The temptation for sexual sin is everywhere. In today's world, most people have to figure out how to not get lost in that temptation and sin. Christians and ministers are called to "flee from sexual immorality."Ministers are called to authentically lead the way out of such things as porn viewing or addiction and sexual immorality of any kind.1 Corinthians 6:18 Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body.
This mini-course will look at ministering for victory over sexual sin. Jesus Christ paid for all our sins and is making us alive.Ephesians 2:1-5 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath. But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.

These next videos are not developed from a Christian worldview, but they do a good job of showing how the social science community understands "porn addiction" from the perspective of dopamine responders. The term dopamine responder is useful as a term for helping people get over pornography addiction.
