A Christian Approach to Freedom From Pornography

Pornography can be approached behaviorally, cognitively, relationally, and spiritually. This section presents explicitly Christian material for visitors who want it.

Renewing the Mind

Christian growth includes learning to examine thoughts rather than simply following them. Tempting thoughts can be noticed, challenged, and redirected.

Flee Temptation, Do Not Negotiate With It

Sometimes the most rational and biblical response is behavioral: leave the room, put the device down, remove the opportunity, and choose another activity.

Grace and Responsibility

Taking responsibility for behavior does not require global self-condemnation. A person can judge a behavior as sinful or harmful without concluding that he or she is worthless or beyond change.

Accountability and Fellowship

Trusted Christian fellowship can reduce secrecy, provide encouragement, and create opportunities for honest correction and support.

Faith Should Accompany Practical Action

Prayer, Scripture, and spiritual growth do not prevent you from also using filtering software, changing routines, identifying triggers, and practicing new behaviors.
