Overcome Pornography - What’s Possible with Josh

Episode 138: What’s Possible with Josh

September 04, 20232 min read

This week, I'm bringing you the last "What's Possible" interview I have planned, and we're celebrating my client, Josh. Josh's story is filled with hope and connection, and he's truly an example of what you can achieve when you approach your porn habit with confidence and curiosity.

Like many people in the Overcome Pornography community, Josh first started watching porn as a pre-teen and was immediately hooked, despite having intense feelings of shame and believing that he shouldn’t be viewing it. This started a cycle of porn use, shame, and failed attempts to quit. However, he has made immense progress in both his porn use and feelings of shame around it, and he's here to share it all with us on the podcast.

Tune in this week to hear how Josh went from feeling intense pressure about quitting porn to successfully quitting by accepting that his progress with porn would never be linear. Josh shares his advice for dealing with slip-ups as you start quitting pornography, and we go deep into all the ways he has grown since he stopped struggling with pornography. 

If youre an ecclesiastical leader, like a Bishop, Pastor, or youth leader who wants specific training on how to help your congregation navigate the challenges of pornography with grace and research-backed techniques, my ecclesiastical leader training is now open for enrollment. Its happening on September 28th 2023, its only $25, and you can click here for all the details.
