MyPilgrimage is a new program that is leading pastors everywhere to freedom in the areas of pornography addiction, depression, and anxiety in powerful new ways. It’s also giving them the tools they need to lead their people to this same freedom. It’s a 10-week sacred journey into the depths of the human experience of brokenness and suffering; healing and love. Psychologist Dan Allender has called MyPilgrimage “…a field-guide to walking the terrain of addiction…. offering the immense promise that facing our heartache also offers the mystery of joy.”
THE PROBLEM
| Most pastors (57%) and youth pastors (64%) admit they |
| have struggled with porn, either currently or in the past. |
87% of pastors who use porn feel a great sense of shame about it.
55% of pastors who use porn say they live in constant fear of being discovered.
There is a big difference of opinion between faith leaders and congregants when it comes to the consequences for pastors who struggle with porn.
Only 8% of pastors think that a pastor should resign his/her position if he/she is struggling with porn
In contrast, 41% of adult Christians think that pastors should be fired or asked to resign if they are found to be using porn.
The vast majority of the faith community, including leaders and laity, believe pornography is a bigger problem in the Church than it was two decades ago. But many do not know what to do about it.
93% of pastors and 94% of youth pastors say it is a much bigger or somewhat bigger problem than it was in the past.
The majority of pastors say they are approached frequently by teens and adults of both genders regarding issues with pornography addiction. But despite the awareness of the problem, most churches still do not have programs specifically designed to assist those struggling with porn use.
AND IT IS CLEAR THAT THE APPROACHES THAT HAVE BEEN USED IN THE PAST AREN’T WORKING. IT’S TIME FOR A NEW APPROACH – ONE THAT’S ROOTED IN LOVE, GRACE, AND THE POWER OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD. IT’S TIME TO STEP ON THE ROAD OF PILGRIMAGE.
