Joshua Shea is a former pornography addict now on a mission to get the world talking about pornography addiction, and the potential ramifications of being addicted to porn.

He's written four books on the subject. Joshua’s most recent book, I'm Reading This Book About Porn Addiction For a Friend, introduces readers who are struggling in early recovery, or looking for more information about a suspected addiction. It includes symptoms, stories of addicts with whom Shea has worked, and a series of activities to personalize the process. 

His third book, Porn and the Pandemic: How Three Months in 2020 Changed Everything was released in July 2020. It looks at how the world of online pornography changed overnight during the COVID-19 Coronavirus outbreak, with analysis and interviews from current and former pornography addicts, "cam models" who use sites like Chaturbate and OnlyFans, and a bevy of mental health and addiction professionals.

Online pornography exploded during the pandemic. Joshua also is the author of The Addiction Nobody Will Talk About: How I Let My Pornography Addiction Hurt People and Destroy Relationships (2018), a memoir about his descent during the final days of his addiction.

He also wrote He’s a Porn Addict…Now What? (2019) written for female partners of male porn addicts who are grappling with the revelation their loved one is an addict. It was co-written with Tony Overbay. 

Since 2018, Shea has appeared on over 350 podcasts, television and radio shows using his personal story to promote the ideas that porn addiction spans all demographics and those with a problem should seek help before it’s too late.

Prior to admitting his addiction, Joshua was a prominent magazine publisher, award-winning journalist, film festival founder and politician in central Maine.  Sober since early 2014, Joshua comes to us from Central Maine, where he lives with his wife and two children, 4 dogs and 8 cats.

This video is long with good reason. Where the sin is great the judgement and exposure is great but the tools to break chains will also be handed out of Yah has given them to me. 

Whoever listens to this message the whole way through you will get your strength back to fight and break free from lust, inordinate affections, homosexual desires and curiosity, actual homosexual practices including sodomy [both male and female who practice this], lesbianism, masturbation, pornography addiction, fornication, lusting for children and minors, and interest in bestiality (at the very least).

It is time for people of God to wear their holy armor and stop walking around lustful and struggling, steeped in lies that they “always have to be that way”. Yah is in His holy temple and His power has never diminished to set the captives free. Come up the mountain with me. I do not trust to my teaching or skills or gifts but I trust the power of Jesus Christ in this video to break BONDAGES and begin the permanent deliverance of anyone who truly wants to be delivered of ongoing sexual immorality. You were not born to be gay, you were not born to be enslaved to evil desires, and NO you were not born to suffer. Let us go up, Jesus still saves. Shalom. 🙏🏽🌺

Kind regards, Celestial
