SUMMARY

On this third episode of our most listened-to topic, Brad is joined by his wife, Jenna, to take a look at a side of the pornography addiction topic that is often looked over. While it is not only men that deal with pornography addictions, the statistics show that most cases are men. There are also cases where men are married, leading to hard conversations and a rocky season of marriage. It is very difficult for men to confess to their wives, but we also understand how heartbreaking this can be to a wife. Jenna opens up about her feelings and how the community around them helped turn the focus from the sin itself to a desperate need for Jesus.
