About This Episode

He was 7 years old when a neighbor showed him a pornographic video. That moment opened a door that haunted him for years. Even after months of victory he felt hooks pulling him back. Then came a vivid dream and a dark presence in his room. This isn't just dopamine and brain chemistry. There's a spiritual component to pornography addiction. His breakthrough came when he spoke scripture out loud and rebuked the enemy.
