Tim is joined by Marshall Ballentine-Jones (CEO of DigiHelp Publishing) and Emma Argall (Christian School teacher) to talk about pornography and it’s impact on young people.
Together they delve into challenges faced in raising children and youth in a highly sexualized world, particularly one with high pornography consumption.
They explore the guilt and shame often associated with pornography consumption among Christian youth, the neurological effects of porn addiction, the theological implications, and navigate how to guide young people towards healthier understandings of sex and relationships.
