It’s time to acknowledge the “porn in the room”.
Unfortunately, this topic hits too close to home for too many families. And goes beyond being a moral issue, causing ripple-effect damage to our culture.
So I’ve invited father & son team, Dr. Josh and Dr. Jimmy Myers, on the show this week. As licensed clinical counselors they have had their share of experience helping families heal from the devastation of pornography.
In this episode Jimmy & Josh help us avoid the temptation of pornography. And discuss ways to get freedom from addiction. I loved their advice on how we can best approach difficult conversations with our spouses. Praying this is an episode wives and husbands can listen to and it brings more connection than division.
