You are not alone in your struggle. 

Porn is an end-time strategy of the enemy to distort the Church's intimacy with Christ through the false intimacy of porn. It is essential for leaders to address it, but is often avoided because, well, where do you start? Leaders themselves are struggling with porn, 67% of them said they had in the past struggled with porn, for 32% it is an ongoing struggle. Whatever your situation you don't need to be alone in trying to work out a way forward.

How does porn impact the church?

It causes people to lose interest in relational connections. It encourages people to abandon healthy pursuits. It promotes secrecy and lying. It causes isolation and depression. It increases the likelihood of premarital and extra-marital sex, and therefore family breakdown. It impacts a persons capacity for enjoyment of life. Bible study becomes more difficult because porn reduces a person's ability to concentrate. It diminishes moral competency and spoils a marriage before it has even started. And all this isn't because the porn user has lost their moral compass, it's because porn changes how the brain functions particularly in the lymbic system  - reward centre, and the prefrontal cortex -  executive functioning. But...because the brain is amazing, what has been done can be undone. And that undoing starts with the simple step of acknowledging the issue.
