Rachael Killackey of Magdala Ministries joins Doug to discuss the often-overlooked issue of pornography addiction among women. Together, they explore why women struggle with pornography, the underlying factors that can contribute to addiction, and the hope available for healing. They also discuss the role of forgiveness in the recovery process and offer practical guidance for husbands who want to support their wives with compassion and encouragement as they work toward freedom.

Listener questions and comments:

• Veronica – I first viewed pornography when I was 7 because I found my dad’s magazines. MTV made it worse. It really hurt my marriage when my husband and I watched it together. (19:45)
• Mary – I am a recovering porn addict, and it is difficult because it is everywhere. I had to delete all my social media accounts. (24:29)
• Keri – My daughter is online making money from porn. She wants to stop, but she likes the money. She cannot love a man, and it is affecting the entire family. How can I help her? (29:15)
• Margaret – I’m almost 70 years old. My dad worked in the porn industry, and all of us children were affected by this. None of us had a healthy marriage. It’s difficult to fight for virtue, but it’s so worth it to help your own children. (46:00)
