Patterns of Power with Craig Perra (habits, mindfulness, high-performance, self-leadership)
Christian Porn Addiction Programs Are Making It WORSE (Here’s Why)
In this episode, Coach Craig Perra tackles one of the most controversial and important topics in the church today: why so many faith-based porn recovery programs fail—and how they may actually make things worse (unintentionally of course). Drawing on over a decade of coaching pastors, Christian leaders, and men of faith, Craig exposes the hidden disconnect between sin-based approaches and neuroscience. He explores why shame-based recovery fuels relapse, why “perfect sobriety” is an illusion, and how Internal Family Systems (IFS) offers a Christ-aligned, science-backed path toward healing. 🔥 Topics Covered: Why so many pastors secretly struggle with porn How “don’t lust” and “don’t touch” rules backfire The dangerous all-or-nothing myth of “perfect sobriety” The truth about our biology, trauma, and unmet needs A faith-aligned alternative: leading your “addict part” with grace, not shame 🧠 If you’ve ever felt like your faith and your biology are at war, this episode might change how you see addiction forever. 👉 Learn more or get help at www.mindfulhabithelp.com
