Perhaps you yourself, or someone you know are one of the 40 million Americans who regularly visit Internet porn sites. On today's edition of Family Talk, Jim Cress, a certified sex addiction therapist, explains to Dr. Tim Clinton that while viewing porn, you're short circuiting the God-designed pleasurable reactions in your body that were intended to bond you to your spouse. Instead, you're bonding to an illusion. But, there is hope! Galatians 5:1 says, "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery." By confessing your sin and through much prayer, you can be rid of this addiction. In some situations, professional counseling is required and is ministered with successful results. People can and do get their lives back and are freed of the sinful shackles that bind!

Did you know that 68% of church-going men view porn on a regular basis and that more than half of American divorces involve a spouse's use of pornography? On today's edition of Family Talk, Jim Cress, a certified sex addiction therapist, explains that porn is crack cocaine to the soul. When people are bored or stressed, they self-medicate with pornography and its instant rush of pleasure, but often feel shame afterwards. In 2 Corinthians 10:4, the Apostle Paul urges us to demolish strongholds through divine power. That includes the stronghold of porn.

Pornography destroys empathy, draws out latent violence, and robs users of true intimacy. Today on Family Talk, neurologist Dr. Don Hilton and certified OB/GYN Dr. Joe McIlhaney will conclude their discussion on the awful effects of pornography. The two will dive into why the objectification of women has resulted in the #MeToo movement, and how families can model, educate, and help rescue a loved one from the grips of this evil. All this on today's edition of Dr. James Dobson's Family Talk.

Pornography has corrupted Gods purpose for intimacy and distorted millions of men's and women's view of sex. On this edition of FamilyTalk, neurologist Dr. Don Hilton and certified OB/GYN Dr. Joe McIlhaney will unpack how the brain is simultaneously sophisticated and primal. Chemicals like dopamine reward the brain when pornography is viewed, and with those chemical rewards comes addiction. Studies have shown that porn usage is comparable to cocaine usage and has detrimental physical and psychological effects on the brain. That's today on Dr. James Dobsons Family Talk.
