The News
Joshua Broome and XO Marriage launched a free "Made Whole" course addressing pornography's impact on Christian marriages. Broome argues that pornography remains one of the most effective weapons against marriages today, yet most churches lack the tools or courage to help couples find healing and restoration.
Why It Matters
Pornography affects 1 in 3 church attenders, yet most pastors avoid the topic entirely. The shame and secrecy around it keep couples isolated and prevent them from seeking help within the church community. If your church isn't addressing sexual brokenness, you're missing an opportunity to provide crucial pastoral care and demonstrate Christ's redemptive grace.
The Takeaway
This month, decide whether your church will offer marriage counseling resources on pornography—start with the free XO Marriage course or similar training for your pastoral team.
