Mentor - Paul Moughtin

For the past 10 years I have observed the harm and researched the impact of pornography on the Church, society and the individual. Now, as a mentor, I come alongside men like you, in Asia, USA and UK, I encourage and equip them on their journey away from porn use.  If you want to explore journeying together, away from porn, click the button bellow to arrange a free consultation.

I’m married to Jane, an artist, the delight of my life. We have lived most of our adult lives outside our country of birth, England, and are now based in Dunoon, Scotland at the beginning of the ‘Highlands & Islands’, coming evermore alive in God in the wild, beauty of this land. 

From here we travel, mainly into Asia, where I speak in churches, youth groups, guest-lecture at Bible colleges and seminaries on the impact and recovery from porn. I take every opportunity that God opens because we need to end the silence, and to speak of the ‘elephant in the room’. When 75% of men and 40% of women in the church are using porn, I can’t be quiet. I know the damage it did to me, and those close to me.

I first encountered porn when I was in primary school, perhaps 9 years of age. Walking home from school I found a book left on a wall, I opened it, and each page had a picture of a man and woman in a different sexual position. That was half a century ago, but I still recall the overload of feelings. Nauseous, wanting to throw the book away. Intrigued, wanting to turn to the next image, all at the same time. And so started my battle with unwanted sexual behaviour.

To defeat my out-of-control porn use I’d fasted, prayed, been prayed for, had deliverance ministry, covenanted with God, begged God. Sometimes I’d manage months without using, believing that I was finally free, only to find myself unexpectedly triggered, and returning to familiar websites. Nearly 40 years passed before I invited someone else into my silent, shame-filled struggle, and there began my journey into freedom. Do things sound familiar? Why don't we talk?
