One problem that biblical counselors will surely face in their
counseling and everyday conversations, regardless of gender, is the
addiction and enslavement to pornography. It is not uncommon to hear and
meet counselees whose first introduction to pornography happened in
their pre-adolescent years of 7-12.
With a problem so prevalent and pervasive in the church, numerous
books and articles have been written on the topic. How can biblical
counselors contribute to this conversation?
Biblical Counseling Coalition (BCC) member and Association of
Certified Biblical Counselor’s Executive Director, Heath Lambert
recently authored a book entitled, Finally Free: Fighting for Purity with the Power of Grace which has ably defined and elucidated a gospel-centered approach to fighting the sin of pornography.

Something I have found personally helpful in counseling with both men
and women through this issue is helping the counselee identify what
motivates him or her to seek out pornography. Continue at Jonathan Holmes
