Porn, Loneliness, and Other Addictions with Greta Eskridge

Welcome to Episode 128 of the Restoration Home Podcast. Greta Eskridge joins Jennifer to talk about her new book, It's Time to Talk to Your Kids About Porn. This is a heavy topic, but one that must be discussed, especially as more and more often we learn that addiction stems from a lack of attunement and attachment in young children, which manifests as addiction in our teens and adults. So the process of teaching our children about so pervasive an addiction and giving them a strong sense of compassion, curiosity, and comfort as they face the ever increasing stresses of life must start when they are young.

Greta and Jennifer bring so much honesty, vulnerability, and experience to this conversation. They address the extremes of of shame or the positions that say porn, or any other comfort strategy that abridges our pursuit of God or acquisition of comfort in a healthy way, is acceptable.

Heads Up: The conversation in this episode is between two moms, and its content is not designed for young listeners.

There was an audio issue, and the content was too good to miss, but was apologise for any annoyance.
