About this event

Why ministry leaders can’t afford to ignore this conversation.

Pornography is one of the most pervasive and unspoken struggles within our congregations. It is shaping views of intimacy, distorting identity, and influencing the emotional and spiritual development of children, teens, and adults alike. Many believers suffer in silence, unsure where to turn—and leaders often feel uncertain about how to respond with both truth and compassion.

This roundtable is designed to equip pastors, ministry staff, and church leaders with clarity, confidence, and practical tools. Together we will explore:

The psychological, relational, and spiritual impact of pornography

How porn rewires the brain and influences long-term patterns of connection

What individuals and families need from faith communities

How to cultivate a culture where honest conversations can happen safely

Strategies for prevention, accountability, and healing

How leaders can support those who struggle while resisting shame-based approaches

This is not a conversation about judgment—it’s a conversation about freedom, restoration, and wise leadership. By understanding what your congregation is actually facing, you are better equipped to shepherd them toward hope and wholeness.

Join us for an honest, expert-led dialogue that will strengthen your ministry and empower you to care well for the people God has entrusted to you. Your presence matters, and your voice will help shape a more compassionate and informed response in the Church.
