Start Younger
Teens shouldn't have to wait until adulthood to start outgrowing porn. Because porn is reaching boys sooner than ever, healing should start sooner, too. If you’re a young man who feels stuck in a cycle of sexual shame or a parent who wants to help, this podcast is for you. Each episode empowers fathers and sons to heal together and find lasting freedom from porn through vulnerability, curiosity, and compassion from a Christian perspective. Join author Drew Boa, clinical psychologist Dr. Doug Carpenter, and youth recovery expert Blake Brinkman for the conversations most of us never had—but desperately need. Don’t wait! Outgrow porn at any age.
