The Poison of Pornography | Greg Gifford...

JONNY ARDAVANIS
About this episode

In this powerful Dial In Ministries podcast episode, we tackle the devastating impact of pornography addiction in the church. Biblical counselor Greg Gifford shares practical strategies for making "no provision for the flesh" while finding superior satisfaction in Christ.

Learn why 94% of teens are exposed to pornography by age 14 and why this sin is so prevalent even among Christian men. Discover why treating porn as an "addiction" misses the biblical perspective, and get practical accountability measures you can implement today.

Whether you're struggling personally or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers biblical wisdom, hope, and practical steps toward freedom.

Greg and Jonny discuss:

- The prevalence of pornography in Christian communities

- Debunking addiction myths with biblical truth

- Practical guardrails for avoiding temptation

- Finding true satisfaction in Christ rather than momentary pleasure

- The importance of accountability partnerships
