18: Father Sean Kilcawley - The Spiritual and Emotional Costs of Porn Use

Father Sean speaks with a firm, quiet authority about pornography. It’s not just because he’s a priest of the High Priest Jesus Christ, nor that he’s the Theological Advisor to Integrity Restored (www.integrityrestored.com). It’s also because, starting at a very young age, he got ensnared by the shiny darkness of compulsive porn use. His counsel is therefore personal, experiential. In this revealing interview, he recalls the disturbing but ultimately healing experience of meeting a former porn actor – whom he (Father Sean) recognized as someone who appeared in a porn VHS he had seen countless times. Only Providence could have arranged such an encounter and produce such a strong dose of restoration… This is a conversation laden with rich scriptural insights into the question of our deepest identity, and the irreplaceable presence of God’s love to bring full and lasting healing from any kind of addiction.   Don’t forget to subscribe to the show to get automatic updates.
