Conference Focus - Is Pornography really a big problem with our kids and teens?

Pornography is more accessible, accepted, and aggressive than ever before. It is a HUGE problem for young people, including Christian teens. Studies show that viewing porn affects how we view ourselves, other people, and God. It even physically changes the structure of the brain and hurts our ability to develop loving, lasting relationships. This session will provide insight, hope, and direction for how to avoid the snare of pornography and to help our kids and teens discern and navigate in our complicated culture.

Pornography teaches us scripts about sexuality, scripts are the dramaturgical approach to interaction, the role we perform in relation to a particular audience..

In GodQuest, authors Sean McDowell and Stan Jantz present six 'signposts' that will guide you along your spiritual journey. The signposts include truths and compelling evidence on the topics of God, creation, the Bible, the identity of Jesus, the problem of suffering, and the path to heaven. GodQuest will help you explore the truth of Christianity in a way that is intriguing, relevant, and easy to understand.








The script of porn:

1. Sex is best experienced outside of a loving relationship
2. All women want sex from men
3. Women like all acts men perform or demand
4. Any woman who does not at first realize this can be  persuaded with a little force

The bonding mechanism God has place in our bodies becomes disabled by pornography.

Three myths heard of pornography

1. "It doesn't affect me"

• Pornography teaches us scripts about sexuality, scripts are the dramaturgical approach to interaction, the role we perform in relation to a particular audience..

2. "I'll quit later"

• Many counselors say that sexual addiction is the hardest addiction to overcome. An addiction is something that fills a void of what a relationship should fill.

3. "I'm not hurting anyone"

• the links to sexual trafficking and pornography are devastating 

If you want to help parents fight this battle, equip parents and equip them early.
