S4 Ep85: 085: Resisting Porn during Quarantine with Jonathan “JP” Pokluda

Heart of Dating is excited to welcome back Jonathan (JP) Pokluda to the show! He is the lead pastor of Harris Creek Baptist Church in Waco, TX and hosts the podcast Becoming Something. Previously, he was the leader of The Porch and teaching pastor of Watermark Community Church, both in Dallas, TX. Under his leadership, The Porch grew to be the largest young adult ministry of its kind in the world. JP came to understand the grace of the gospel in his early twenties after being involved in different denominational churches his entire life. This ignited a desire in him to inspire young adults to radically follow Jesus Christ and unleash them to change the world. Most recently, he has seen this passion expressed through writing. His bestselling book, Welcome to Adulting, offers Millennials a roadmap to navigate faith, finances, friendships, and the future. His most recent book release, Welcome to Adulting Survival Guide, is a 42-day guide dedicated to those in their 20s and 30s. He’s also recently released his new book “Welcome to the Future Church”.  JP's partner in ministry is Monica, his wife of fifteen years, and together they disciple their children Presley, Finley, and Weston. On today's episode, JP talks about how we can combat online temptations and pornography as we face self-isolation, quarantine, and social distancing in this time in history facing the COVID-19 outbreak. He talks about his own struggles as well as practical ways to fight this addiction.  JP talks about the increased temptation of porn during quarantine and how to seek accountability in a time of loneliness.
