Help! I'm a Pastor that Struggles with Pornography | Dr. Doug Weiss
Did you know, 40-50% of pastors are currently struggling with porn? Perhaps you’ve heard this statistic, but maybe you haven’t. Regardless, this is a startling number. Nearly half of spiritual leaders consider porn to be a current struggle. It’s important to get help if you’re a pastor struggling with pornography. To get scheduled with a Christian counselor or coach who specializes in sexual recovery, call 719-278-3708. As a church leader, the pressure to hide our problems from our congregation (and other leaders, our spouse, and the list goes on…) is heavy. The longer we keep it hidden, the easier it is to also convince ourselves that there’s not actually a problem. 75% of pastors don’t make themselves accountable to anyone for their Internet use. There is a power in walking through this with others who understand, who are rooting for you, and who are just as committed to making progress on this journey as you are. So whether it’s an accountability partner, a group of others, or a counselor, please don’t struggle in isolation any longer. To get scheduled with Christian groups, coaches and counselors who will maintain your confidentiality and give you true tools to heal, give Heart to Heart Counseling Center a call at 719-278-3708. We also have groups and counseling available for wives of pastors who are struggling with pornography.
