The porn industry is a multi-billion dollar enterprise that couldn’t believe its fortunes when the Internet came into being.  In this module, we look at what the porn industry knows about the way humans work and how they make a fortune from millions of weekly visitors online.

You will learn about:

• The magic formula that keeps people clicking on porn sites time and again
• The real ages of people who watch porn (yes it is also younger than 18)
• The ways they subtly hook people unwittingly, even at an early age.

This module examines the relationship of Christianity and porn. There are more statistics that indicate the percentage of people who subscribe to Christianity and getting caught up in porn is higher than what most people are willing to admit.

Because porn is so easily available and the degree of shame associated with the condition, it's often not addressed within many Christian churches. Because of this, many Christians struggle with this condition in secrecy or silence, which just increases the problem.

In this module:

• We unpack the most recent statistics about people in the church getting involved with pornography.
• Discussing about this program and how it makes a difference for Christians who are affected by porn.
• We provide tools and resources that help Christians find more answers to the issue of porn.
• Also we discuss ways Christians can maintain their sexual purity when tempted, especially when in the digital world.

In this module, we look at the evidence about how much a person might be involved with porn and everything that goes along with it.

Whether you are male or female, we talk about how a person's life can become obsessed with watching porn. We dive into how can start as a casual curiosity and grow into a deeper habit that is harder to break. 

We also talk about how having a relationship with porn is like having a drug habit, and how it is more difficult than most people think to get away from it.

This module discusses why porn has the ability to entrap millions of people every day. Why do millions of people stop what they're doing to watch pixels on a screen instead of having a real relationship? 

This module we unpack:

• What is the connection between porn and why people use it to escape their problems.
• The various types of pain that people go through in life, and how they use porn to deal with it.
• How the creation and preservation of secrets, particularly in the context of porn, allows porn to thrive for longer than it was ever supposed to.

In this module, we look at the mindset that often accompanies people who struggle with porn and other sexual temptations. 

The way people think about themselves, and their surroundings deeply impacts the reason why porn obtains significant power over their lives.

We look into how people replace a healthy mindset with short-term satisfaction, and why it’s critical to address this issue of what we think about ourselves before people have a meaningful chance to find their way out.

In this module, we will reveal what is meant by tapping into the Sources of Strength when it comes to fortifying yourself against sexual temptations and pornography.

Also in this module:

• We illustrate how anyone looking for a way out from pornography and unwanted sexual behaviour must deal with the basics.

Managing your environment is a critical aspect of staying strong.  Each decision about your environment strengthens you or weakens you in regards to managing sexual temptations.

The Matching of your Being module is important for unlocking long-term freedom from the shackles of pornography and other unwanted temptations.

Many people discuss using external systems to solve the problem. The issue is that systems can fail, and if you don't change the way you think about porn from the inside out, you won't be able to tap into that strength that helps you live free for longer.

We unpack why this process of changing from the inside out is one of the most powerful and effective ways a person can live a more joyful and porn-free life.

One of the issues for people who struggle with porn and sexual temptations is the practice of being present, and the temptation to escape into a mindset of the quick fix.

Sometimes you can get caught up in thinking about the future or the past, anywhere but where you are now, and this is a common trap that entangles and prevents people living free day after day.

In this module:

• We unpack the pitfall of the illusion about control.
• We dive into how the desire to control everything becomes a barrier to living in the moment on a daily basis.

Research shows men and women sometimes lack deep meaningful relationships.  It's no secret, men especially can be lonely.  

One of the first casualties of a porn habit or unwanted sexual temptations are the relationships to our family, friends and community.

In this module you will learn more about rebuilding and maintaining real relationships that become a Source of Strength to helping you live a life of sexual purity.
