Women and pornography: the church's silence stems from greater shame; solutions come from women who have found victory speaking out

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 3) 00:21:59 – 00:23:30

Response to viewer asking for Christian resources for women struggling with pornography and why the church focuses more on men.

Mike acknowledges he does not know specific resources but directs the community to post them in comments. He suggests women are more ashamed than men about pornography addiction, which has created a self-propagating silence. Men speaking out first created acceptance for their struggles in the church; women speaking out could do the same. Key principle: those who have overcome a problem — who have the antibodies — are the most helpful to others still struggling. He encourages women to speak out from a place of victory, not just catharsis.
