Porn is an “epidemic” to the world that affects all areas of life, from marriage to the Church — and the consequences will be devastating if the Body of Christ fails to take it seriously, a former porn star has warned.
On an episode of “Let’s Talk Purity,” a show Brittni De La Mora co-hosts alongside her husband, Richard De La Mora, the former porn star who famously left the industry behind to become a Christian, said that the reason many pastors are silent about the issue of porn is because they’re struggling with addiction themselves. She cited statistics revealing that 50% of pastors watch porn.
“I believe the Church is so silent on this topic because if you’re suffering silently with a porn addiction and now you’re called to go preach the message on Sunday, you’re probably not going to start preaching porn,” she said. “With secret sin comes shame.”
“The Church has been so silent,” she added. “I don’t think I’ve ever really sat in a church service and just heard somebody like, ‘Hey, let’s just talk about porn.’”
Stressing that porn is an “epidemic to the world and also to churches,” the couple identified several reasons the issue is so devastating to marriages and families.
“It’s a floodgate. It’s an open door; porn is a gateway, especially when it comes into marriages,” Richard said, warning that porn introduces both insecurity into marriages, destroys intimacy, and quenches the Holy Spirit.
