Three Practical Tips to Quit Porn

About this sermon

Matt addresses a truth that may be hard to accept at first, but actually makes perfect sense: we tend to over-spiritualize addiction to porn if we or someone we love is struggling with it. We often think prayer and the sacraments are enough to overcome this sin.

Matt suggests three things for those who are addicted to pornography: 1. Find a Sexaholics Anonymous group near you 2. Find a good certified sex addiction therapist 3. Find a good spiritual director Matt also offers some of his resources to help in the fight: The Porn Myth: https://amzn.to/2wNGwDb Love People, Use Things podcast: https://lovepeopleusethings.fm Also take a look at Ascension’s Theology of the Body series: https://bit.ly/2QroMHU MORE FROM ASCENSION: Ascension’s main website: http://ascensionpress.com Ascension Presents: https://blog.ascensionpress.com/category/ascension-presents/ Ascension Blog: https://blog.ascensionpress.com/category/ascension-blog/ Ascension Podcasts: https://blog.ascensionpress.com/category/ascension-podcasts/ SOCIAL MEDIA Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AscensionPress/ Twitter: http://twitter.com/AscensionPress LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/ascension-press Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/ascensionpress/ Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/c/ascensionpresents
