Increasing numbers of people in our society are starting to become aware of the real dangers of pornography – not just for the users of it, but also for the women who are often enslaved within the industry. Yet why are so few speaking up about it? In culture that is often passionate about justice issues why does this not get the attention it should? 

In this episode of Pod of the Gaps, Aaron, Andy and Michael seek to address that gap by taking an honest look at this issue. How can Christians speak out without sounding prudish or anti-sex? And how can we best help those enslaved by it (the ‘users’ and the ‘used’)? As ever, we explore this pressing cultural issue with the usual mix of theology, wit, and wisdom.

Some of the resources mentioned on the show:

Nicholas Kristof, 'The Children of Pornhub', New York Times (4 December 2020) — online at https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/04/opinion/sunday/pornhub-rape-trafficking.html

Episode 19 - The Pornification of Culture

The Corinthians had drifted from the gospel and as a result they were no longer 'standing' in the truth of what it meant to be either a Christian or a Church. The Apostle writes to them to remind them of what the gospel truly was - and why this was necessary.
