What Every Parent Needs to Know About Pornography | Exposure, Addiction & Recovery (with Andrew Buck)

Pornography is one of the biggest discipleship challenges facing this generation. The average age of first exposure continues to drop, and many children don't go looking for pornography. Instead, pornography finds them. So what should parents do? In this episode, I'm joined by Andrew Buck of The Freedom Fight to discuss one of the most important conversations Christian parents need to have. Andrew shares his own story of being exposed to pornography at just 11 years old, the addiction that followed through middle school, high school, and college, and how Christ ultimately brought lasting freedom. Today, Andrew dedicates his life to helping students break free from pornography and sexual addiction while equipping parents to respond with both truth and grace. In this episode we discuss: • What pornography does to the brain • Why exposure is different from addiction • Warning signs your child may be struggling • How pornography affects boys and girls • What to do if your child has been exposed • How to respond if your child confesses an addiction • Practical ways parents can create a safe environment for honest conversations • Why shame is never the path to lasting freedom • The hope that Christ offers for those battling pornography Whether you're parenting young children, tweens, teenagers, or college students, this conversation will equip you to navigate one of the most difficult issues families face today with wisdom, truth, and hope. **How to connect with Freedom Fight:** Parent Equipping Webinar 30-Day Challenge ⁠⁠**How to connect with Raising Rock:** Learn more about ⁠Raising Rock⁠.
