Free Webinar: Dealing with Pornography in Everyday Discipleship
I’m doing a free webinar titled “Dealing with Pornography in Everyday Discipleship” with The Center for Faith, Sexuality, & Gender today, February 5th, at 2:00pm Eastern Time.
This will be a great equipping resource for anyone in their discipleship, but especially for pastors and ministry leaders. If you’re not a pastor, invite yours to register. The webinar will give them ideas and things to consider regarding discipleship around pornography in your church, with realistic and approachable ways of taking first steps as a church and an individual.

I need this in order to get my heart and mind above the noise and make sure I’m being a real part of the solution, not just talking about it.
