Episode 60-From Porn, Infidelity and Shame to Victory: Your Best Days Can be Ahead of You with Chris Cannon

A recent Barna study reveals that 62% of men report struggling with sex addiction or challenges related to pornography—yet only 1 in 10 churches offer resources to help. In this powerful and vulnerable episode, Chris Cannon, founder and Executive Director of Sword and Shovel and leader in HomeWord’s Pastor-to-Pastor ministry, shares his personal journey from early exposure to pornography at age 8 to finding healing through grace, confession, and community. Chris unpacks how fantasy and secrecy can entrap men, and why honest relationships—especially with other men—are essential for recovery. He offers wisdom on navigating hard conversations with spouses, confronting shame, and learning to be truly seen. If you're struggling, you're not alone—and there is real hope, healing, and freedom ahead.Resources Mentioned:Celebrate Recovery: https://celebraterecovery.com/ Pure Desire: https://puredesire.org/ Sexaholics Anonymous: https://www.sa.org/ Every Man’s Battle: https://newlife.com/workshops/every-mans-battle-sexual-integrity-workshop/ Restore: https://newlife.com/workshops/restore-workshop-healing-after-betrayal-trauma/ Covenant Eyes: https://www.covenanteyes.com/ Links:Sword and Shovel: https://www.swordandshovel.com/ HomeWord Website: https://homeword.com/HomeWord Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@homewordJim Burns Blog: https://homeword.com/jims-blog/HomeWord+ Online Courses: https://homeword.com/homeword-plus/Leave a Message for HomeWord: 949-485-3905Have a question you want Jim to answer?
