Christian Porn Addiction Programs Are Making It WORSE (Here’s Why)
Update: 2025-11-06
Description
In this episode, Coach Craig Perra tackles one of the most controversial and important topics in the church today: why so many faith-based porn recovery programs fail—and how they may actually make things worse (unintentionally of course).
Drawing on over a decade of coaching pastors, Christian leaders, and men of faith, Craig exposes the hidden disconnect between sin-based approaches and neuroscience. He explores why shame-based recovery fuels relapse, why “perfect sobriety” is an illusion, and how Internal Family Systems (IFS) offers a Christ-aligned, science-backed path toward healing.
🔥 Topics Covered:
Why so many pastors secretly struggle with porn
How “don’t lust” and “don’t touch” rules backfire
The dangerous all-or-nothing myth of “perfect sobriety”
The truth about our biology, trauma, and unmet needs
A faith-aligned alternative: leading your “addict part” with grace, not shame
🧠 If you’ve ever felt like your faith and your biology are at war, this episode might change how you see addiction forever.
