Resources for Men Struggling with Pornography

Research shows that 75% of men who identify as Christian admit to consuming pornography on some level. Even more alarming is that over half of Christians who are ACTIVE in their faith (54%) say they view pornography as well. And just when we think, “That could never be me,” the enemy gets into position. The battle is real, and it’s happening inside the church, in our homes, and in our lives. 

On October 19 at 6 PM, we are holding a men’s event at Beacon Hill Baptist Church in Somerset, KY, called, This Is War. This event will primarily be to raise awareness of this issue among Christian men and call us to do battle with this ongoing assault on our marriages, homes, churches, and culture. We are also preparing to host a recovery group, beginning in January 2026, for men who want to get serious about removing this from their life.

That being said, if you’ve been struggling with pornography use or if you want to help protect your home as much as possible, I not only encourage you to attend this event, but also check out some of the links below for resources that may help you.
