from God, trapped in fear, hopelessness, or bitterness. We often see that the people we work with (including pastors) have 8-10 lies that have been hidden in their hearts for years. When these lies are exposed and their power is broken, captives are set free to live the abundant life God has called them to as a spiritual warrior and overcomer. In this session we examine the lies that many are in bondage to and how to break their power.

• Part 6: Youth and the Church

  Many of those we work with were first exposed to pornography by the age of 8; today kids receive smartphones with wide open internet access as early as the age of 3. Most alarmingly, for the past 20 years, surveys have shown that 75% of youth have been walking away from church. The falling away of our youth and sexual issues are connected. One of the primary reasons for this mass exodus is that our youth aren’t being equipped in the areas they’re struggling with, especially sexual issues and spiritual warfare. We would save many of God’s people from years of pain and turmoil if we equipped our youth in these areas, which is what this session is about.

  We finish the series by discussing the Biblical imperative that every church must openly talk about sexual issues, and equip God’s people to be overcomers and spiritual warriors who make their lives count for eternity.
